doctor_shred Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 33,870 I forgot about the "enter a name bug" in this game. If you try to enter anything in the high score table it locks up requiring a hard reboot. If you just select "end" it takes you to the high scores table and your name is blank.

+CyranoJ Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I did fix this. If you contact Piko they might send you a fixed ROM (Note: NOT a cart) On a side note, it doesn't hard lock, it just doesn't refresh the screen. If you can move the cursor (invisibly) to the OK button you can carry on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 Thats no big deal; i can live with that. There is no bug in the actual game that prevents you from beating it right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor_shred Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 @CyranoJ Thanks for the info. I didn't realise there was another way of getting off the enter a name screen once the cursor vanished. I'll give that a try. Like Rick, it doesn't bother me now I've remembered it's there. Just hit end and get on with the next game The only reason I mentioned it here was in case someone lost out on recording a score as, like me, they'd forgotten about it. Great game BTW. I'm looking forward to sinking some time into this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper_Eye Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Two things that help 1) If you have full health when you fall into the hole at the beginning you can break some bricks to the left and recover your health. There is one heart along the way to the fall to recover your health before falling. If the last enemy before the hole hurts you at all you will lose your first life when you fall. 2) Memorize where the spike traps are. They eat up a lot of health and there's no way to know that they are outside of stepping on them. At least there is no indication that I can tell.

doctor_shred Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 36,150 I managed to get past the first boss but I feel I'm only scratching the surface of this game. I need to put some serious time into this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper_Eye Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I am enjoying this game. There are two things that are really annoying though. 1) Fireballs are the worst. Ok they keep going until they hit a wall and they hit all enemies they pass by. Great. The problem is enemies are usually up in your face and you can't attack again while the fireball is still on screen. Terrible weapon. Throwing knives are excellent. 2) I wish there was a way to jump off a ladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 For some reason, this cart did not want to run on my jaguar. I had to clean it serveral times but finally got it running. 21,300 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
