Just gotta cheese the CPU on the harder difficulties. Take down and fire launching ships and ships that drop tanks. Fill up the screen with the standard ones that just shoot at you and then all you have to do is surround one castle each turn until you win. No cannons even necessary. Not a fun way to play, but a fairly easy win and considering how little building time you have on the harder difficulties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaia Gensouki | 1,038 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I'm currently trying to get through Mission: Impossible. I hope that this should be doable with continues and passwords. So far it's not even a bad game, just quite difficult and obscure since you're stumbling through big, non-linear levels trying to figure out what to do and where to go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this is nitpicking or not, but it doesn't say "you've completed the game" it says "you're completed the game on easy/medium/hard/very hard" which I think has a different context. Regardless of that the part that bugs me is the top parts that say: Easy "not quite the end" Medium " the end sort of" Hard "the end almost" Very Hard "Truly the End" I think that's a pretty definite statement.

It's still clearly an ending, even if it's not the best one. Burai Fighter & TMNT: Tournament Fighter are similar cases, and I haven't required the hardest difficulty for those.

Gaia Gensouki | 1,038 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I've finally beaten Mission: Impossible. While this game wasn't literally impossible, it was still tough challenge. Especially the last mission was one of the worst instances of a final level I've seen so far on the NES. It's not just very difficult with lots and lots of enemies or environmental hazards, but it also has certain roadblocks where you can't advance anymore if one of your three characters dies. To top it all of it's also one of the longest levels I've ever played in such a game as this mission easily took me 40 minutes or so on my final successful attempt. The whole game of Contra Force was quicker than this single level! I think that this one could have been a pretty cool game, but some design decisions drag it down. Still, considering that this is a licensed game it could have been much worse. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BriGuy82 | 752 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Hey guys I'm not working on anything for the foreseeable future. I was semi working on track and field II, but don't have the time to keep up with it. My kids both play travel sports and I'm booked 6 days a week.

BriGuy82 | 752 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 @Bearcat-Doug I couldn't get into track and field II. It doesn't have the same charm as the first one imo. I think the first one would've been a perfect black box game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried, but I didn't get very far on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
