Game Competition #14: Ms Pac-Man (with speedup hack) SPONSORED BY TORNADOTERRYS
<< < (6/16) > >>
DrFrag:
Wonder Boy has a similar thing.  There are hidden bonuses that reveal E (1000 points), S (2000) points, C (3000 points) and a bonus life in that order.  But it isn't reset between credits, so it's possible to get the higher bonuses early if you play a second credit.

Not quite as dramatic as the Gun Smoke code, but I think there are lots of games with interesting counters like this.  I'm pretty sure Bubble Bobble is another one.
mrclean:
Yes I just noticed on my Dedicated Bubble Bobble the same thing that if i start the game up again it remembers the triggers.. and you will start to see items early.. like the potion on level 1 ! which usually is screen drops to trigger it.. but obviously it must carry over from the prior game.

Oh yeah also on the Gun.Smoke Quarter trick... usually but not always normally when you insert a coin it makes a sound.. but on quarter 256.. silence!.. and... 256 is the resolution of the game coincidence?? maybe not.
Ginsu Victim:
256 is the memory limit of a lot of old games. Heck, even The Legend of Zelda only allowed 255 rupees. I guess one more would've caused problems.
geocab:
Well, I have 66,000+ so far, better than my first couple of attempts, but a long way to go still.  Even with the speedup hack, the ghosts still cheat. :P

Off topic, but I can't believe you remember that! That was so long ago. That game consumed my schoolyard for the better part of a year.  ;D
