Just want it to be known here that we would accept other versions of Gain Ground to be here on this board. I can verify Genesis and Arcade runs however if someone was to post SMS, PS2 and/or TG16CD then we'd ask them to join as a moderator to be able to verify other runners of said platform(s).
The main categories would be the name of the platform while subcategories could be used for difficulty akin to current Genesis runs. The categories will only be added once a runner approaches to avoid a clutterred and empty board.
Of course this is open to discussion, you can contact me directly here on site or on discord.
theres a version from master system that is way different, like another game, and i wanted to start running it, but its very difficult to understand the versions, etc, even wikipedia dont have much of it.... but i think it would be better if a series game was created and divide into; this one which was released by a bunch of consoles after /gain ground (master system) / and the original one which is the arcade version (it plays different also, with better graphics)
Arcade: Master System:
makes more sense creating a game series, i could manage that without problems
Hello everybody ! Im posting here because I tried to run the SMS version and did a decent time 16m49. (I need to upload the video first.) But how can I do if I want to record the run here ?
I can add SMS as a category on this game page, I'll try to do that as soon as possible.
posted 2 runs to check. One of 16m49. But I found a new way and I have a 12m55 pb now. This route is the most optimised way I can find to finish the game as fast as possible. But if you have any idea Im open to discuss it with you
I had good results with the PS2 version using "4-8bug - off" so I would like to post it, but would it be possible for you to create a category for it?
Yes, I can add PS2 categories, as I haven't played the game; which sub-categories should there be for the game in your opinion?
Thank you for your reply.
I don't think it will affect the time much except for the “Bug 4-8” item in the in-game options.
I think it would be fine if you create only a subcategory of “Bug 4-8 : OFF”.
I agree that PS2's main category should allow one to turn the 4-8 Bug off. Also, GokuGoku's runs use Normal difficulty and the 120 second timer setting, which are faithful to the original arcade mode. I feel these two qualifications should also be added to the category as rules.
As a future-proofing note, the game also has an "Extra Mode", unlocked after beating the game on the standard settings (120 timer, normal difficulty). It alters the physics of the characters and enemies, and adds a new, unique final boss. If anyone ever does a run in this mode, it should be treated as its own category like how we currently treat Genesis Easy/Normal/Hard.
Extra Mode Final Boss, for anyone who wants to see a boss more nuts than the SMS final boss' difficulty spike:
It's been years since my interest in this game but I love the PS2 action, keep it up guys! <3
