oyamafamily Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) 7800 FAILSAFE PREVIOUS THREAD ON HSC. 7800 FAILSAFE - MORE INFOS TIP 1: Before you play 7800 Failsafe, prepare a piece of paper and a pen, and make 4 blanks, according to the scheme showed below. These 4 blanks refer to the Failsafe code. _ _ _ _ TIP 2: Watch Failsafe videos, made by PacManPlus, in order to learn the mechanics of this game.

oyamafamily Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 44,200 Roadrunner, did you start your 7800 Failsafe gameplay with 5 lives? I tried Failsafe on my 7800 Prosystem Emulator version 1.3, and I noticed the following difficulty settings by default (after opening or reseting this cartridge), i.e., without holding F5 and F6 keys at the moment I start this game: 3 lives to start, and 30 seconds to guess Failsafe code.

I did use 5 lives difficulty B/B on the emulator MESS. Is that a good thing or bad thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oyamafamily Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) I did use 5 lives difficulty B/B on the emulator MESS. Is that a good thing or bad thing? Yes, it's a good thing. For those who never played 7800 Failsafe, Left Position on Difficulty Switches is equivalent to B / Novice, and Right Position is equivalent to A / PRO. It's mentioned on 2600 HSC Rules and Regulations. Edited June 12, 2013 by oyamafamily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aftermac Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 With the low turnout this round, I've been inclined to focus on the 3 games in the 2600 HSC. I hope everyone isn't just sandbagging! I do hope we have a new game to play on Monday, since the poll didn't get posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aftermac Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 5,500 Not sure what happened to the crowd this week... I know there's a few people that only play on real hardware, who might not have Failsafe. This round was my first time playing... For what it's worth you did a nice job on it... I'm just not very good at it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atarifever Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Sorry for the no play, but I only play what I have on hardware. Keep meaning to get this one, and keep not having any money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
