Daniel_Doyce | 475 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I'm not claiming any Koei games, but I am good for beating them all this year. I'm going to take a crack at Gemfire today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I can count a few of the games, though. Millipede is listed as beating round 16 and you only made it to 11. I know speedrun.com lists 10 rounds, but we've always had 16 as our requirement. Also, I'm not sure if you beat the requirements for Magmax (loop the game) and Tetris (9-5 B-type + high score on A-type). Let me know.

On Magmax I looped through the black/grey level back to what I understood to be the first level again; I definitely fought the boss twice as described in the requirements. As for Millipede, I must have misread 16 as 10 in my sleepy haze. Paired with watching speedruns for all the games, I mixed it up. I'll do it again! As for Tetris, again I misread/misunderstood. I'll not bother with that one, I hate Tetris lol. Just thought it'd be funny to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaryice | 587 Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 (edited) I'll probably take on Amagon tonight as usual. Maybe Phantom Fighter as well?

When I played it, I won via the scholar's mate, which should never happen to a computer Same here -- sometime in the last 5-7 years I beat Chessmaster NES on Infinite and still got that damned "Now try a harder difficulty!" Incredibly lazy of the programmers to leave it that way, but it's not the only game I've played that does that (looking at you, Jimmy Connors SNES). And yeah, the default difficulty of Newcomer/1 is just stupid. It basically plays whatever move happens to come into its virtual head first. The first level, 60 moves in 5 minutes (IIRC), is where the "real" game begins. But no shame in playing defaults for our purposes, of course, especially since the ending is the same load of garbage. BTW I spent some time playing Star Voyager last night but didn't have much luck. When I'm away from that game for a while, I forget the nuances of combat, especially which speeds are optimal for targeting purposes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I avoided the underground areas for the entire game which probably contributed to the low score. I knew that the game was straightforward progress without a score requirement, so I mostly focused on staying alive. I actually had to play twice - the first time I played I went underground and ended up dying over and over cuz I'd lose control of my ship (it wiggled up and down for seemingly no reason). I didn't want to bother looking up why that was happening, but I knew it didn't happen above ground, so I just stuck up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
