Ah, the gauntlet of challenge has been thrown in the great old style of MARP. That's the welcome back I was looking for. Consider it a battle to the end, and I mean the true end. May the best man be the first to reach 8-4. ;p

I think I just gave everyone a clue what the game is...... but my first uploading will come this weekend anyway regardless of how many of the later stages I have/haven't relearnt.

This is the part of MARP I love, battling over a game you love to play rather than worrying about l/b points.

Cheers, BeeJay (64th)

Ahh an uploading this weekend already?? Then I have to practice even harder my friend, cause I think you are a few steps in front of me right now:) Itīs just a feeling I have...

And you have right, itīs time to finish this game truely!

And yes again, the gauntlet has been thrown!

I didn't say it would be a good uploading, probably just a 6-? or 7-? level recording. I suspect it will be a few weeks before I get to an 8-? recording and probably not until next year before an 8-4 true ending.

Consider my submission this weekend just an initial parry to get the battle started and if it's further on than you are currently something to aim for. :)

I'm looking forward to the battle.

En Garde QRS.

Stage 7-4 but I lost the axe in a stupid maneouvre at the beginning and never quite recovered from that - which is often the case on the later n-4 levels but especially as this is the first time I've ever made it to 7-4 in 1 game and I have no idea how to work that level without an axe... well, I have a reasonable idea of the first bits now of course since I just wasted several "boys" on that stage in this recording.

I'll look to see what damage you've done tomorrow my time.

BeeJay.

Iīm relearning some of the 5 levels right now.. and there are a few extras and dolls I have forgotten were they are.. I refuse to view your inp before I have found out were they are.. so far I have only had 2 games my first was 300k and the second 800k so Iīm getting there soon Brian:) I loooove those challenges!

Back to some more playing now.. no time to waste hehe

ps Nice score Brian! you are way ahead of me right now but the weekend is not over yet, and I will not upload anything less than your score hehe.. The worst thing is that Tombraider v has been released now..but I think i have time for both of the games :)

puhh it took me some time to figure out the dolls and extras at stage 5-1 -- 5-4 But Iīm there now, and exploring world 6 now:) almost 900k now and still making those damn mistakes..

One more game tonight and then itīs bedtime:)

Final score Today: 913420 died at 6-3 not so good points considering coming to 6-3 I begin to remember this game now Brian:) But it was pure luck that I stumbled over the doll at 6-3... I also played a game (donīt remember the score) but I didnīt lose a single "boy" until 6-1 and lost my axe.. I died all men there... I can only say I was frustrated.. ALOT frustrated *lol*

Time for some sleep, and in the morning I will get my first mil for over 13 years on this game:)

Regards

QRS

-- QRS (qrs@telia.com), November 25, 2000.


hmm Final score was 978k and stage 7-1 I did some stupid mistakes at 7-1 but who can blame me? *lol* first time there for ages.. at least i saw the doll hehe. I consider this first Wonderboy day as a good one!

Time for some sleep

QRS: I was kind to you yesterday and again today - not enough spare time to make any new recordings.

Everyone else: Feel free to join in but remember we're aiming for an 8-4 true ending so no wimping out on 7-4 to ensure you get the end of game bonus or points leeching on 6-2 just to improve your final score..... ;-)

Well, I decided what the heck who needs an early night and had a quick game. Unfortunately I mucked up in a silly place on 4-3 and had to get through 4-4 without an axe. Then, after a reasonable recovery I ended up with a Win95 crash ― way through Level 5-2. Over to you to try to raise the bar again QRS. :)

-- BeeJay (mamester@i4free.co.nz), November 27, 2000.



Well, halfway through tombraider V i have decided that today (27th) itīs time for a wonderboy day:) I hope I will get that mil today.

QRS

-- QRS (qrs@telia.com), November 27, 2000.


Day 4, area 7-4. Threw away the game on the wrong blue island girl for the doll bonus. :((

Never mind, I'd missed the doll bonus on 7-3 by a hare's whisker anyway so I wouldn't have made it onto 8-1 anyway.....

Still, not too bad when you consider I could never make it past 6-1 back in the days when I played this in the arcades. :))

BeeJay.

PS: Still missing the letter bonus on a couple of stages as well.

-- BeeJay (mamester@i4free.co.nz), November 28, 2000.


I have not played Wonderboy for two day now, but I hope I have time for it tonight.. My best is still 7-1 but I hope I can get to 7-4 on may next games:) Btw Brian tell me if there are any xtra letters you donīt know where to find and I will gladly tell you:) at least all of them to 7-1:)

Grrr my first game ended at 6-1... I had the game of my life.. no miss and I had a great score (about 860k) and lost my axe.. then I died all men on that **** cloudstage..

This is The SECOND time I have done this.. died all my men on 6-1.. I hope it will not happen again for a loooooong time...

Well, Iīll be back:)

QRS

-- QRS (qrs@telia.com), November 28, 2000.


hmm this time I finaly reached 1mil! But I died my last 3 or four men on 7-2 :) I had forgotten that difficult fast moving clude at the end of 7-2... that was on of my nightmares when I played it in the arcades.. well, I know how to to it to get pass, and in my next game I will hopefully:) I found the doll and the extra...

QRS

-- QRS (qrs@telia.com), November 28, 2000.



I was just thinking now Brian..(cause i didnīt do that when my game ended..) WHY THE HECK didnīt I continue at 7-2 for some practice?? Just to crosse the clouds I mean?

well I guess Iīm just a dumbass::)))

I will do that next time if die my men ther again..

QRS

-- QRS (qrs@telia.com), November 28, 2000.


Yes, 6-1 can be a tough one to complete without the Axe, but I can do it quite well now....

That cloud section on 7-2 is a right royal pain in the but, beaten only in frustration value by the timing required to complete the fast dropping platforms with bats getting in your way on 8-3.

The reason you didn't continue on 7-2 isn't because you're a dumbass, it's because the Wonderboy programmers decided in their wisdom that there would be no continue option allowed from 7-1 onwards. :((

I look forward to finishing work in around 15 minutes time so I can get home, have tea, spend some quality time with the kids, get the kids into bed, spend some quality time with Helen, get Helen into bed and then it's WONDERBOY TIME until 1am (ish) !!!!!

ahhh you force me to play more wonderboy Brian!! Itīs 5am in the morning here and I guess I have to take another game to see if I can get pass 7-2.. I think I remember the doll on 7-4 but Iīm not certain about 7-3.. well Iīll have to play and see:)

Back in 1 hour aprox:)

QRS

-- QRS (qrs@telia.com), November 28, 2000.


aahh I cleared 7-2 without a miss and had 6 men left.. and I lost my axe and died all men after the 4 sign at 7-3... But i found the doll at 7-3 and I know where it is on 7-4..(I think) I will be at 8-1 soon Brian so hurry up!

QRS

-- QRS (qrs@telia.com), November 29, 2000.


Finaly!!! 7-4 cleared with all dolls!! My score could have been better.. Only 1.1mil I died at 8-1, but I found the doll by mistake...:)

Your turn Brian!

QRS

-- QRS (qrs@telia.com), November 29, 2000.


The doll's are normally found that way on the later levels.... I'm struggling to remember where the 8-1 doll is right now. :(

You're not doing too bad for someone who thought they would lose.. ;p

Oh well, guess I'm just going to have to have another go now that you've made it to 8-1!!!

I wasted a truck load of lives on those damn 7-2 clouds on the last game so that was where it finished - and to think I normally get that right on the first attempt. Then again, I did get agro with the 6-4 boss and lost several lives there as well so I was playing angry after that which never helps on a game of finesse like Wonderboy.

Sleep will have to wait after all till I have another couple of goes at getting further than 7-4.

BeeJay.

-- BeeJay (mamester@i4free.co.nz), November 29, 2000.


Sleep wins out...... could only manager 7-3 and then I wasted it in a stupid place just prior to the end. Grrrr!!! :(

Looks like you have the lead on stages currently QRS, even if a little lower on score.

BeeJay.

-- BeeJay (mamester@i4free.co.nz), November 29, 2000.


Well I did another try and finished 7-4 again Beejay! But with lower .. score this time..and only one man left I need to practice in some more skill in getting more out of the levels.. and the dollbonus in the end.. I also mesed up the angelride in 4-4 and 4-1 alot:)

well one good this is that I found out the extra letter in 8-1 and I know how to get the doll easy now. The problem on that level was the vitality.. A hint about the doll Brian: You will recognize the stage (you have seen 2 of this stage before in the game:) Itīs after the Angels ride(But itīs no angel this time only a can of milk) but you know what I mean right? I hope Iīm not saying too much now:)

NO more wonderboy for me untill tomorrow..I need some rest now.. Iīve been awake for over 30 hours...

Regards

QRS

Well, One game of wboy and today... I scored very good and did not miss a single "boy" until 7-2! My score was over 1.1 mil! Then I died ALL men on that F*****ng cloud again... I donīt know why.. I had no problems with it yesterday..

Well Iīll be back..
