Hey guys, it's been awhile since I've posted, but I couldn't resist the charm of AF2!

Good one. As I recall it can be easy to get far. I'll get something up.

Thanks, EE. This game has a nice difficulty curve. It's really accessible, but ramps up pretty hard near the end. The last stage has checkpoints too to keep you on your toes.

It helps that there are break stages such as 1-3 where you can just get points and powerups. I remember the final stage from my credit-feeding days. We also have a dedicated score thread for this and some other AF games buried in the subforum here.

So I had some time today and I played with all 8 characters. The bold score was my best attempt.

ExedExes - 406,000 - Bobby - Stage 6 - MAME
Mao-Mao - 366,600 - Stage 5
Silver - 351,300 - Stage 6
Spanky - 338,600 - Stage 5
Hi-En - 325,400 - Stage 5
Cindy & Ellen - 309,100 - Stage 5
Robo Keaton - 308,900 - Stage 5
Steve - 285,700 - Stage 4

Didn't get much time to spend on AF2 this month, so just time for one quick entry...



686,200 - Doc-Hauser - Hi-en - 1-8 - MAME

Not my best score ever. I was also getting serious slowdown on Stage 8, not sure if that's present in the original game or if it's an emulation thing...

Time has been killing me this year on this as well. Between the other online competitions, a lot more real life activities taking up a lot of my time and a little thing called Pokemon Go, I haven't been doing these as much as I should. To be fair, even the main Together Retro has taken a major hit in participation this year as well. But I'm looking forward to next month, which will be up within the hour. I appreciate all of you who continue to play and make this a thing!
