Mindfield Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 By stages do you mean screens, or entirely different levels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Some possibilities that come to mind... Gorf... Phoenix... Vanguard. Of course, if you consider River Raid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candiru Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Back in the day E.T. caused a lot of folks to suffer the stages of denial, bargaining, anger, despair, and finally 2 decades later it's finding some acceptance. That question leaves a lot of interpretation so here are some of the things that come to mind for me. Activision Decathlon or any of the Epyx sports games have lots of different things to do. Porky's also has some pretty distinct stages. Dark Chambers also has several levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveW Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Escape From The Mindmaster has six totally unique stages. There's something like 100+ screens in Survival Island, and there's also the 3D level and the ocean level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cootster Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 How many levels are there in River Raid before you get back to the much harder level 1? 20? 24? I know I've done it a few times, but never kept track . . . And doesn't Crazy Valet have like 400 patterns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattG/Snyper2099 Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Raiders of the lost ark had quite a few screens. Sothing like 12 or 13 IIRC. They were all very different too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Yancey Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 H.E.R.O. has 20 levels with many screens on each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 5 Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Tunnel Runner had a ton of levels with different mazes and inceasing difficulty (to the point where the maze turned invisible). Same 'screen' though, just different colors and mazes. Although, the same could be said of Q-Bert I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
128bytes Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 The Epyx trio of Summer Games, Winter Games, and California Games each have multiple stages... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cootster Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 H.E.R.O. has 20 levels with many screens on each. 17. After that it's random. So really, it has an infinite number of levels . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn! You make it sound like people went though Elizabeth Kübler-Ross 5 stages of grieving! DENIAL AND ISOLATION - "NO, NOT ME, IT CANNOT BE TRUE." ANGER - "WHY ME.". BARGAINING - "YES ME ... BUT" DEPRESSION - "YES ME." ACCEPTANCE - "IT'S OKAY." Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Yancey Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 17. After that it's random. So really, it has an infinite number of levels . . Have you ever gotten past level 17 to see what's there? Levels 18-20 are very tough. After level 20, it is "random". It randomly selects your next level from levels 13-20 and you play that selection next. If you play game 5, levels go "random" after level 17 is cleared. Maybe this is where the confusion came from. But, there really are exactly 20 distinct levels. There is nothing random about the playfield on each level, just the selection of the level number to be played next(13-20). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Fathom has just an insane amount of screens, each level grows exponentially up and down and left and right. it also has many different levels. turmoil has lots of stages and space master x-7 never seems to repeat stages, it just keeps getting harder and ive been in the 20-30 stage range myself.

NE146 Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 2600 Crystal Castles! I once thought I had seen all the stages there were... but there is one stage that you only see when you hit the higher levels after some time. CC definitely has a nice variation of stages... anyone know exactly how many? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio F Software Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 The prototype "Telepathy" has a few levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I've done it a few times, but never kept track . . . And doesn't Crazy Valet have like 400 patterns? I think it's a 15-bit polynomial which would mean 32K, but I think it moves the polynomial forward more than once per level. Still, I doubt that anyone can play for that long.

Cybergoth Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Hi there! And doesn't Crazy Valet have like 400 patterns? I think that is a '0' too many. But it probably was rereleased in 400 different "editions"... Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 iirc 2600 cc has ~ 15 diff screens. pretty impressive imho, esp since they have a 3d slant to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
