Race is on B1tches! - How many have you cleared?

Digi.k · 01/21/2016, 05:28 PM

beat brandish.

I think the password given was a code to assess how well I played in relation to a competition held by NEC at that time...

blueraven · 01/21/2016, 10:59 PM

Awesome!!

I've always wanted to try that one but the mechanics had me really confused when I had it the first time. I think I sent my copy to someone years back for secret santa...

No, it actually says how many times you've used the Attack command.

And congrats BTW ;)

Clear 19.5: Mysterious Song - Original Mode

The first time through I played the game in balanced mode. Steve and Necromancer told me about the extra features hidden in the game the other day, so I ran through it a second time in 3 hours, and got the characters up to level 37, with the last spell obtained as X-Heal. After barely beating Grimm despite a shit-ton of ether in the inventory, It went to the "Woda" banner screen, and EX MODE UNLOCKED appeared. After clicking on it, Ogien appeared again.

He sent me back to the beginning of he game, and I am now on the third run-through to unlock the bonus features. This is a moment where the FRAM mod would be really nice to have, if you were interested in keeping your EX save.

Digi.k · 01/27/2016, 10:16 PM

after an evening of few scares as I think my disc has a damaged spot... and after quite a few resets and reloads game goes back to normal and I managed to beat it.. man those last levels are really annoying along with annoying bosses and it makes my console glitchy!!

I haven't seen this in a long while either, but first thing that came to mind was "Wow, what a great font!" Seems relevant to our very own Xanadu translation team!

johnnykonami · 02/18/2016, 03:02 PM

Man, that brings back some memories. One of my favorite RPGs, I need to get it out and play it again. I still have part II to work through one day, also. Never played through that one.

NightWolve · 02/18/2016, 03:58 PM

Huh, there were characters named Ethan and Sonia in that game, didn't remember that.

Sorry for the monster picture, I'll fix it when I'm not on my phone. A group of friends in my dorm and I all played this over the course of the past few weeks. After typing in passwords after passwords, we did it. It was amazing and we are all looking forward to playing part 2!

Tell me—should I go back to this game?

What are your feelings on it?

I played it a billion years ago, but I don't really remember how I felt beyond vagaries (it seemed OK...very average).

Then again, I am very forgiving of generic shootemups like this.

I should play it again.

shubibiman · 03/05/2016, 10:20 AM

It's a classic. Looks oldish but it's impressive at times (the sunset in level 2 is superb). Some phases are very tricky and you'll have to train before you can make out how to go through them.

You definitely have to give it another try.

Clear 23: Bomberman 93

Finally sat down with a Bomberman game. I've started 94 many times, but decided to give this a go. Had to continue a buttload of times, but I don't care, still counts for me. I had a lot of fun, even if it got a bit tedious at the end. I'll play through the other 2 games sometime soon-ish. Need to get back on the clear train

The problem with PC Engine FX and posts like these is that I can no longer tell when someone is being sarcastic or just has massive problems with easy games (aka "A Black Falcon syndrome").

Was just being sarcastic. If I actually had a difficult time with it I would have written a 2000+ word essay about it

Make sure you blame the controls while noting the lack of parallax too!

Hey, did you notice there is a message in the credits, at the very end, something like:

"See you in summer"....

Which is probably just a reference to "Summer Caravan" with the Hudson shootemup d'jour...

...but I always fantasized it was a reference to an upcoming unreleased IGS shootemup or an aborted "IGS Carnival"...

jtucci31 · 07/13/2017, 04:13 PM

Hell yeah keep it alive punki!

EmperorIng · 07/13/2017, 04:34 PM

It has been far too long since I've beaten a PCE game (little time or predilection for games as of late). I should probably literally dust off that Chuuka Taisen card and make some real progress; the epiphany came when I switched on autofire and the game (which has built in autofire) became 5x easier.

blueraven · 07/18/2017, 01:56 AM

HELL YEAH PUNK.

OK NEW CHALLENGE.

Since everyone has just been talking about how they really want to play the Turbo/PCE... And there is even a thread where we TRIED to beat all of the games in a year, (thanks btw Bardoly?)

WE SHOULD START BEATING SOME FUCKING GAMES
