Hello,

This game has a 2nd Loop after which you reach the true Game Over. I was wondering if we could get a 2 Loop subcategory for Arcade?

Video of a run my arcade partner and I did of the 2 Loop:

Thank you!

Hello all,

DoritoBreath's run showed that the Atari version has a small quirk that I dont think is in the Arcade version. Namely: It is possible to hit the point limit in such a way that the point total is not immediately on the screen (at the end of a level warp)

For the purposes of clarity and ease of review, the rule on this is going to be that timer ends when the Score Total is visible on screen. If you find a way to get 50k sooner than the end of level warp, more the better on the timesave. I am looking frame by frame, so I will take the time of the first frame the total is visible.

If people disagree with this, please chime in.

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to give other runners a heads up on this game about a technical issue. The only emulator that is emulating this game (to my knowledge) is TeknoParrot. Unfortunately the game speed runs in line with the frame limit of the monitor. I bet you can see where this is going:

If you are going to play this game you need to set your monitor refresh rate to 60 HZ

If you do not do this the game will run at bizarre fast speed. Not only that but the end game timer which is used for IGT counts either faster, or at the correct pace for the faster frame rate (not sure which it is really), but either way it makes beating any records almost impossible.

An example of a flawed run with 144 HZ refresh rate is here:

According to guides:

"Before the start of a race, pull both throttles fully back to MIN. At the very moment Fode & Beed (announcer) shout "GO", slam both levers fully forward to MAX! When done successfully the screen blurs and your pod flies off the starting line, accelerating rapidly."

However, I have been unable to determine a set of button combinations in Demul to accomplish this. If anyone in the community figures it out, it would be a great help to getting faster times!

Hello Boss,

Played through this one last night and was horrified to see myself +10 mins behind your record! When I looked closer it seems like the map of the missions indicates different tiers of ending:

You can tap out at 4, 5, or 6 missions, and I had done a 6 missioner. Today HighWarlordJC and I did a 4 mission finish and it had a different ending.

I was wondering if you thought it might be a good idea to put in 4, 5, 6 mission sub-categories for this?

Thank you for taking a look.

This game seems to be an overlap of https://www.speedrun.com/sagaia_ac_ver2 or is there a difference?

Thank you

So the wiki and various youtube videos indicate there are two other racers: Gasgano and Ben Quadinaros.

However in attempting to emulate with Demul Ive been unable to determine how to utilize them. If anyone figures it out or knows the answer, please comment here!

Hello,

I recently did a run of the Arcade version of this game () and couldnt help but notice the game is VERY different from the XBox and PS versions of the game.

Would it be possible to have platform specific subcategories?

Thank you

Hawaii, USAEllimist1 year ago

Hello Boss

Would it be possible to get subcategories for the 3 game modes?

Practice, Normal, Special ?

Have a run to submit with all 3.

Thank you

Howdy Boss,

When you have a moment can you set 2P category for 2 Players?

Have a run to submit :)

Thank you!

Hello all,

This game is a LaserDisc game which was basically an entire game programmed into a DVD using menus and logic to have a gameplay experience.

As far as I could figure out, Singe is the only Emulator currently emulating these games correctly. You can get the game running with a combination of the following 2 URLS:

https://skunkworks.kangaroopunch.com/skunkworks/singe/-/wikis/Installation---With-Pictures!

https://kangaroopunch.com/software/singe

If you are interested in running the game, but having some issues, please reach out here or direct message and I will do my best to help.

Good running folks

Hello Boss

Was wondering if you could fix the 2P categories for 2 Players when you have a moment?

Thank you!

Hello

I was wondering if it would be able to add a 2P category to the game?

Typically the 2P mode is a VS mode, but on a few puzzle games me and my arcade partner have been playing them as "combined point" co-op speedrunning experiences. Interestingly this game in Arcade does not reset points when one player achieves victory, allowing any amount of combined point total for the categories.

Proposing a 2,000,000 and 5,000,000 combined point subcategories.

We have performed a sample run here:

Appreciate any community input, I really enjoyed this game and playing this way with my friend.

Hello all,

There were no moderators on the game, so I requested to take it over.

I have changed the categories up a little to be more organized. I also updated all older runs to the new categories.

Also I have removed some rules that I really disagreed with, namely:

  • No emulators allowed
  • For 1st Place you must have hand cam

If there is community desire I will separate Emulated and Non Emulated into different categories.

Hello Boss

I was wondering if I could request 1 and 2 Loop subcategories?

Have a 2P 2 Loop run to submit

Thank you!

Howdy Bosscat, sorry to back knocking on your door twice in two days. Had a question about this game.

Was looking at this game and it seems to be a ROM Clone of Arcadia (https://www.speedrun.com/arcadia?h=1P&x=n2ymr672) licensed to Media Trading

Is there anything about this game to differentiate it from Arcadia?

Thank you
