JagChris Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I never thought I'd get any fun out of the choppy mess that is Hard Drivin' but yeah once you get the hang of it it's ok-ish. On-Duty, I must be missing something because I can't see a score display anywhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 Maybe the way to go with On Duty is just the farthest level you can get to? Thoughts @karri? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagChris Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 53214. I can't believe I'm enjoying this chunky mess. If it wasn't for the HSC I probably wouldn't have ever messed with this much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but on the pacifist mode There is two ways to play On Duty. One is to kill enemies. If you do it your score is one colour. For the levels you have completed without killing anyone it will be another colour. If you manage to get through the game without killing anyone you get god-powers and can go back to any level with new skills like - unlimited ammo, stealth, invulnerable. In some levels you have to think outside the box of how to solve the level without killing anyone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 On Duty - level 8 completed pacifist. (We really need screenshots of every level to prove it) I always meant to try it pacifist mode but I forgot there was an awesome reward for doing it! I am really stuck on level 9, though. I just can’t seem to get past the enemies without them catching me, and there is so little room to maneuver… @karri, any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Ha!! Mission 9 completed. After I thought about the chewing out I got for beating it the explosive way… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 All missions completed pacifist except for one… it never seems to end? Putting the rest of the screenshots in spoilers so I don’t ruin any surprises… Spoiler And on the other path… So 17 total, I guess? T-t-t-t-that‘s all, folks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Wow! So you found both paths! Pretty cool. I have a lot of plans for the rebel-path with characters wading in the sewer system and climbing through office buildings. But they never materialized - sigh... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I let it run without shooting for a long time, and shot a lot of ducks… I don’t seem to have gotten any special powers after clearing everything, unless that was a joke… Also, the inventory display glitched at some point and has never reset even with a power down: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Hard Drivin’ - 78157! Automatic transmission is absolutely unusable. You have to play with manual. I think automatic is bugged somehow. Also, when navigating curves, do not accelerate while turning. Turn then tap then turn then tap. All that said, I cannot do the stunt track at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By pressing Opt 1 you toggle on different modes. I don't remember exactly without looking at the code. But you get some 007 style graphics on top. The '7' character toggles ammunition, detection and vulnerability. If they are all at 7 then the enemies will not see you, you don't get damage when they shoot you, and ammo does not decrease. About the glitch you may need to reset the eeprom by pressing Opt1 and Opt2 at the same time. I wonder if I should fix the bugs and write the missing missions.. The sources are still on my laptop. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it randomly select which track you do for the raceoff? I swear I got the speed track in the raceoff once but then the last couple times I got the stunt track.
