Arcade High Scores! Current Game: R-TYPE - COME ON IN!

57,300. Died almost instantly at the boss (?) which followed the corridor level. Need to figure out what to do there, so might invest some continues to learn it.

Missed Shadow Warriors unfortunately. I don't have that one on my handheld, and had taken it away skiing but couldn't add roms away from a pc.
 
82,000. A few times I've picked up a flamethrower in the corridor which doesn't have enough reach. The end of corridor boss always seems to get me too so need to develop a strategy.
 
153,500. Still getting caught by the stupid end of level boss but thankfully carrying more lives to the end of the level now.

I honestly thought the weapons were limited to a few shots. Now a new problem is avoiding picking up a gun you don't want.
 
FINAL RESULTS: SHADOW WARRIORS
1. 229,400 [JoeBoi]
2. 177,700 [Tealc]
3. 93,000 [Metalface Mark]
4. 57,300 [cheesyboy]

New game choice goes to @Tealc with DONKEY KONG JR!

8,500 after a few tries. Managed to get to the third level. Yes it is super hard.

I chose this because I used to play this a lot on Atari 8 bit.

Edit...

Turns out I was playing a different rom set, a Japanese version (although was in English), which had a high score table that was different to posted in the image above.

Anyway tried on the parent rom (US Set F-2) and scored 13,000.

After the level 2 key level the game wraps back to level 1 but with more, and possibly faster crocodile thingies.
