PII | 1,855 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Took it up through the 23rd or 24th play-through. Correction, enemy speed continues to increase. The ghosts don't really get much faster but their projectiles do, and their behavior changes considerably for the worse. The petite devil doesn't seem to speed up at all. The blue devils get to moving so fast that they seem to be tracing out the shape of a pound sign # on the screen, the unicorns just mow you down, the dragon is a spastic nightmare, Red devils change their behavior frequently in successive variations, the big men look to be genuinely impossible at most points and I never got anywhere near one of the satans on level 5 or 6. I just skipped around trying each level. Eventually around playthrough 20 on the first level I could no longer go up the first ladder without being shot off by the green plant due to the speed increasing. The red tower things on level 3 shot faster as well. The zombies on the first level required a very good offense. Any attempt to hold ground for an extended period met with certain death... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you play through it 23 or 24 times in a row? I played 10 loops of Super C once before I didn't want to play anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I was just giving each 1st level a go. Then, during the higher-numbered play-throughs I got curious what the rest of the enemies were like at such wildly advanced difficulty so I sampled 2 - 6 as well. I was also curious if there'd come a point that the program would just reset to default, but not so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people around here crazy enough to play through 24 straight times, so I figured that I had better ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, and I'd probably be one of 'em, but in this case that would not be doable. On one of my late 1st level goes I managed to get all the way through the level - took one hit on the unicorn that was whipping back and forth like a hummingbird that'd just discovered its first ever can of Jolt Cola.

I might try that type of a marathon with some games, but not this one. Two loops is enough for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The near 7 loops of Contra is probably the most I've done of a normal length game. There may be shorter games I looped more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other thing that I recall doing that took that long was playing SimCity from the start to a 600k population in one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperJimtendo | 1,091 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 So this is it huh. The very last week before the tournament. I didn't really feel like playing much this year and I didn't keep up with the threads either. Hopefully there was some good stuff and most people had fun. See what I can do about getting a kickle picture up later. For old times sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
