    Holy moly, those scores!!!

    Thanks for the tips lads, will give it another crack and see how I get on.

    Gorgeous looking board by the way tonyotonyo, I've never seen that type of Capcom PCB before.

    Well that's me truly beaten! That's a whopping score, I suppose the fact you can get to level says a lot :pm

    AAs with everything in my life, I've been handicapped by the Japanese once more. The zenny cost of the items in tye dragon version is just too bladdy high. The 3rd level weapon is 4800 and I don't think I've even collected that much in a single game yet.

    Will give it another shot later, its a cracking game really

    It's in good nick all right. I call those capcom boards "system 8", just my own made up name. Gunsmoke, ghosts n goblins, 1943, Section z, legendary wings and I think Armadyne (something ...dyne) are all similar.

    You have to watch out though because even though they look very similar some are jamma pinout and others aren't. Chance to fry the game!

    So Ya have armour rating when that's gone your bollic naked and one hit again and you die .

    When you get to fight the big boss dragons, the vitalities are like hit points … so you can take a hit, lose vitality, take a hit, lose armour … and so on, until you lose everything and die, crumbling to the earth like a smelly, defeated loser



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,980 ✭✭✭trout


    Really, by the time you hit level 8 you should be wearing +8 armour, and have 3 or 4 vitality points, and the best weapon for sure. Level 9 is a frantic mess of ninjas, mummies, spinning skulls, red devil blood clot monsters, pixel perfect jumps and some other stuff too terrible to recall right now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,980 ✭✭✭trout


    There's a bonus on the first step of the first level … turn around (left) and peg the wall a few times

    If you look carefully at the fireball under the dragon, you'll see my crispy, smokin' hot, butt nekkid corpse … that's the end of level boss for the final level, and I just can't get past him. Been trying for days now.

    I'll take a break, and maybe try again later in the week … but eh … check out that hi score

    I knew there were some Black Tiger sickos on this board when it was chosen and I wasn't disappointed when one of them appeared and absolutely smoked us.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,925 ✭✭✭unky chop chop


    Absolutey schooled for sure . I went to play it yesterday and just wept , smoked fags had a beer hung my head on the control panel and the played golden axe to try claw back a scrap confidence as I'm ok at that
