AHA! None of you probably remember me (or my much earlier post in this thread), but after months of frustrating gaming I have FINALLY BEAT MR. BIG!!! The NES version of NARC sucks, and I've given up on it since it makes you use 2 buttons for 5 commands. Damn that's annoying....
Anyway, I have found a pretty cheap way of beating Mr. Big in the arcade version (but do what works, right?)
Collect every missile that you can in the game and save them all for the last fight. You should have 99 of them by the end. After you destroy his 3 wheelchairs, his sunglasses, and all the flesh on his head, make sure you have a couple of lives left. Let him kill you once. Then, on your next life, during that precious few seconds of invincibility, walk up as close to him as you can and empty as many missiles you can at the base of his spine. Each time you do that, you should usually get enough points for another life. That may be really cheap, but it's the only way i know to get rid of him. Shooting anywhere else seems to be ineffective, and it's impossible to get close enough to clear shot of the base of his spine without his huge freaky skull biting you, and the tongues. OH GOD, THE TONGUES!
After a few turns, his head should start spinning and debris will fly everywhere, until his skull explodes and comes off of the freaky purple head-transportation thing.... Then big cockroaches fly out of the skull and try to bite you. Yuck.
You now have access to his secret room, which is filled with lots of 24k gold bars, and is guaranteed to get you enough points for the number 1 high score. Then you get some lame-ass ending:
"Congratulations! You have completed your NARC training mission.
Contact your local DEA recruiter."
How freaking stupid is that?
Now I'm trying to beat the last boss in NAM-1975. And when you die, the world explodes or something and it's automatically Game Over.
