gar0u Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Got Worm Whomper working with 'jzintv' on my laptop. Don't have the cart or an LTO Flash (yet). Loved Utopia back in the day, but always only focused on beating my opponent, never optimizing my score. First try. Now to ready my old rule book for some tips... I have my original gatefold Utopia that is beat to hell, a sealed gatefold, a sealed top loader, the Flashback (which is what I'm playing on), and the ROM for the LTO some day! Edited August 18, 2020 by gar0u Remove full screenshot of my island! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't find an advantage in one over the other, I just have jzintv coded to left controller for my Flashback and it's too much hassle to change it around ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought the game was skewed to the right island. But when you employ the “kill the population” strategy, I guess it doesn’t matter right? All depends on the weather though.

gar0u Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I always felt the left island got less hammered by the hurricanes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps overall less hit, but when they do, they make up for infrequency with severity and usually plow straight south through the bulk of the left island. Speaking of hurricanes, the tension and drama of a hurricane that sits half off the bottom of the screen is just epic, especially in a 2 player game. Hats off to the developer and the 'nudge' code creating such awesome weather outcomes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been messing with the right island all night but not having too much luck there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House first? School or factory first? 1 or 2 fishing boats first? I’m not sure. But will be spending a lot of time with this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gar0u Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 When I got out my original Utopia box to read the manual for clues, I saw this guy. Always reminded me of "Michael Coldsmith-Briggs, III (Archangel)" from Airwolf. Coincidence? Easter egg? Utopia/Airwolf cross-over? What are those rebels doing on that island? By the way, did anyone else ever string together multiple video games to tell your own story? Play a game of Space Battle, then when the invaders reached your base, jump into Space Armada or Star Strike for that last ditch effort to defend the planet? If so, what games did you connect? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
