Basically, by switching between your two starting territories, you can quickly grind to a high level, then strategically battle each daimyo with a very limited force. It turns a 25-30 hour game into a "quick" 5-6. Hm, thanks for the tip! I haven't played it in some years, but I'll make note of it in case I play it again!

That removes most of the tedium of the game since you can conquer a large portion of the fiefs without a battle. That exploit only works on the lowest difficulty, which, in my opinion, isn't really beating the game. On the hardest game setting (50 fiefs, skill 5), assassinations only work for the first couple of really weak daimyos, and then you have to skillfully gain territory for the rest of the game (bid or conquer). Yeah, it takes a ton longer, but it's also a much more satisfying victory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The graphics are horrible. It barely even qualifies as a "game". I looked back at my notes when I last played it: "There are different "modes" but they are all very simplistic...this is 1 step above Atari Basketball". LOL just my opinion of course, I'm sure some people out there love it! That's because it's based on the original Dr. J vs Larry Bird game from 1983, which was probably the first ever decent basketball video game. (I think this version was from 84) Edited January 9, 2021 by scaryice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nerdynebraskan | 356 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 With Firehouse Rescue done, we're officially out of 1 pointers. Or, rather, we will be when @scaryicecorrects that I've already beaten Mega Man 5. I posted it between his clear of NFL Football and Bea's Andretti clear on page 16. I can forgive him for the oversight, given that her clear was a lot more impressive than mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NESfiend | 1,515 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) 16 hours ago, WashYourFace said: I would say Jordan v. Bird is NOT great, though. One of the worst actually. Finished Jordan vs Bird. First two modes went pretty quick, but 3 pt shooting took some practice. I get the criticism, but its far from the bottom of the list for me. The 1 on 1 seems broken when you first try. I dont think the manual mentions it, but you can hold down B as a seemingly unlimited turbo button. That makes it a lot more playable. The dunk contest is a little frustrating because I cant score as high as the cpu and dont know why, but the cpu misses some making it easy to clear. Not a great game, but not godawful by any means in my book. I think itd be a crack up to play it 2-player Edited January 9, 2021 by NESfiend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll revise my list and just put it in bottom 10 instead of 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive never played it, but assume thats a big one to check off the list this early. Next time I pop in my local shop, I'll pick up a copy and check it out.

Well, you're the Koei expert here. I guess it's different from the other Koei games because it's not really a different scenario? You're just selecting a number like innings in a baseball game, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red | 437 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Well, my beat a new NES game everyday for as long as I can attempt ended yesterday. I started playing Silk Worm, but was having trouble with the last stage. I decided to put it aside and try an easier looking game, Rollergames. It was harder than I was expecting (due to the horrendous platforming) and I was unable to beat it before the end of the day. I finished it up this morning though, so Rollergames is done. I'll give Silk Worm another try later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
