Thunder Fox (Arcade, 1990) Completed No Deaths, 1CC - 3,023,700pts

This game was added to the floor of Galloping Ghost Arcade as a recent "Monday Mystery" game. After I tried it earlier this week while there, I was hooked - this is definitely a HAN game! It plays a bit like Crime City mixed with Ninja Warriors, with maybe a dash of Rush 'n Attack / Green Beret.
While not very hard to clear, getting the no death run took a little bit of practice on the last level. I learned quickly that the Shoryu-kick (up plus jump) should definitely be abused - it's totally invincible on the way up. This greatly helped with some bosses and level 4's falling rock section.
Although this run was a nomiss / no death, it could definitely be cleaner. The shmup section at the start of level 2 I can pass most of the time without getting hit, netting a 50k point bonus.
I do appreciate the shortness of this game; it gets right to the action and takes roughly 20 minutes to get through (no second loop).
This game gets two big thumbs up from me, would definitely recommend playing! Default settings used, played on wolfMAME .261 without autofire.
Thanks for watching!
