I hope so. I've been considering picking up as many games from the contests as I can at least those I end up enjoying, and that one is way up there on the list. Probably ridiculously expensive now of course, cuz fuck me, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd39 | 2,020 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 RollerGames is kind of a hidden gem. Konami could do almost no wrong on the NES IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the scoring system being broken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem to get harder so a score rollover might be possible depending on how long you're willing to leave your NES paused on the same game lol. I did four loops in a row and hit just over 8 million. It took me like two hours, and there are how many zeros in front of your score to fill up? I honestly think it would take a year of playing it whenever you could and leaving your NES on to roll over that score counter. Also, I had mid-20's for lives, so it would be interesting to see if your life counter maxed at 99 or rolled over as well, but even accomplishing that would take like seven or eight hours of playtime... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, with the long-hang jump if you go right off the edge. You can even bomb them at the last moment before you land. I never wanted to just go on the left side from the beginning because the jumping forward and avoiding being hit by those enemies that materialize out of nowhere was just too tight of a situation compared to doing it on the right side. But then I noticed those 4 boots just begging to get bombed at the end of the left side and decided I'd better go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, DDII has the bridge + the platforming in the mansion & trap room, Isolated warrior has that level 6 jump, Dino Riki hits you with the mandatory platforming in 4-3.... All potential 1-life run enders. Also, all are all time favorites for me personally... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the beginning of 4-3 though and not in the middle by the Volcanoes either. Only the spot at the end has wings as a possibility. Granted, I don't consider the first spot and the middle spot to be difficult at this point, but certainly when getting there for the first time it was rough. Although, if one is not careful after the two volcano jumps it's easy to accidentally back into the pit because of all the stuff coming at you from the front... One of these days I'ma hafta get around to perfecting the no wings run for that game. That spot at the end of 4-3 becomes the hardest in the game without wings for sure.

Not having or losing the wings will easily end your run if you're not really good at the platforming, and hopefully not maxed on speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
