+therealbountybob Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 BRUCE LEE, RETURN OF FURY & EEL ECURB At last Bruce wins the poll, looking forward to playing the 2 bonus games too. Please post any links with more info on these Posted this from last time we played back in HSC10: If you have two sticks then someone else can control the Green Yamo and you can have some ninja bashing fun! The game is mainly a platformer though. There are a couple of bugs where you can get stuck falling onto the baddie to loop the scoreboard. Only collect 1 extra life (On the first round of screens only: if you have less than three you can collect more so you have three lives in total) Scoring based on progress 2pts for getting underground 3pts for reaching the red screens 4pts for getting back out (moaning beastie) 5pts for getting to the screen with the three pods 6pts for completing all three pods on the purple screen and getting to the light blue screen +3pts bonus for anyone completing the game +3pts bonus for anyone completing the game twice - it's more difficult the 2nd run through.

McKong Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) Ok first go, not played this since we last played in HSC. I got to the screen with the tower, three from the end http://www.digitpress.com/library/maps/atari8bit/brucelee.png Edited April 13, 2023 by McKong 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible kid Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 First time checking out the updated versions. Really digging Return of Fury. Love the gr.0/gr.8 moon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Bruce Lee - made it to the first grey room (row 2, column 4 on the map linked by McKong). I suppose I was one room short of the three pods. While I didn't expect Zorro to kick his way around, I expected that game to be closer to Bruce Lee in size than the puzzle game it turned out to be. Even Conan and the Goonies seem like bigger. I suppose the fact all four games have graphics by Kelly Day make them appear similar, though I realize there were different programmers behind: Ron J. Fortier, James Garon and Scott Spanburg/Robert Mirsky. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graywest Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Bruce Lee: Completed the first loop, didn't pick up any extra lives, got to the three pods on the second loop before game over. The ninja and green yamo are so aggressive the second time through - if you get trapped in a corner (where you can't duck) you're done for. Eel Ecurb: Only got a few screens into this one (I died on the screen with the four levels of electric floors). I thought this would be easier since I know my way around the original game, but I was wrong. 🙂 I wasn't aware of this version of the game - it's a clever idea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tompateus Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) Cleared the game once and died at the room with 4 electric floors. 123525 pts. With minimum ninja/sumo bashing Edited April 16, 2023 by tompateus 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdrunner Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Finished Return of Fury. Really nice arrangement of the original set pieces. Some crazy new puzzle rooms too! Curiously, this game does not restart at the beginning when you beat it. I let the (cool) ending music play for several minutes and nothing happened, Bruce would throw a punch if I pressed the fire button, but he otherwise wouldn't move. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKong Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Completed ROF. Very good, just about challenging enough in normal mode. I just tried with roaming enemies enabled and it makes some of the screens slightly more tricky. I'll try it again when I get time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 You guys will have to help me out with who is ahead of who but we can do it all near the end of the round! I've just downloaded the games to floppies but not played yet! Any thoughts for the next poll will put this on in the next day or two, I have some ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimo Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) Currently loading on cassette on my repaired 1200xl. I rember we used to start the load when we left for school in the morning and hope the cassette load hadn't failed when we got home in the afternoon. Happy days Managed to get underground on my first attempt so 2pts I guess. Forgot how bad I am at this game Edited April 20, 2023 by mimo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marius Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 This is not my most favorite game. But, together with DInky it is also nice to play. This result was on my own. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
