It shows the following: DIRECTOR, EXEC PRODUCER, PRODUCER, GAME DESIGNERS, GRAPHICS, MUSIC COMPOSERS, PROGRAM- MERS, TOOLS (not sure if I'd want this credit), DEBUGGERS and a few SPECIAL THANKS credits. It will then say THANK YOU in the top score box and finally return to the title screen. I guess it's cool that they put this in there for scoring over a million points, but wouldn't you rather see this at the end of your high point scoring game instead of hidden in the opening screens of the game? Basically, to see the credits you have to wait until after the high score screen on the title page. So you got the requirement but didn't notice/know about the way to view the credits. Oh thanks! I didn't know of this one. This looks like a handy reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was the reference used when I started the thread, and where a bunch of the Pastebin info came from. While a lot of his requirements are well beyond the scope of the average gamer, it also generally tells where the game loops, which makes finding the best info for our purposes a lot easier.

nerdynebraskan | 356 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Nothing spectacular. Two pairs of something. I did actually get a royal flush in spades earlier in the poker battle with King, though. The final poker battle is such a relief after the tedium of playing Blackjack with King. That was easily half of the time I spent on my entire playthrough today. So tedious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarzombie | 927 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Finished off Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (good ending). Its a very short, simple game. I can only imagine someone getting really pissed off buying it for $40 or $50 and being able to beat it in 15 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NESfiend | 1,517 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Lee Trevinos fighting golf. Hole 5 really made my opponent and I's scorecards look ugly despite playing really well otherwise. Theres a long story there about the AI and how it can then affect you as well. Noticed it playing last year as well. For a game thats regarded as horribly shitty, I find it plenty enjoyable Edited January 27, 2022 by NESfiend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not spectacular, but definitely a good way to kill a couple hours half alseep and watching a game in the background. Pretty sure Ive hit straight flushes, but never a royal. Ive played it enough that Im either really unlucky or thats really rare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_wizard_666 | 1,325 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Progress report: Bard's Tale is coming along nicely. I've now finished the Catacombs, and have entered the Castle area. The enemies are a LOT stronger though, so I may run back to the Catacombs to level grind. Apparently the item you need to enter the Castle is worth over 17K gold, and the boss you fight can be farmed if you sell it, so I may do that...got me a whopping 10K XP for killing him (used a Gold Ring on him during the fight to double it). Between that and the 27-Zombie fights, there's a good amount of XP to be had there. But that's all there is, as I've more or less got either the best stuff from there, or a bit better out of the Castle, so it'd be strictly XP grinding. For my secondary game, I did some save-state practice on Lunar Pool. There's a few tricky tables, but there's enough easy ones to make a few extra lives on the way, so hopefully a 1 credit run to get the ending is feasible with some practice. Not gonna hold my breath though. It's a fun game, but definitely one of the harder ones of it's kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarzombie | 927 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Since i'm enjoying playing some of these games I haven't in a long time, I made myself a list of ones I don't remember hating trying to beat, but some games i'll have to learn again. With this, auto-fire is still not allowed correct? If it is, I could crank out Silver Surfer and Festers Quest pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had me debating last night if I havent hit a royal as I thought or if my memory has just gone to shit. Gaming is really the only realm in life where Ive started to notice my memory getting worse. Playing thru ocarina for 64 thread, Ive had to look up some things I def should have remembered having played thru the game at least 3 or 4 times.

I'm pretty sure turbo is not allowed, even on accessories like NES Max/Advantage, or the twin Famicom controllers. Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong though.

I never really understood that rule TBH. It certainly wasn't a factor in the early days. I could see if this was a competitive scenario, but it's very much not.

the_wizard_666 | 1,325 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Progressing nicely in The Bard's Tale, and since Lunar Pool is likely not gonna be beaten any time soon, I decided to try something a little different and fired up F-15 Strike Eagle. Kinda glad I did too, as it's way better than I was expecting. I'm not a big flight simulator guy, but this one isn't terrible. I've flown three missions in total, and have received one medal so far. Only just unlocked the third mission though, so it's not like it's going down any time soon, and I do wanna get the Medal of Honor for my personal list, but getting to (and finishing) the final level is probably gonna take a lot less effort on my part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khromak | 770 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Just beat otocky. The first 9 stages weren't too bad, but the last 2, especially the final one, were brutal. To be fair though, I'm terrible at shooters. Very good game, nice graphics and of course nice sound. I love the fact that most (all?) Of the fds games thus far have had saves. Makes grinding them much easier. As far as turbo goes, I would love it if it wasn't against the rules, because I've ground my fingers to the bones on certain games.

So I always had a feeling they made some games harder to force you to buy a nintendo product. The two biggest games I can think from that benefit from it are Festers Quest and Silver Surfer. With Silver Surfer being, close to, if not impossible to beat towards the end without even one upgrade. You're just so weak. With a turbo controller, you have somewhat of a fighting chance, and even then its really tough. @scaryice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
