I figure with your proven ability in all the HSC games,you will do very well at this one. It definitely requires skill and patience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntyFanMatt Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Playing this game tonight and having a blast. Here’s my quick review. It’s challenging but very fair. You’ll certainly die a lot but you learn each time that you die, which makes it more fun as you progress further and further with each restart. It’s awesome to shoot the enemies and grab treasure, and it feels like a lost Indiana Jones game that should have been released for the system back in the day. The only thing that can be tricky is having to press “up” to jump. I find that every now and then I’ll accidentally jump just because I’m trying to move left or right, and that can cause me to die. It’s very touchy. I would’ve preferred the jump button to be one of the side buttons, along with the gun, and then move the dynamite button to one of the keypad buttons. But that’s just me. I’ll continue to enjoy this and hope you guys do too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very well made game,and fun. I am probably not going to make it all the way through the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am probably not going to make it all the way through the game. I tried numerous times but the first level seems pretty long. When I thought I was near the end, it turns out that I wasn’t. Honestly, pressing up to jump is really bothering me. I wish he would’ve programmed the jump button to one of the side buttons, and to me they would’ve been much more intuitive. I’m fighting the controls a bit because of that and it’s caused me to die in a few spots. Plus some jumps are a bit difficult because there is a ledge above you that blocks you sometimes, and there are a few cheap deaths that happen with traps outa nowhere. But, as you and I say, you learn from it and try to master it with the next go around. I figure I’ll get to the end of the first level in the next day or so.

IntyFanMatt Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) Finished the first level tonight with the Intellivoice attached, but there has not been one voice in the game yet. I’m confused as to why the manual would say to use the Intellivoice, but there are no voices at all the first level?! Seems strange to me. Also, I haven’t had to use the stick yet, which is surprising too. Still a fun game, by why go a whole level without these things?

As the introduction page says: “Use your Intellivoice to hear enhanced sound effects during the game!” If you do an A/B comparison, you should notice the difference. It’s sort of like some games having enhanced music when an ECS is connected. Edited December 24, 2020 by mthompson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve played it a ton already and there is no difference, at least on the first level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Rick Reynolds Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 When the player dies, the Intellivoice adds a whiny sounding yell. I don't know if there are other enhancements via the Intellivoice, but I know that one is there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds just like the famous Wilhelm Scream sound effect, used in more than 400 movies, and in this game you'll hear it a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinjinhawke Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Apparently Rick Dynamite got off the plane in Toronto but hasn't made it to my mailbox yet. I don't recall a boulder between my house and the airport. Maybe there are other obstacles slowing him down. I guess once I hear the Wilhelm scream I'll know he is getting close. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a lot of games that use the Intellivoice lately...and in a quality unheard of (pun intended). 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
