    What a cheater. Smh.



    guess I'll have to play for longer than an hour this week. Sandafloors getting to big for his britches. Thinks he's so close to getting an icon. Think you just woke up...... The Grindaaaah. Wwwoooooooooo! ;

     

     You just woke up alright.  Woke up from the crane-kick induced coma.



     



    And here I am, wondering when the two of you will stop bickering at each other like an old couple and kiss already.  

     

    I kiss him all the time



    Here's a kiss with my foot for Double Dragon







    Here's a fist kiss for Bubble Bubble







    And here's everything together for Golf

    This game is hard, I suck at it, and I don't get it

    You forgot "I've never played this game before". 



    its no battletoads. I predict quite a few "game completed". 

     



    The final boss is supposed to be very difficult, but I doubt that I'll even reach the second level.

    The final boss is a pain,but definitely beatable. If you can get past the first level,you'll make it to the third as the second level is pretty easy and has very few enemies with cheap attacks. 

     
  • Alas, I have two shots of rum in me and I am about to give this game my first try in a long, long while.

    What could go wrong?

    Not easily I'd say, as long as you collect the piece of Ironsword after each stage by simply moving Kuros on it, you will not pull the glitch.


  • 530,796 - game beaten

    579,382 - game beaten

    685,217


    image



    Shaved another 50K points from my score. I might be able to lower this further, but I don't think I can do a sub 500K run.



    Managed to shave only 100K points from my previous score. There is still a lot of fat to trim from my score.

    I need more Fabio inspiration to workout that fat out.




    It appears that in my drunk state I... have beaten the game.

    That is the power of the Fabio.
  • Man, this game makes Super Empire Strike Back's pace seem relaxed
  • I have beaten it while fairly tipsy last night, somehow.

    It just can't be any tough.

    You must have some experience with this game. I can't beat the first level.

    I had played the first one a bit, and this one a small bit 8 or 10 years ago, but had never beaten them before.

    Lots of resets yesterday night and I got it. It is not too difficult.

    The jumping mechanics on the clouds is a bit weird, but doable after a few tries.

    Haha! You know I've got a soft spot for sandafloor   <3

    It's Wednesday and only two people, you and guts, have officially completed the first level.

    People should work harder, then, I guess!  

    I found this game to be just a bit harder than Paperboy, which is fairly unimpressive when it comes to difficulty. It could have been the Fabio cover keeping me motivated, but still.



    It will be a bit tricky to shave points from my run, but defeating the game isn't too hard once you understand the jumping mechanic needed to beat the air stage and how to defeat the opponents.

    I foresee a lot of people basking in the power of Fabio manly, manly muscles and beating this game till Sunday.  
  • I probably won't get to jump in on this one, but I'll be back guns blazing next week.



    A late nice job to everyone on Paperboy, I finally beat the game and only hit participation score.

    How are you liking the game so far?

     





    After "playing" all morning. I believe I can officially say this is the worst "game" I have ever played. Worse that pacman worse than qbert. This is the most infuriating thing I've ever touched. I've only snagged the egg once and didn't even make it to the eagle after that because all my lives and health were drained. Maybe if swinging the sword actually did something....

    Believe it or not, the second section of the first level is much more frustrating. You're at the easy part.

    Wait until we play Rollergames....



    I seriously don't get all the hate for this game nor do I get its' perceived difficulty. We've played much,much harder games that many have gotten far into or beaten and I figured if those games could be beaten (or at least gotten decently far into) that this game would be an absolute cake walk.



    I do get that his attacks suck and the enemies constantly cheap shot you,but this is definitely not the worst game ever. 



    Yes it helps quite a bit that I played this a lot as a kid,but I wouldn't call beating Ironsword some amazing difficult gaming feat.

    The initial learning curve must be one of the worst among NES games. It's Wednesday and there are only five score submissions and only you and Bea have completed the first level.

    Try to see it this way.

    Those who have completed the first level have beaten the game.

    Thus, as soon as people start beating that dreaded first level, they too will start beating the game!  



    It is just a matter of feeling the Fabio, letting him into you!  



     
  • 267015, died at the fire boss. It's all coming back to me, I should be able to post up a much better attempt later this week.

    The clouds really suck though. Bouncing high requires pressing jump at just the right moment after landing on a cloud and you _have_ to be able to do it consistently. I can't do it consistently. Maybe there's a trick to it. Meanwhile lots of annoying enemies are draining your life and trying to bump you off the platforms. So until you know precisely what to do, you'll keep getting knocked down and slipping off clouds and having to climb back up as your health bar depletes. To top it off, the "combat" is laughable. The cover art shows a muscle bound warrior with a huge sword, not a dinky knight wiggling his useless metal dick while getting his ass kicked. So yeah, this is not fun. Maybe it gets more fun later. From what I've seen the difficulty becomes much more reasonable after this.

    Congrats on getting that far in this game, man.  Finally someone else beats the first level.



    Roller Games is one of those games that I rented frequently and loved as a kid, but I haven't played in years. I remember it being challenging but fun.



     
  • I just hold the jump button down the entire time I'm in the clouds, personally(except at the boss).

    I was thinking there might be some simple trick for jumping on the clouds.



    I was having trouble with the springboards in Adventure Island II until I figured out that you don't press jump when landing on them and they spring you automatically.

    Thanks! I'm going to try and remember not to pick up the treasures of Saradin on my next run. Got both the book and gauntlet this time. 



    I love Rollergames, but I remember being really disappointed that the game was nothing like the show. It was like WWE on skates.

    All I'm saying is everyone here is too skillful of a player to let Ironsword get the best of them.

    Not wanting to play it because they don't like it is a different story. I really wish more people liked it,I think it and the other two in the trilogy are great games.

     
  • Yeah, as Jandrem said, just hold the jump button at the clouds.

    I might give this a try. It could be that I'm frustrated because I'm just playing it all wrong.

    I have the same problem I have with Super Empire Strikes Back.  The constant attacks give me anxiety or something.
