    I know already that I'll only be playing for a point on the leaderboard.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,922 ✭✭✭TechnoFreek


    Is the romset confirmed?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 3,186 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dr Bob


    246683.pngjaysus , 1 coin gives 30 seconds which kicks in BEFORE the game starts , , the level select , level opening animation takes 5 seconds , which leaves 25 seconds of gameplay time. When thats up you lose control of rockford and teh games (REAL) timer counts down to 0.Nothing can add to that maxflex time , not gameplay , not even pressing start(just to confirm I gave it a shot)..nothing!
    I managed 70. (which is a few diamonds into A1)
    Best thing is probably to set it to max (480), that way you're getting a few minutes of play and are still dealing with 3 lives etc managed 1432 with that.
    Either that or cut out the middle man and play it on an atari 8 bit (which is the exact same rom ..which I actually have on tape ;))as Maxaflex seems to be the atari 8 bit version of the NES play 10!
    Edit
    supposedly putting more coins in at 0 will let you continue your game , but it didnt seem to work for me


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 3,186 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dr Bob


    ok if you hammer in credits , you can auto continue on and play a normal game of boulderdash(i.e. 3 lives or so then you're dead, game over , sub score) ..so do you guys want to do it that way? or just 1CC rules (in which case how long a time to set?)

    Damn didnt think that would be a problem

    Suppose 1 credit with 480 seconds would be for the best

    Going to see what the max i can get on those settings is.
