Please post any tips you may have - best tip gets 1 bonus point! And if anyone has a link to the manual, please post it. Note: Only scores achieved by playing a new game, from the beginning, will count - no continues. A few special rules: there are a few glitches in the game; please do not exploit them (they don't seem like things you would do by accident, so if you don't know what they are don't worry about them).

Lauren Tyler Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 (edited) This isn't such a bad game, except for the tune that plays when you're about to die. It almost sounds like a musical version of being taunted about being about to die. (In case you didn't figure it out, my score is in white ) Edited January 30, 2007 by LarcenTyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdub_bobby Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 (edited) 37,875 I love this game, but without the (unlimited) continues it would be insanely difficult. Edited January 30, 2007 by vdub_bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalSlime23 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 47,715 Only my first try. I guess being good at the second Wizards and Warriors has made this game a little easier than I thought it would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalSlime23 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 New score and the furthest I've ever gotten in this game: 87,820 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 112,935. I used to be able to clear the second stage on my first continue. As you can imagine, I was quite good at this game back then. I did use a FAQ to jog my memory this time around. Is that allowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vdub_bobby Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 rjchamp3 sent me a PM with a screenshot; his latest score is: 292,720. Apparently his posts are being held pending moderator approval... I can repost his screenshot if anyone wants, assuming it doesn't show up here eventually.

shadow460 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hey, you've got the cloak of invisibility there. I prefer the Staff of Power, and its timing is what I am having trouble getting used to again. The timing is: Hit B and Select simultaneously, then press and hold B to throw the second axe across the screen. Tap Select during this whole time to fire the Staff repeatedly. Does the cloak really work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjchamp3 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 The cloak does not work it makes the game worse, I really want t max this out but I don't know at this pont if I can. I know I will someday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdub_bobby Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 I've played and beaten this game many, many times, and I have *never* seen the CoI do anydamnthing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdub_bobby Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 Aaaaaaaand...we're done. Sadly, I couldn't find/get a copy of W&W to play on my NES and so I wasn't able to put in any real time on this. But kudos to those of you who did! Great scores!

shadow460 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 The cloak does not work it makes the game worse, I really want t max this out but I don't know at this pont if I can. I know I will someday I'm getting better, and I can see myself beating it without having to continue. If I can do that, you can too. @Bobby: You're missing out. Get yourself a copy and play! Did you guys hit select to make the cloak work, or just walk around wearing it? It does seems to work a little, but I'll take the Staff of Power any day. My order of preference is: Staff of Power Wand of Wonder (it may be weak, but it will give you some breathing room) Boots of Force Cloak of Darkness Horn Boots of Lava Walk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vdub_bobby Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 93755 Nice score! We are done playing W&W competitively, however, so that score won't count in the standings - we are playing Contra now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
