Black Valkyrie Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Anyone remember SHARP X68000, a home computer with technology a head of its time. playing perfect arcade port in the late 80s. Capcom used to program on it for their CPS1 game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Managed to get an old SNES cartridge of Terranigma this weekend at a local flea market. After the last boss in Secret of Evermore humiliated me I will give the game a try after I finished SoE, Sadly I only got the bare bone cartridge an no box. The guy was trying to sell a MISB Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask for the N64 to a guy and almost inlcuded this gem into the offer but I managed to be faster and got this one for a good price. Can't wait to play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 i like this game i'm trying to find the anime on dvd... i was too lazy to write down the key codes Yeah, Zillion was a great game. I didn't know until years later it was a clone of Impossible Mission. As for DVDs, good luck. I had an easier time finding the toys. The fansub floating out there did a great job on the entire series though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) dragon spirit arcade one coin, claims no rapid fire (maybe... i think he's using it but regardless, this is impressive), this game was hard as hell!!!!!!!!!!

Black Valkyrie Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Remember PULSTAR for the Neo Geo, done by the same R-Type team. Speaking of video game sound tracks, any of you liked Herzog Zwei OST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of video game sound tracks, any of you liked Herzog Zwei OST. the only thing i remember about Herzog Zwei was that it had a weird name with a cool cover. i thought it was a game related to thunder force II back in the days but never played it. (wasn't made by techno soft as well?) but then i was too antsy back then to get into strategy games. i think madden on the genesis was the closest thing but i just button mashed on the menus. edite: ok, i found it: wow! i should play it. looks good.

dizman Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Heh I used to play blaster master all the time, loved the exploration part of it.

reddsun1 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I found a website a few days ago that has emulators allowing online play of a whole slew of classic arcade games: game oldies dot com. The keyboard controls are a bit awkward, but it's still a hoot to see and be able to play so many old games. Ah, the memories... I finally was able to do what I never had enough quarters for when I was a kid: I finally beat Double Dragon and Double Dragon II [woot! ]. Had to give up on Ninja Gaiden though. Good thing it doesn't cost per-play this time around; that damn thing was a quarter-taker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing it doesn't cost per-play this time around; that damn thing was a quarter-taker! reddsun1, i haven't found one video on youtube of a human being beating ninja gaiden (in a quarter) i thought that game was impossible. double dragon, was easy to beat in a quarter with the one overpowering move for each game. dd 1 = elbow smash dd 2 = back kick (technos corrected the enemy to duck elbows but the back kick works for the entire gm lol) my friend was really mean... at the beginning of stage two, he would tell gullible kids to jump down the pit and something special would happen. when they would, they would ask what just happened?? he would just reply "you died..." messed up!! ah, the days of the arcades wow, i found one video without invincibility or sword cheats, it's under the EU title shadow warriors Edited May 12, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that game was abnormally hard. My first one credit beating of a game came from this gem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=QOE5R1PWRMY Killer Zuntata tunes? Check. Fantabulous mecha design? Check. Awesome flying car with hidden modes that differ with each ending path? Check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renegadeleader1 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Bionic Commando was HARD. Only ever saw the ending because I watched a friend do it. HARD games: Bionic Commando Battletoads Bug! (yeah, the Saturn one---still among the most unforgiving games ever when it comes to jumping--literally one pixel off and you die) I never had a problem with Bionic Commando because I found a place in area 1 where I could grind and build my health up quick. Battletoads overall isn't that hard, its that one particular vehicle level that f***'s you up. As far as hard I would have to add Metal Warriors to that list. I have to this day yet to beat it, and its not from lack of trying. You have very limited continues, no saves, no passwords, one life, and if the mech you are in gets too much damage you loose all weapons leaving you to either eject and find a new mech or try to run away.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) NES Zanac i was able to beat without continues: the best weapon till the last stage is 1 full powered up. bc it's fully powered up ring weapon can penetrate the mini bosses armor and will your shots will not bounce off them which not many people know. (both numbers 1 and 5 fully powered up can shoot without the bullets bouncing off the mid- flight bosses.) most peeps use 7 all the way through. the final stage i use 0 because it's omni directional to kill the side and rear enemies. there's a lot of secrets in the game. such as getting double to triple rate of fire (without using a rapid fire cheat) by taking in massive amounts of yellow power ups. (it takes about half way-3/4ths through the game to get the maximum rate of fire.) i've done it only once. here's a guy doing a run through: Edited May 23, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) Blazing Lazers on the turbo grafx 16: made by the same maker of Zanac, and has a similar power up system using numbers. it's awesome... i still play this these days: Review: (the other playthrough clip doesn't come out well) Correct video needed to see both sides of the lasers for weapon III.
