Frustrated with Space Channel part 2. Grrr...

I'm stuck at Report #2, the big plant boss who has the president captured. I think the plant cheats. Even though I watch the vines and press the arrows, nothing happens. It's as though the controller is not working (and yet it works perfectly everywhere else). I'm getting totally frustrated with my inability to beat this boss.

I suggest you put in the computer auto-play code, and watch the timing on their dance...that should help you figure it out.

Computer auto-play code? I have no idea what that is. But I've decided to quit the game. I am pressing the correct buttons, but it's not registering. I don't think the game is properly balanced (fair), so I'll just sell it.

 

I don't mind hard games, but I do mind when the buttons don't register properly.

You go to gamefaqs, look up "space channel 5 part 2", go to codes, and voila, there it is. The game plays itself after you put it in, until you reinput it. It's a good way to learn the timing on moves.

Cool, thanks! Now I can watch the whole story. I *love* when games have secret self-playing modes. When I had an Amiga, I used to input the code, and just sit back and watch Dragon's Lair or Space Ace straight through.

 

I did get past that annoying boss today, but it was purely by luck. I still can't get the timing right for those tentacles, but I was able to survive with just one star.

 

I need to show this game to my mom and friends. They'll probably laugh out loud!
