Project-x ending
Recently, by cheating and using state-saving I could finish Project-X without losing a life
But what did I get as a ending ? Now try without losing a life. ... Were Team 17 so sure nobody would finish the game without losing a life or what ? Maybe I've done some wrong with the save states. Can anyone confirm or deny ? |

What do you mean ?
What I want to know is if someone has finished Project-X (btw I forgot to mention it's the normal version, not the SE) without seeing : "now try to finish without losing a life". Oh and if you want to know wich way I cheated : I used gamehack. Located the memory zone with the counter of power-ups. Freezed it to 9 (for stealth). Reactivated stealth each time it faded off. I haven't done anything on lives (excepted gaining bonus lives in bonus stages). Last edited by lilalurl; 07 January 2002 at 23:32. |

This is interesting
 There are two possibilities .... the first one is, the game checks it´s memory for "alien" contents (if any adress being changed) but that would be kinda hard to be coded I guess ..... the other one is, that it is a bug in WinUAE, but I doubt that .... oh wait a minute, your solution is the third one .... would you mind posting your Version of Projekt-X in The Zone ?? I would like to test a bit around with it .....

My bet is that Team 17 was sure no one would finish without losing a life.. I mean, most people can't finish it losing all the lives that can be lost

It's the Skid Row cracked version. But I don't think being a crack would be the reason of the "cheap" ending. |

I got that ending as well, and I think that using the game's cheat (I orgot how it went right now, but you could skip all levels) you got the same shite again.
My take is: they made no ending. And they like you getting angry when you read that shit That's SO shootemuppy!Who's in for asking them about this? |

For future reference: according to this longplay it indeed seems that was the only ending available:

Il completed it a few weekds ago using the only trainer i think (skid row) with immunity. Total crappy ending. In those days the programmers never really bothered with endings, compared to the cinematic ones we see today.

I remember completing the Special Edition and getting a text-only ending... that was some anti-climax

I don't mind a text-only ending when it is nicely done, ie when it fits nicely in a story/makes the mind think of possible sequels etc... in other words not something like: Ryu hits the road again... already looking for the next challenge. The fight is all ... thx Capcom  What really bothers me with Project-X is that 'now try it without losing a life' part. That's bloody frustrating. And it also seems to mean Team17 had in mind a game that could not possibly be beaten without losing a life. I know shmups usually want to give an acarde feeling and that arcade games usually were hard in order to make you spend some money. However, for a home computer game I think this kind of approach is a bit disappointing. The game is still quite entertaining though. Crux II hit the space again. Already looking for other challenges. The spacefight is all.... Now, I wonder if there is a different ending with the Hunter MK7 ship (the one that really sucks in the weapon department)  Looks like a challenge for CodyJarrett
