+johnnywc Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 I too was disappointed in EA - when people said it was 90% done I thought it would at least be fully functional. Not being able to jump properly (hanging in the air), the elevator that never comes (although now we now it does, it just takes a LOOOOONG time) and the lack of sound make this game only about 70% done. 90% in my book means it's in the final phase of tweaking/gameplay. Anyway, I think that saying Snow White is 30% done may be a little conservative - I would put it more about 50%. I'd rather be suprised playing a game I ponyed up 45 bucks for and say -"Hey, this isn't 30% done - it's more like 50%!!! Alright!" than what happened with EA. FYI Goochman - as I eluded to before - you can complete the first (and every other building) in EA. Just wait and that elevator WILL come - I promise!!

Goochman Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 So are you saying you can finish the 1st bldg????? If so I may have to blow the dust off EA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 So are you saying you can finish the 1st bldg????? If so I may have to blow the dust off EA! If you are in the 'death animation', and not on an elevator, just jump up and you won't lose the life. I've complete about 4 buildings before I got bored.

Tempest Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 There are four different colored buildings then they repeat. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Ok Im confused.....I got to the bottom but never found an elevator to take me to the car - It appears that I am not waiting long enough for th efinal elevator??

I dont understand the 'death' animation suggestion above? After you get hit by a bullet, and your character dies, before he disappears, jump and you will not lose your life...

Tempest Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 The last few elevators take FOREVER to come. You'll know when your at the bottom because it's got a checker board type pattern. Also you need to get all the secret documents from behind the red doors. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 I got Elevator Action at last years CGE and was disaapointed to find out you cant finish the first building Uhh, yeah you can. I've beaten the first several buildings. Mitch http://atari7800.atari.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Stilphen Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 I've rolled the score. There are 4 different-colored buildings: blue, dark blue, orange, and green. The pattern keeps repeating, and the layout is the same for every building (including location of documents). Lights (blocks on ceiling near center elevator shaft) can be shot out to create temporary darkness. Documents are worth 500 points each. Completing 1st building is worth 1,000 points, and goes up 1,000 points for each subsequent building. (up to?) A free agent is rewarded for completing a building (how many can be in reserve?).

Goochman Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Well from the sounds of it EA is exactly what I thought I was paying for - I'll crank this one up this weekend see if I can get past the bldg - thats for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Someone know, what I must do in the third screen from Snow White? I can only walk left and right, and do nothing. The witch will always before me by Snow White. What must I do there, or is this the end of the game? Was no more to play? @ Thomas, only walk down, has nothing to do to reach the second screen. You must do something, to reach the second screen. The second screen was hard, but now I know, what you must do. But it seems, that you can't do anything in the third screen.

Marc Oberhäuser Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 @Matthias As I stated in the manual: "The game ends definitively on screen three. There is no way to beat this scene. (Figure 3)" Nothing more to say:) Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
