+therealbountybob Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) To avert danger of beeing too late again, here´s my first attempt´s score: 3800 3 week round this time so plenty of time to master the games I improoved my score a little bit: 4905 (same as SHiNjide;-) First try with altirra, this one with a real XEGS (PAL). @PPS: There´re three of us! Sleepy Everyone welcome to play; I'm sure there are a few more out there Goonies Starter Hints (not spoilers) First screen - keep the stick held and use the diagonals 2nd screen - you can run into the boulders when they are down 3rd screen - relatively easy(!) 4th screen - when the bats come out you can avoid them and they go off screen - watch where they go Edited July 2, 2015 by therealbountybob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gozar Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hmmm, I may have to play this tonight, especially since it looks like no one has beaten it yet. (The final cut scene is pretty good.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Well Done McKong 1pt bonus for Completing The Goonies I've been playing Conan and making slow progress on the Dragon screen but progress none the less. 65,510. You can get more points by killing the bird on level 1, can't seem to get the bird on 2 and wonder if there was more to this screen on the Apple version as it seems too simple? Screen 3 not got the bird (top right) but perhaps you can? Level 4 - you can collect a 3rd gem but not a 4th. Fun challenge: collect as many daggers as you can! After a while loads of the little hoppping creatures appear! [25] Anyone wanting any specific help please post Goonies 6,105 level 6 "the organ" is overwhelming me despite having a lot of men after level 5!

Sleepy Anyone wanting to make some HSC serious points should try and complete any levels of Zeppelin - use the Jolly Roger "JR" version to start on any level (4 men) if you don't want to play for the start. Lots of hints on the Zeppelin thread, The first two levels are fairly easy Improved on The Goonies: 7,155 (level 7). Conan still stuck on the dragon screen - read from last time if you take the extra jewel on level 4 you might not be able to do it? [You can!] Can't figure it out and usually get zapped or fried by a dragon fire ball before i've got anywhere Edited July 8, 2015 by therealbountybob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 On Level 3 of Conan you need to be patient! If anyone wants a hint or two here goes: let two of them go up, so they are close together - they can then be jumped more easily when they come back down. Also, you can stand on the left of the bottom platform and jump up to avoid them while you wait for the teleporter. Remember to run and jump for everything. Looking in my notes I've reached level 7 before but still stuck on those level 5 dragons. C'mon guys lets beat these games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) Conan's Dragon screen wasn't difficult after all! Next one looks tricky though! 73,310 [80,310] [84,100] I'm stuck, perhaps you have to kill those eyeballs?!

+therealbountybob Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Ok McKong put me out of my mysery - clue for the Octopus am getting here with several men.I've beaten this before. I figure go up release the cage stand on it to release the left flipper - perhaps I need both guys up on the top pulley... is there any pattern to the bats ?

ballyalley Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Played some Conan and got to level 5, with one life, which I quickly lost. I scored about 36,000 or so. This game really brings back memories of some people I used to play this Conan with back in junior high school; I haven't thought about them in nearly thirty years. I really dig the music on level 4. It has sort of an echo effect that sounds pretty neat, although like most of the music in this game, it's a bit repetitive. That fourth level can really get crawling with critters! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The water drains out so he's lower down but can't remember how I achieved that! Oh wait I've just looked at the screen. Yes release the cage and then use it to stand on so the guy at the bottom can jump up and hang from the pulley thing at the bottom. That makes the octopus sink and you can jump over him, sounds like you've already done it! As for the bats I didn't notice a pattern but I don't remember them causing too much grief on that screen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballyalley Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Remember to get the extra Jewel on [Conan,] Level 4 That's a good tip. I wouldn't have thought of that. I got that second jewel on level, got the key and saw no use hanging around. Is the extra (third) jewel on level 4 required for a later level, or does beating a later level that much easier to do? I'm having a tough time with "The Goonies." I think I'll have to use a walk-through or video on this one. I can see how beating this myself would be entertaining and would improve the game, but I'd rather play this as an action game-- which it really isn't at all: it's a puzzler. I never realized that before now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
