Florida, USAThis is for the original game and not the Rom Hack version. I was going to open a Special Edition Board but never got around to it.
Yeah, the mashing isn't too hard on keyboard or controller. It just takes some getting used to. As for turning around, I think while holding right, you quickly press left, then hold down and you're good to go.
Dart Gun is your best bet or you can simply turn around and ride backwards the entire time without shooting a single bullet. As long as the timing is right, he won't eat you.
That comment seems passive-aggressive and unnecessary. Let's keep it professional. Thanks.
Good stuff and for sure! I plan on adding this to my 5 submissions until they hopefully accept it!
Not only is it a great speedrun but an awesome casual game as well. The music, unique island setup and that creepy ass Raptor cave. Definitely one of the best JP games for sure!
Decided to put it back. No need to spread it all out. Thanks for your opinions on this matter.
In this case it makes much more sense since every port has at least one or more runs on the board while flashback really only showed attention for Genesis and SNES in the last 3 years since I opened the board.
I do it for Another World so I feel ya. Also does Prince of Persia have 80 ports of this game like Flashback? :b Like I said, the board has been up for years and Genesis and SNES are the only two ports that actually showed some numbers.
Ya, in the end It's a lot of clutter. I'm even working on separating Another World because that game has just as many ports.
Not only did I get sub 18 but Ustra did as well. I'm hoping I can get this into the next GDQ event to show off the new optimized route we worked so hard for. I should have submitted it this time around, but there's always next time :D
tbh I requested this game will be changed to Flashback (Sega/SNES) Once that happens this will be a board for Genesis/Sega CD & SNES. I mainly run those ports when it comes to other games and have the most knowledge of those consoles. If anyone wants to open a new board for other ports, Be my guest. From what I gathered since I opened the boards. It seems Genesis and SNES has the most activity overall.
oh cool, it's the guy that randomly comments on the thread and doesn't even run the game :D
Thanks for posting this? Honestly? Another World and Flashback has way to many Fackin ports, It's hard to keep up.
Correct. It's basically a lottery. I always try to get it first or 2nd try. Fun times (:
No problem :D Rules have been updated recently. • All runs must be visibly reset before a run. [effective as of March 2022].
As of right now it's Any% and the only official ports that have wall glitch is Genesis and Amiga.
Awesome! I'll go ahead and start cleaning up the place. Thanks again Ed!
After doing some testing while running this game again for the past two months unfortunately this is another one of those Genesis games that should be separated due to time differences for emulator and console. It really comes down to the game imo and the amount of lag and load time it suffers at this point, The game has become pretty optimized so any time loss on console will ruin a potential PB. SandbagX says overall there's about a 5-6 second difference between console and emu for Easy so I can only imagine more for Normal and Hard because the enemies don't die in one hit which means more on screen = more lag. I'll post the demo comparison video for you all to see below to give you a general idea of what I'm talking about. Also I don't mind modding. I can do some clean up work. Update the rules a bit more. It's also a good look when another runner approves your runs rather than having to do it yourself. To be honest, I'm really surprised that Moonwalker (Genesis) isn't a separate leaderboard since these are all completely different games rather than just ports that are almost identical. I have no experience with the other games since I only played them for fun casually so I'd only help with the Genesis department for now. Anyways here's the comparison video :)
