Tempest Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 139,430 This version of Martio Bros is weird. It looks nice, but it feels off. The Slipice enemies seem to come out way too often and the skidding/jumping feels wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The control reminds me of Ice Climbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Also the sound the Slipice makes when freezing a floor sounds like the beginning of Punchout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Well I know what I'll be playing on the crapper! xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Is this ROM available anywhere? I searched for it and mostly come up with Super Mario Bros. or a notice that "This ROM isn't available." I thought I might have the cartridge, but I guess not.

Tempest Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Nintendo cracked down on rom sites a year or so ago. You'll have to really dig to find the rom. You'll never do it using google or any popular search engine though as they've scrubbed those sites from their listings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd30 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I'm glad that I downloaded the rom before the crackdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd30 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 This game aggravates me so much. I've been trying to top Tempest but I might just settle for a lower score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 It took me a bit. A lot of false starts. I grew up playing MB on the Apple IIe and it's MUCH slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd30 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I wouldn't even want to play this long enough to get 700k or one million. It's so repetitive after awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 144,790 a little better. I'm pissed off because I was having a really good game and it crashed! I've never seen a NES game do that. you can see half the Fighterfly is missing on the bottom there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd30 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) Oh, and the difficulty doesn't increase that much, at least in this port. Once the ice appears that's about as hard as it gets. Other classic arcade games get much more intense after a few loops. Edited November 23, 2019 by mbd30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
