1,144 So this is what Puyo Puyo is? Seems identical to Dr Mario. Or was Dr Mario itself a Puyo Puyo clone? |

Hum... It's not an easy game, but don't know what to say... And I really hesitated before posting...
As my Netbook is not strong enough to emulate AGA (did I say it already ? :p AGA games are slow on this Netbook), I have played the 4 disks set of the game in ECS mode (A2000, KS 3.1.4, 2MB Chip, 8MB Fast). If we have side to side real ECS & AGA Amigas I believe game speed an IA is the same on both computer as it's the same disk set for both mode (on emulation on this Netbook, the speed is different if ECS or AGA is emulated) but as you john & lifeschool are the moderators of the competition, if you don't want to consider my score, I will listen to your position. So here is my score in "story" mode & "medium" difficulty. All Minskies rescued, game finished : 920'446 = (460'223 *2) https://i.ibb.co/MhTdczP/Minskies-m-1.gif |
Nope, sorry malko.
But your 1.5GHz netbook definitely can emulate AGA games at 50fps. Please just use an older WinUAE then the game will run at full speed. Here's WinUAE 2.5.1: https://www.amigafuture.de/app.php/d...ail&df_id=3660 You can just rename this winuae.exe to winuae251.exe and place it in the same folder as your WinUAE 4+ exe. Just use the 2.5.1 exe for AGA games. Btw., impressive score! :great |
malko how did you set resolution and line mode ??

Here is my AGA go : 402'976 (201'488 *2)
Earned less coins and was less lucky with the slot machine :D By the way, AGA mode has a score display issue during the game. The number of hundred of thousands is missing (in ECS mode all numbers are displayed). https://i.ibb.co/8Dd4n6b/Minskies-m-2.gif Edit : Need to try to finish Worthy now :p . |
Well done malko! :great
Don't wanna try HARD mode? |
Think I will give it a try. But if it's the speed of the lasts levels of "medium" it won't be a cup of tea :p
Edit: A tip regarding the slot machine : try to get three grapes (look carefully to get the pattern) ;) |

Nearly all amiga games are in lores single (+or-320x256). Some rare intro pictures are different. Set it to lores single, believe me... even if it display a hires picture, it will work. the only thing in hires (hires single +or - 640x256) is the first logo at the beginning of minskies all the rest is lores single. |
^ True, that also helps a bit when you've got such a weak PC.

Is this basically Puyo Puyo ?!?
|
I've never played Puyo Puyo, but I've read that that's what it is.
It's also Arcade quality, really polished game. |
Yes, this is basically Puyo Puyo, but some mechanics are kinda wrong. You should be able to drop and rotate at the same time, and it takes too long for the blocks to fall when you eliminate them (also the "attack" blocks take too long).
Also the lack of counter-attack really pulled me off the game, this is the most important mechanic on Puyo Puyo and its lacking here. Puyo Puyo also has none of those weapons and to be quite honest I thought they kill the flow of the game. Framerate also jumped up and down all over the place, this was very noticeable on the slot machine... on certain levels it was very easy to see the slots spinning, on others they were blazing fast. It's still a nice game though, I wish I knew it back at the time. I played a single game on normal, but my wife took my attention at the middle of the match. Pretty sure I could beat the game easily withouy my wife nagging me (hehe), but I am kinda experienced on Puyo Puyo. The arcade Puyo Puyo is a LOT harder, I can tell you. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/zw...k=w293-h220-no EDIT: Oh, and scoring comes basically from the slot machine, not the main game... so... bleh for a scoring competition on this. |
Framerate appears perfectly stable here (using WinUAE's fast VSync mode). Guess you're on real hardware then. Another one of those Amiga games that WinUAE "fixes" like Lotus III.
Thank you for the insight. :) Yeah unfortunately this is more slot machine than skill game when it comes to score. |

Good job Malko :great 283616 |
I just noticed all the discussion about playing AGA version vs ECS.
I read the game loads better gfx on AGA machines, but its the exactly same game. I was indeed playing on real hardware, but an A600... so, ECS version. So I guess my score is not valid, hehe :) But this may explaing the hard fluctuation on the framerate... maybe the game was designed around 020 machines and it was just "hacked" to work on ECS, but maybe very slowly/jerky on a 7mhz 68000. |
