ed1475 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 So can someone tell me if the cartridge version Dambusters has a different ending or not? It's the same ending. I've won the game on both the Adam and CV versions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 It's the same ending. I've won the game on both the Adam and CV versions. Man, I must be getting old as I don't recall the CV cartridge having the bomb drop and damaged dam screens! Anyway, does anyone else want to tackle any of the other games or will this be up to me?

NIAD Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Holy crap, that 60's Spider-man cartoon style explosion at the end of the game was fantastic! What about the space shuttle and space walk animation along with accompanying musical score? Always loved that one as well as the ending to ADAM's Dragon's Lair.

Always loved that one as well as the ending to ADAM's Dragon's Lair. The 3d shuttle move was neat also, but not as much a surprise since I know what the Coleco can do, but as a kid watching endless Spider-man and Rocket Robin Hood cartoons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MfisiGqtEM The effect in the zaxxon ending is so similar to the effect the cartoons use after a punch is thrown, that after seeing it a million times I wasn't expecting it in a Zaxxon ending...

Tempest Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Addition for Zaxxon that I have not seen mentioned Zaxxon Supergame has a save feature How so? You mean you can stop the game and resume it or you can save the game at a certain point and restore it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 How so? You mean you can stop the game and resume it or you can save the game at a certain point and restore it? If I recall correctly, if you pause the game - asterisk button on the controller - it will ask if you want to save your progress. Next time you load the game, it will ask if you want to continue the saved game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Verify that and I'll add it to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Verify that and I'll add it to the list. Yes, Zaxxon Super Game includes this save/load game feature, but only one game can be saved to the DDP or Disk and you can't save it to a different DDP or Disk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phattyboombatty Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Also, since we're being so detailed, I think it should be noted that Donkey Kong Super Game is a complete rewrite (whereas none of the other SG releases are). Absolutely everything is different (except for maybe Mario with his 15 pixel height). Even DK and the girders are drawn differently. Firefoxes are two sprites instead of one. The hammer has sprite collision. There are so many differences, and it's all due to it being completely rewritten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that is 100% correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you save the game and then load it, does it delete the saved game or can you constantly reload that save? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 You can keep reloading that same save until you overwrite it by saving another game. So if you save the game and then load it, does it delete the saved game or can you constantly reload that save? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
