mbd30 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) Another game I've never played! I expect most will be playing on emulator or Everdrive. Edited December 1, 2019 by mbd30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 77,600 This game gets stupid hard, but for the wrong reasons. There's so much flicker when there are more than a few enemies on the screen I can't tell if I'm near an enemy's hit box or not. Then there's the cheap instant deaths (which was the norm for the time though), and then there's just some enemy patterns I can't figure out. Those skewer enemies decimated my life repeatedly. The level layout is kind of questionable too in spots. Still, not bad for a first shot. I've never played this before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still like the quirkiness of the concept and looking forward to giving it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 It's a cute game, but the levels are kind of short. Definitely pushing the NES a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd30 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I like this game. It's more challenging than expected. Not worth the going price though. No game would be. But there is occasional heinous flicker and slowdown like the graphics are pushing the NES too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 You'll have to take my word for this. I had about 89,000 and 3 lives in reserve when the damn game crashed on me. Grrr.... I was actually doing well this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd30 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Is the fork/pogo stick ever worth getting? It seems more like a huge detriment. It's my experience that you're more likely to hurt yourself rather than the enemies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 138,700 I got to the final boss but I had one heart and zero lives. The french fries and fish in the last area are tough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking earlier that it was odd that you hadn't posted anything yet. I don't know why I kept scrolling past it. Definitely wasn't on purpose.
