Most of my early deaths come from being cocky and rushing a dude who still has his disk. As an aside, isnt the sound of a dying recognizer the best thing ever? ? Yes it sure is. I also love the smashing sound of a blocked disc. Wait...I believe that’s the same sound! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same sound in the hit, yes, but also love that short-circuit buzzing noise the recognizer makes as it goes off screen. For me, two of the more memorable sound effects across all the games. Aside from maybe the dragon roar when it pounces you in Cloudy Mountain... That still freaks me out. ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And let's not forget the greatest video game sound ever....the sound at the end of AD&D when you pick up the Crown of Kings to win the game. I jack up the volume on my TV every time that happens. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpisacane Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Here we are arguing over using one vs two controllers and here's this guy using two consoles [emoji16]Ha! Yeah, I got that System III off eBay a while back. It looked perfect, practically unused, but when I tried to play it, nothing worked at all. I tore open the controllers and cleaned them. Then I tried to clean out the cartridge port as best I could, but still nothing.So, every once in a while I get it out and see if I can get it working, and today I actually managed to get it going! The controllers are actually really sharp and responsive. It's a wonderfully pleasant surprise.

Make them miss (don't stand in one of the 8 directions from them, unless trying to block) then close in for short range shot while their disk is returning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gezkc Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I think that's where I'm going wrong - I'm being impatient and rushing in when I should be waiting and making them miss. I'll get there! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
