I now realize why I was never able to beat that game as a kid...wow.

Hey! Waitaminute! How'd that snake pass right thru him at the 23 second mark?!?!?

Thanks a bunch BJK; just downloaded it!!

 

BTW, do your controllers work on an Atari 2600? I think I've settled on getting a 2600 Jr. -Dave

Hmmm - I'm guessing this must be on an emu, 'cause the teesee flies went right thru him 'round the 5:50 mark... still tho', enjoying it muchly.

Very cool - just finished watching it - brought back some fond old memories.

Curious tho - he waits a full FOUR minutes for the Sun to appear in the map room (5:15-9:15)... Did it always take THAT LONG? I don't remember it being that long.

I forgot to post the original thread to this also.

It was Cupcakus who made the video and played the game. I also have gotten a perfect score with the initials, but never taped it.

Nope. The sun works pretty much the same way that the timepiece works. So if you plan a bit, you'll have a shorter wait.

He's using the flute (waste of time buying that IMO).

That protects you from both.

 

The player could have saved some time by having the ankh situated below the hourglass and chai (in that order). The inventory I use is hourglass-chai-ankh plus 2 bags of gold and the headpiece (just don't drop the whip until you get the 3 treasures...then go back for the gold so you won't need to use the escape hole). Just carry a lot of junk there so you can get them in the right order. From the first market, travel to the large mesa using the hourglass. Drop it, and then drop the chai when falling to reveal the Yar. Instantly, press the action button to use the ankh (the cursor is automatically on it if you use the above order)...teleporting you back to the mesa top...then continue downward to the black market. Once there, you can get the shovel...and get the key you need from the basket. Take it to the map room...yada yada. The downside is that you'll need to go North to get the whip again (but the snake there is easily avoided by using diagonal movement when crossing the border).

BTW there's a quicker method involving pressing the button while the hourglass' hook is in the "sky" area surrounding the center mesa. You'll begin to fall...so quickly select the chai and drop it, then press the button to use the ankh. This way, you'll still have the hourglass to get to the ark's mesa once you visited the black market (to get the shovel and key) and map room.

 

Does it work? I dunno. I can't move that fast

[Nukey Shay]

Aaaa...I forgot. No parachute! Gotta go back to the temple. No way around it.

Thanks Nukey - forgot about the flute thing... guess its been too long since I've played. I'll fire it up this weekend.
