Can't really argue with that... the Special Edition is much better.

hate the way you can select new weapons

Maybe some of WHDLoad guys could implement some feature into the slave to disable that ridiculous mechanism?

This sucks, I got caught out by those missile things near the end of level one, they're pretty horrible. (Oh and those other scores I quit out as soon as I lost a life, it was near the start obviously.)

But they didn't fix the waggle annoyance. I don't understand why not, as it's the worst thing. I'd rather they fixed that than anything else.

Maybe I'm going crazy but I thought the waggle thing wasn't as severe in SE?

Maybe I'm just very severe with my zipstick. I guess that's why they're built like that.

They should have had an option in the menu ideally.

Graham Humphrey · 17 August 2007, 00:59

Yeah, not having an option in the menu was definitely an oversight. There's nothing more frustrating than losing a fully-powered plasma just because you were a bit enthusiastic with the ol' joystick.

GUNS!

At least, even when your weapon swaps, you are not losing its power. So when you manage to find power ups to make it to plasma or magma you will enhance it either way

Graham Humphrey · 19 August 2007, 19:11

Bah, I got an access fault at the start of level 2 with WHDLoad 16.8. I was doing much better this time as well...

I remember when I was a young lad I used to be able to get to the 3rd level boss... Now I couldn't even get to the 1st level boss

Graham Humphrey · 20 August 2007, 09:23

Bit rusty are we

Took me a while to get into the swing of it as well but at least I'm almost competent now.

Good to see you finally found time to enter too

Bamiga2002 · 20 August 2007, 19:28

I was well on my way through 3rd level when i was attacked by an "access fault"...again

. Used latest WHDLoad 16.8.

Graham Humphrey · 20 August 2007, 19:37

Maybe you should stick with 16.7 for this? I switched back to 16.7 and it didn't crash for me at all, though I didn't get as far as you did. The slave definitely needs updating by the looks of it.

Where did you fly to (in other words, who killed you

?

Graham Humphrey · 20 August 2007, 22:33

What do you mean? On 16.8 it crashes at the first wave on the second level. On 16.7 I got about mid-way (?) through the second level (where those balls that kind of give birth to more balls) before I died. Horribly.

mailman · 20 August 2007, 22:54

@Graham

I was asking if using WHDLoad 16.7 you are able to fly over those balls. Bamiga2002 claims that using 16.8 he was able to fly it through and make it to level 3. In my case, using 16.7 (and earlier) it quits with access fault everytime I got to those balls.

Graham Humphrey · 20 August 2007, 23:02

Well it didn't crash when I got to that bit, I didn't last very long though as I was on my last life. I lasted a few seconds and it seemed okay to me, I'll need to get there again to make sure though.

Bamiga2002 · 21 August 2007, 12:02

OK, access fault on 3rd level after the 1st wave of birds when the stone spikes fall down...
