jblenkle Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Are those the default settings on ARMORED WARRIORS? I don't see the ability to set the dip switches on that game. Any clues how to start NARC? I get a screen saying DEFAULT ADJUSTMENTS RESTORED...etc...then it just stays there...

bigbee99 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'll double check on the NARC settings soon. Not sure what's going on there. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbee99 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) NARC - Can't figure out how to start it I should have thought of this before. It's a Williams game. Sometimes they can be weird to start up. It can usually be solve by a reset (F3). Here's what I did. Started the game up and let it cycle through all of the test. You will get a message in a Red box. The last line says "High Score Table Reset." Hit F3. The game will reset and cycle again but this time it should take you to the game. If you think it takes a long time, you can toggle the MAME speed with F10. Just don't forget to hit F10 again when the game starts or you will have a hard time.

BillyHW Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Wow, so many games. And I haven't heard of most of them. I won't have time to play them all, but I will try to play some of the ones that interest me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outfoxies, Pooyan and Black Panther are the only ones I know and I am not very good at any of them except for maybe Outfoxies. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I think I've only ever heard of are NARC and Gunforce...barely. Maybe I may have played them once or twice back in the day. Wasn't there a lot of hype about NARC for some reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there a lot of hype about NARC for some reason? Actually I played NARC. I was in middle school. I loved it in the arcade but the NES port was not as good. It was a quarter muncher. I have played Gunforce 2 some but not the 1st one. I foresee MAME and Cyn putting up big scores on Bat and Varth B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never played any of these games either, aside from 4-5 credits here or there. As for NARC, I think it did gain a bit of notoriety. Yet another work from Eugene Jarvis (of Defender/Robotron fame), it was one of the earlier examples of gratuitous gore in an arcade game due to the body parts and guts that fly around when you use the missiles. I remember seeing it at a Dairy Queen near my grandma's back when it was new, and thought it was pretty wild. We went in there one day and they had accidentally left the coin door open on another game in the corner, so we kept running over and grabbing quarters to drop into NARC.

Cynicaster Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Armored Warriors - 545,000 In a lot of ways the typical quarter-sucking beat-em-up, but cooler than most I've played. Batsugan - 650,850 According to Wikipedia, the guys behind this one left Toaplan when the company went under and went to Cave (Donpachi, etc.). The common lineage is pretty unmistakable. I like Batsugan though--the power-up system with the "experience" is interesting. Edited July 3, 2012 by Cynicaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 So after loading up NARC, I think the hype must have been about the violence, drug theme and the digitized graphics. Oh, and apparently it's okay to blow up people into bits and pieces, but not dogs. Is there a J or EU rom that lets you kill/mame Fido?

bigbee99 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 I have never played Pooyan for points really. I have messed around with it some just to know what the game is. I think it's growing on me. Pooyan 93,300 B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son and I played through the whole thing the other day on a lot of credits. It gets cooler as you go on with the different gun attachments, arms, and legs. There's a tank bottom, and even hovercraft. It was a change from the everyday beat'em up. We had a blast fighting over who got what part.

bigbee99 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Died on the 4th fight. BTW, it only shows your score after each round unless you manage to get into the high scores.

BillyHW Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Now that I've looked it up, I think I have played Pooyan before on one of those 100-in-1 carts for the NES. BTW, NARC doesn't seem to reset your score when continuing. How odd. And when I first load it up, the info screen tells me it's 511x399, but then later if you go to game information it tells me 512x400. Strange. Anyways, that's pretty high for a 1989 game.
