A Sprite Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I dusted off the real thing and played a quick game so far 619,000 I need some practice, but how do you people playing with emulators know it is running at full speed? I bought the game before I emulated it. To A Sprite: I thought we were playing on default settings. It seemed like a good idea at the time? I haven't been able to clear a window in my schedule to give the game the time it needs. It seemed easier to try to match the high score if everything was out to murder me as fast as possible - I didn't want to have to rely on saving the game where no saves would be allowed on the cart itself.

kevin242 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Okay I was just playing and suddenly my man started shooting a cloud of fire... are there power ups or anything like smart bombs in this game? I never did get the instruction manual and this could be seriously holding back my score!!! thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Nope....no smart bombs. Just random power-ups like speedy shoes, flamethrowers, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin242 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Nope....no smart bombs. Just random power-ups like speedy shoes, flamethrowers, etc. How do you get them? I was trying all night to figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Like I said....they are very random. They appear when they want to. Most of the time, you may not even notice them until you've cleared most of the level. They'll pop up alot on "boss" levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think I am making myself clear I never had the manual, what do the power ups look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 One looks like a little squirt gun and the other looks like a pair of shoes. Another one, an extra man, is a tiny shining version of you. I can't think of any other power-ups right now. There are a few other ones.

Lauren Tyler Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I just got this game a few months ago, I'll have to see if I can dig it out of my room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 Well, I just got the game and tried it out, turns out I like it better on the emulator! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 IMHO the controls are easier on a keyboard. I know that may sound weird. I'll have to give it a second play tonight on my N64, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Bumped for the sake of competiton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Yeah, since not very many people have played this one, I'll extend the contest to the 26th at noon. There's also a GoldenEye challenge, so play that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
