Response to BBH: Oh no, I don't believe it... :( my score defeated..

For what it's worth, I haven't had "just a few goes" at Blood Brothers either. I played it quite a bit in the arcade (although I never was really that good at it), and played a fair amount of it on RAINE. When it's on MAME I'm more determined to finish it on one credit. Anyway, my best guess is that skills from Nam-1975 and Cabal carry over? I actually learned Nam-1975 first, and got the hang of the controls down, eventually able to finish the game in one credit in the arcade... then I had to re-learn it when it was emulated. As for Blood Bros though... I dunno, I guess bomb stockpiling helps out a lot :P

I use a six-button Interact PC Powerpad Pro/MakoPad. I can set up all three buttons in a row for easy access. And my computer is a P2-450, so slowing the game down isn't an option ;)

As for the test screen, I have no clue. Sometimes it comes up, sometimes it doesn't... maybe the button I'm pushing to advance past the game information screen triggers the test menu too? Doesn't seem like any of the dip switches can be changed just yet.

And there's no score doubling, the game awards exactly [said in a Dr. Evil voice] one meeel-yon points! If you die on the last boss and continue, the score will be just over a million.

Good luck, I'm sure you'll be able to beat my score soon :)
