actually yohandi, I don't personally see that as a bad thing. there have been plenty of games who's harder challenge has only been possible for the most dedicated players, and it means you've always got something new to aime for. I've finished tj on normal and easy, and got to the honey hunt level on insane, though that was some time ago and was quite a struggle I admit. so, it is possible though difficult.

Funnily enough haiden, I personally always thought of this as one of the games' strengths. I got through easy on the day I bought it (yes, I bought it before it went freeware), and was a trifle disappointed, but normal took me a degree more practice to beat and I've never done it on insane. for my money, this is actually how difficulties should be, so once you raise the difficulty, you need to raise your game to match. I also noticed philip seems to carry this on in his other games as well, in fact generally I'd say formulating difficulty levels seems to be one of philip's major strengths. beware the Grue!

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. Stil, the game has far more good levels than bad ones imho. Beware the grue!

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.

Then again, how many people beat really good chess computer programs? That's why they have different levels of difficulty. I have a battery operated tabletop chess computer game that, according to the box, will beat 99.95 percent of average players. There is absolutely no way that I can currently beat it on the highest difficulty setting. Then again, a Grandmaster would have no trouble doing so. --- Shepherds are the best beasts! - Original Message - From: "Yohandy" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2010 9:06 PM Subject: [Audyssey] game difficulties was Re: best side scroller? - Re: Q9version 1.2.

Hi Ben, Sorry, about that. A few members of this list were snooping my download directories and were downloading unofficial test builds of MOTA so I had to put an end to it by restricting access to the download directories. I'm in the process of creating web pages for the PB Games titles and will hopefully have them up soon. On 11/14/10, Ben wrote: > I can't get to the pb games download site - it states "error!
