The workers are gathering the same resources you are, only they use them to build Sinistar while you use them to build sinibombs.

You can slow down Sinistar's construction by destroying workers/denying them resources or bombing the partially-constructed Sinistar.

You need to land 13 sinibombs to destroy him once the workers finish constructing him. They can and will repair him mid-fight given the chance, requiring you use even more bombs.

The game keeps looping through 4 different zones each time you destroy Sinistar.

>>782841
>I assume it loops until a kill screen

No known kill screen.

Mind you there could be one and nobody has ever reached it. I don't think anyone has actually examined the game's code to find out that way.

I always wanted to beat those awesome Lucasarts platformers on the SNES, mostly Indiana Jones and Super Star Wars.

I was a terrible player at the time, and never could get much far. In fact, this happened with pretty much every game I rented.

Terror from the Deep

I gave up after failing some ridiculously huge multi-part mission because an alien was stuck inside a wall.

But I completed the original XCOM several times, and TFTD is just a shitty official hack with more bugs and less fun, so I don't think I'll waste my time on it again.

I keep coming back to that game every few years, thinking, "it couldn't have been THAT bad."

But it is. Probably the most tedious game I've ever forced myself to play. Huge multi-part shipping lane missions, alien base missions and artefact sites take hours each and there's just no end to them. And don't even think about skipping one of them, you have to go through each of them from start to finish every single time or your score will plummet and the aliens will win.

>an alien was stuck inside a wall
That's the same reason I quit last time. I spent two hours scouring every inch of every room in an alien base only to find nothing and had to abort the mission.

It's a shame because I quite like the shamelessly Lovecraftian atmosphere.

I've seem this title mentioned here, so I KNOW some of you have played it.

This game right here. Oh my GOD. It is FILLED with noob traps. Not just one or two. Not things you learn to do/avoid over time. Noob traps that are random as FUCK. (Ex: Penguins spawning behind you and jettisoning in to you at exact points in time, Rolling rocks that spawn right infront of you on upward slopes, bullshit like this.)

How many of you ACTUALLY beat it back in the day? Did anyone actually learn every single one of these traps and when they would happen so that they could get through these 8 stages of hell?

[Anonymous No.783683]

>>783580
Better graphics though.

>>783608
Are you trying to kill everything? Just destroy the devices and leave.

The first part of the base and the artefact sites take 10 minutes or less if you just blow everything up with DPLs. For artefact sites, go in with a hovertank, blast the shit out of the hallucinoids, blow up the device and then gtfo.

Same thing with the Alien base, although you'll have to capture a lobsterman commander at one point or another.


The ships are a little too big, though.

It makes me feel like a superstar to hear someone have a problem with this game, since it's an annual ritual of mine to beat it.

Then again, I didn't beat Zelda 2 until last month, so that counters that. Still have to get around to Kid Icarus, though I might have actually beaten that when I was a kid. Part of of me thinks that was just a wonderful dream.

I actually finished it a couple of times, but got a bad end on every single one of them.

As it turns out the game has like 20 ending variations, all of fucking 4 of which don't tell you "yeah, all you did was completely useless and you lose. Game over, motherfucker".

It's a great game, massively underrated (much like the show), but Jesus fuck, the programmers were dicks.

Beating Nethack is not important. You could spend the rest of your life playing Nethack in vein and it would not be a wasted life.

Haven't played it in two years after a year and a half of playing. Picked it up again three days ago, refreshed my memory on the key bindings, and it's like I never left; I'm now storming Fort Ludios with a valkyrie. What an amazing game. It literally has infinite replayability.

I grew up with the NES, so there's a lot of games I haven't beat.

Yes, I recently went back and finished Bioforge. Let me tell you something, time has not been kind with those game who had 3D environments with fixed cameras, the controls alone almost made me give up after an hour. It's the same with Grim Fandango - try playing it today, the parts where you control the car in the forest are just awful.
Then again the writing and atmosphere and graphics design in Bioforge are really good and still captivating.

I had to do that for both Blaster Master and Milon's Secret Castle.

And despite that, this game has as much slowdown as your entry level SNES game does.

Mostly because when I was little I spent most of my time outside and my game liked to periodically wipe my data, but also because I think I stopped caring about winning and had more fun just immersing myself in the world and imagining myself as Link on an adventure.

What am I supposed to be looking at? All I see are quick turns of very thin "roads", which is a way to work around that. The loopdeloops chew up so much VRAM because of how big and detailed they are. These on the other hand don't because they're much smaller, but serve the same purpose.

I feel I'm pretty secure in saying Welcome to the Machine is one of the most frustratingly difficult levels I've ever seen. The way the level scrolls at seemingly random angles from time to time and last so long is just cruel.

I had the first Super Star Wars, and I managed to beat it even at Jedi difficulty. Turns out my main tactic was "never die until the Tie fighter section, spam the plasma gun since it slows the game".
Sometimes being a bored child with an old console has its upsides. Are the sequels more difficult? I'm thinking to try them too.

Interview with the creator:

Sef: If you had to pick one stage you enjoyed creating the most, which one would it be and why?

Ed: Welcome to the Machine
It was just surreal and way over the top challenging.

There were a few pain in the ass missions that prevented me from beating it when I was little, but finally finishing it years later was so rewarding. Especially with the little choice you're given in the Nod ending.

Reminds me of this:

http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/ninjagaiden/ninjagaiden9.htm

>Ninja Ryuukenden 1 is (in)famous for its extreme difficulty. Especially after losing against the last boss, and having to start at the beginning of the whole chapter, a lot of gamers were faced with despair. At that time, was it your conscious aim to create such a hard game?

>Mr. Yoshizawa directed the action part for the first game, but that was actually something a programmer had implemented this way accidentally. However, it wasn't tried to fix it. They were like "hey, that's not bad, either". *laughs

The time limit, actually, is not that constrictive. You just have to make few errors.

Last time I tried, I finished it with around 10-15 minutes left.

Same game as OP, after beating pic related you had to tap the reset button on your genesis but when I was younger I thought it meant find a reset computer in the game and I never made it past that part. There was no way in hell I was going to hit the reset button after making it that far.

[Anonymous No.788134]

i'd better list all the games i did beat...

but i still have an absolute fucking nightmare top 5

5. zombies ate my neighbours... it's just futile, one neighbour at the other end of the stage. spiders, demon puppets, chansaw weilding maniacs, that stupid killer grass, aliens fffucccckking boss spider
4. megaman 1, i can beat 2 on difficult and 3 & 4 with ease but fucking nr 1 will always remain traumatic. i also didn't really enjoy it.
3. turtles 2: even in multiplayer that shredder attack is just to damn powerfull
2. battletoads: obviously
1. castlevania franchise. how the fuck do they even manage that. end bosses, just, fucking... impossible... all of them... and those jumps.. fffuu

I think people said that RotJ was the easiest. I know I beat it and even replayed it with cheats for the hell of it

title screen - XXYYYXX (Ewok sound) you may now play the entire game as the stupidly overpowered Ewok or any other character.

Can't remember the infinite thermal detonators cheat though that was also fun

[Anonymous No.789090]

I got damn far though. But never to the very end. I was at the end with huge buildings and witches throwing shit at you from balconies where balls would roll down, etc. I know it was one of the last levels but I could never get past it.
