I noticed that the Hiscores for Bank Panic are really incredible
compared to what I can achieve. Would anybody care to share their
winning strategies? Right now I only try to milk each level of
what it's worth, which often loses me a life due to timeout
I haven't figured out the "fair average" thing at all yet. TIA for
your input!

As I currently have the top score on this, I`ll give you my
'strategy'. Basically clear the levels, but try and scrounge as much
score as you can. The patterns go into a cycle after a while, level
50 or so. As for the 'fair/average' thing, if you wait until the
Outlaw draws his gun first, before shooting him, you`ll get some kind
of bonus score. I don`t bother with that. I just shoot the suckers on
sight. If I get a bonus, well then OK, but I don`t deliberately go
for it.
Remember....shoot first, ask questions later
Nope, I`m not an ex-member of the LAPD Is that a bad joke ?

The only guys really worth going for the bonus on are the red-shirts
who aren't wearing white boots - the white boot guys are the ones who
require 2 shots to kill.

<p>

The ones without the white boots are worth trying to get the 0:00
clock time 5000 points bonus and more importantly another letter in
the word EXTRA.

<p>

However, as Alex rightly said you're better of shooting them as soon
as you detect they're bad guys rather than risking it going for the
bonus.

<p>

Back in the bad old days in the arcades we used to play this game as
a three-some. Watch only 1 door each and always go for the time
bonus on all the gunmen. Made for some ripping high scores - we had
10+ million one time with lives aplenty as we were hitting the 0:00
red shirt guys almost every time and spelling EXTRA with appalling
frequency.

<p>

We used to use the same technique for Mole bash taking a vertical row
of buttons each and totally wasting the game........ ahhhhh the
memories of forgotten youth.

PS: One day I will replace my 1.5 million score that was made at
slightly less than 100% speed with a new recording so watch out
Alex..... as we may have another battle like we are with Tapper. ;-p
