8BIT 1337 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 FYI for anyone playing on real hardware: the Fandal version didn't work for me but the Homesoft one did. NTSC 1200XL. I have never played this before so of course I had no idea what I was doing at first. This is why I love HSC - experiencing an old game for the first time, as there are so many I never played! Anyway there will be many more tries ahead hopefully, but after one game: Learner, 1756 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Lone Raider - 1708 pts (Learner) The game reminds me a bit of Biscuits from Hell. I'll probably play a bit more later, though I'm not sure this is my type of game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince of Persia in particular blew me away, and I have to admit I'm very much biased against newer games. I actually tried PoP on both my NES and SNES and preferred the the version we played. Maybe because it was the first version of PoP I ever played Trooper, 4889 I noticed that the Fandal site mentions disabling SIO in an emulator. I played this on my PS Vita with the same file I got working on my 1200XL and didn't have to disable anything. Another great thing this community has shown me this year: that Homesoft site's games never fail to work for me!

Major failure Trooper 6,730 Players probably have twigged but the first maze screen you need to get all the dots to complete it but the 2nd one you can exit by the bottom door at any time, though if you do get all the dots you repeat this screen and can boost your scores, but as we are playing for rank (level) first you might want to race through the game but to beat the HSC record there's a good bit of point collecting required me thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
