jblenkle Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Dracula - 300 Never played this one before...I briefly read the instructions, but it might take awhile to figure it out on emulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Below are my entries, for the first two games I played: 950 Points 2,350 Points W00t! I get to briefly bask in the top score sun! I like this game a lot, but my hand is killing me after the third night. And my wife refuses to help me control the zombies. -dZ.

jblenkle Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 That's one thing I've got to figure out...how do you turn someone into a zombie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Oh I was just joking about asking my wife for help. I was playing by myself. You do need the second controller to move the zombies, though. Edited September 17, 2012 by cparsley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) That's one thing I've got to figure out...how do you turn someone into a zombie? The bottom-right Action Button. It turns the person you bite into a zombie for 10 seconds. You can control the zombie with the second controller to kill policemen. The trick is that you also need to move your Dracula to keep them both on screen. That's the only way to get rid if policemen. Otherwise, when you bite them, they just freeze temporarily. Or just run around and try to avoid the stakes. dZ Edited September 17, 2012 by DZ-Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DZ-Jay Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 9,900 Points - 10th or 11th night! w00t! I've enclosed the screenshot below. I've gotten the hang of my fangs now. I only die because the stupid vulture takes me off screen, and my thumb is too sore to release bat-hood quick enough. -dZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 OK, I'm having some problems using the Bliss emulator. It was working OK, but then I lost my controller configuration somehow. In the settings, it has: Left JoyPad Right JoyPad Hand Controller #1 Hand Controller #2 Which one is used to control this game? I've been trying to remap the buttons on my PCs joystick, but for some reason the settings don't stay in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use Bliss, but the game uses the following controls: Hand Controller #1: Dracula - top action buttons: change shape (bat/Dracula) - bottom left action button: bite - bottom right action button: bite/turn zombie Hand Controller #2: Zombie To start the game: Press 1: one player Press 5: medium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Thanks...I'll keep fiddling with it, but I just downloaded Nostalgia and it seems to work a lot better. Took my controller configuration right away. Just did a new high score for me...

jblenkle Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I think it was because I was near them...if I move away, that's what they tended to do...run the other way... Wow!

IntellivisionDude Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) You can almost play forever on medium difficulty. I only quit when i broke my personal best and my hands couldn't take the pain anymore. This game is extremely brutal on the hands. This is one game where i cannot defend the controllers. I almost quit at 5,000 because my hand was hurting so bad. But i found a routine that hurt less. I pretty much only go left and position my left hand so i can press the bottom button on the left side. The only time you can get yourself in trouble is going after the bonus and getting every victim. But in later levels it's just about impossible to get them all. So after about 3 laps through the city going left i end up back at the cemetery almost right at the same moment the sky turns. 23,050 Edited September 20, 2012 by IntellivisionDude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionDude Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 And it's not worth it turning them into zombies and chasing the constible, you are only wasting time. The bonus is more important. Gotta get as many of them as possible before you can't get them anymore. But it is fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just stay close to the cemetery and go back and forth between the first few blocks to the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LidLikesIntellivision Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (...) Congrads on the new lil' Liduario.... Liduario... Is it a boy? Yes, he's a boy we both are Liduário and his fisrt name begins with A too: Arthur. He seems to be very calm (like me), doesn't cry that often and likes to sleep at night . Fortunately I can spend much time with him now that I'm in holidays. Thank you for the words and for asking, Alexandre Liduário 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
