[Audyssey] game difficulties was Re: best side scroller? - Re: Q9 version 1.2.
Dark, Here's the problem though. Has anyone actually completed any of Philip's games on insane, beta team included? If yes then I congratulate you for a job well done, but if not, we have a problem. especially since some of his games have been out for a really long time. If people can't beat games that have been out for years, This suggests to me that the game is almost unbeatable. In that case, what would be the point of a difficulty so hard that no one can beat? how about his recent games? can any of you claim you've beaten Q9 on insane? - Original Message - From: dark d...@xgam.org To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2010 8:36 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] best side scroller? - Re: Q9 version 1.2.

You should actually give it a try especially as it's free, you can get it from Tom's free games section. it was also produced by philip bennifall back when he was running pb games, and has various cool features like cut scenes and multiple weapons, pluss some rather fun bosses and obstacles. in fact I think my only major problem with the game is that while the side scrolling levels are rather fun, there are also none side scrolling levels which can vary in quality. one in particular is especially awsome (I'm thinking of the torgon battle here), but a couple of the others are rather less interesting.

I personally wouldn't like to choose. superliam is a great game with cutscenes etc, and is stil fun to play, in fact the same could be said for Tarzan junior, however Mota is a far more inervative game sinse it's practically speaking the first true 2D side scroller with significant use of vertical movement, also it's an adventure game not an arcade game. Q9 is simply a case of the concept of a side scrolling arcade game ala superliam done exceptionally well. If I were asked to choose, my vote would probably go to Mota sinse in many ways it pushes things forward more, but Q9 is stil a great game in it's own right and I'm very much looking forward to having more of it in the upgrade.

Re: [Audyssey] game difficulties was Re: best side scroller? - Re: Q9 version 1.2.
Hi, That's a two-sided coin. On one hand I can see how you can be a bit exasperated with that (like I said, I do think Tarzan Junior is just a bit too hard). But on the other hand, it becomes a matter of challenge, of saying, Ok,I made it to the Cave World Level 3, how far will I make it today? See where I'm going? But as I said, I do agree with you as well.
