Goblincat Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 What about Journey Escape? Did it have an ending? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Propane13 Posted August 19, 2002 Author Share Posted August 19, 2002 You're quite right about the switch-up of the controllers getting annoying. I know when I'm standing in the map room, and leave to get a sandwich and come back, I sometimes move the wrong controller first, and end up in that dang bog. Stupid Valley of Poison! Gahh! -John K.

+Propane13 Posted August 19, 2002 Author Share Posted August 19, 2002 And then there's the pushing the wrong button issue. Accidentally getting rid of the shovel after nuking your parachute because you press the button twice in a mesa makes me want to take up drinkin'. So many horribly frustrating moments in such a small game. I never figured out how to bribe the sheik to get to the black market. Anyone ever do this successfully? -John K.

Paul Slocum Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Marble Craze ends after level 18. Although I haven't been able to finish it yet. I can only get about halfway through 18 as it's pretty hard. -Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only get about halfway through 18 as it's pretty hard. Speaking about homebrews: Thrust has an (actually there are two ends, one especially for cheaters ) end too. But you must go through at least 24 missions (including that "deadly something") to get to it. And yes, I've played thru (for testing), but I used a hacked version with unlimited lifes and fuel.

DuckandCover Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 What about Journey Escape? Did it have an ending? If you can endure the game long enough to get each band member to the escape vehicle, you're rewarded with an Atari rendition of the Escape album cover, with the escape craft launching. Then...well it starts all over again, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Slocum Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 And yes, I've played thru (for testing), but I used a hacked version with unlimited lifes and fuel. Same here. It's sad when you have to hack your own game to beat it. -Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Same here. It's sad when you have to hack your own game to beat it. I think its more like that: We are much to busy with programming, that we can train enough to beat our own games. But if we had the time, we sure could.

Sharky Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Did Chuck Norris have an ending ? I reached the castle a couple of times and then it just beat'em to the death until you die i recall At the Castle you couldnt seem to knock anyone else out as the computer-fighter just wouldnt give up.

Nukey Shay Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I never figured out how to bribe the sheik to get to the black market. Anyone ever do this successfully? WARNING: Raiders of the Lost Ark puzzle spoiler While standing on the Black Sheik’s flute icon, drop the Chai (one of the treasures from the temple); this will take you to the Black Market instantly. Another spoiler: You need to "bribe" the raving lunatic at the black market with a bag of coins or else he will kill you after using the above method of getting there (it's kind of tricky to find the right spot to stand at as well). Since you can only carry six objects at a time...you'll have to weigh the options (Chai+gold / Ankh) of getting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Don't forget Laserblast's !!!!!! ending when you hit 1,000,000 points! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keir Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I haven't played these to the end, but I imagine Escape from the Mindmaster and Dragonstomper must have endings. Also, I can't remember... does Mountain King end, or do you just do it again after you bring the crown to the top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARI TROLL Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 doesn't Dark Mage have and ending? Missle Command has one as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 spikes peak & ghost manor both end. Spike has a little flag on the montain peak iirc. god took me forever to beat that game. tomarc the barbarian ends. (but i dont remember if it restarts at end or not,) fathom has an ending (a text message of where to send to get a free t-shirt,) mountain king 'ends' but repeats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 spikes peak & ghost manor both end. I still cannot work out watch your suppose to do in Ghost Manor. Your just running around chasing a ghost or its chasing you. Are you suppose to catch the ghosts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 there is a LOT more to it than that. U have to earn entrance to the castle, get past the head chopper and other nasties, then explore the castle maze, defeat dracula and rescue ur friend. Pretty involved for a 2600 game.

Nukey Shay Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 They do? Don't they just keep looping over and over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 well i think the general question is games that have a definite ending, not neccessarily ones that stop? or am I reading it wrong? Krull loops, but it also has a definite ending... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I still cannot work out watch your suppose to do in Ghost Manor. Your just running around chasing a ghost or its chasing you. On the first screen, you're supposed to touch the ghost as much as possible. IIRC, this earns you points, which in turn earn you... ummm... something useful. I forget what exactly. Extra lives? Airlock has an ending. Once you escape the flooding submarine, it shows you standing on top on the surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witchfynde Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I haven't played these to the end, but I imagine Escape from the Mindmaster and Dragonstomper must have endings. Yeah, someone on here just said the other week that I think level 8 to Mindmaster was the final one, and Dragonstomper is really tough to beat, but it also ends. There's also the exclamation mark "ending" of H. E. R. O. and Tunnel Runner ends at the 119th (or somewhere around there) level, although the game just crashes...doesn't seem like much to me to put in a little anime showing your character (for the first time EVER to see it onscreen) running out and jumping up and down while it says "you made it out, Tunnel Runner!", or something. But video game endings were pretty much unheard of back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
