I think your tactic to play more Adventure Island than Star Force was a wise one. I can see myself going a fair distance here, but one week of playing will likely not be enough to get me to my max. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve literally had a hard time decompressing and being able to concentrate on anything the last few weeks. I’ve never done a no death run at this game, I’ve come somewhat close though. I’ve only gotten to that point once in the last month of playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last 3 weeks has been hellish. I've had to find new ways to relax. I started setting up a new area to play games in. It's pretty limited on space but the change of scenery should help a lot. Maybe that's something that will help you as well. Edit: @Richardhead here's the start of my alternate NES setup. I'll likely mod it to play all teh gaemz and add some pieces of flair to the location for that extra bit of spark joy.

Kid Dracula | 126 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) I tried to join the star force party last week but noticed I was too late. I went through the Adventure Island trilogy recently so I figured I should give it a go.

It's not Wednesday, so I can't hate this game (yet). I haven't had a chance to play again since I posted my score Sunday, so I'm not sure how much better I can do. I had a copy of Adventure Island as a kid and was pretty good at it back then, but I don't think I've played it in the last 30 years until this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a chore. Especially with all this SIP stuff happening. Jennie is always here when I’m here, so I spend more time talking with her and watching movies. My concentration level after work is so low I can hardly get a good run in. I’ll be doing really well then die at some stupid point in area 3 or 4, sometimes in the late parts of 1 or 2. This fucking virus thing has got me all kinds of fucked up in the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think like most of us I have a love/hate relationship with Star Force. I did finish it for the first time this year for the "Can VGS beat all the NES games in a year" thread. I'm not sure how far I could go on one life though! What level did you get to with your winning score? Thanks! I just checked and the model is KV32-FS100. I found it ditched on the side of the road a few years ago and a good samaritan helped lug it in my car! I know the 32 is for size but what does the KV, and FS mean? Oh yeah I love the Saturn imports. I'll snap a quick pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of it as a game like Battletoads that is one of the more challenging on the system to beat. The level designs just keep getting more evil as you progress. The difficulty of the platforming and amount of memorization required makes it fun for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah I love the Saturn imports. I'll snap a quick pic. damn! ive never completed star force WITH lives so nicely done. i maybe got half way through with that score. ole ti-83 is better at the game than me but im glad he ran out of time lol he deserves to lose every once in a while im not real sure the differences in the fs/kv. i think for 240p there is no difference. but i could be wrong. i saved this fs120 just a few days ago. the picture is blurry as hell and its beat the f up but i think if i get in and adjust the focus pot it might save it. i jammed it in the front passenger seat of my 2000 civic lol the picture is really nice but i have this 20" tau and i just love the size. this trinny is 27" and just a beast to pick up and its huge overall size.... its just too much lol if i ever find a 20" trinny it will replace the tau. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
