New Zeland Story - boss 1-4

How do you kill boss at the end of level 1-4?

I was trying coverdisks (Amiga Format issue 1) and couldn't get past that boss?!

the whale ? you must let it eat you, and once inside you shot her stomach and avoid acidic falling on yer head.

the best weapon is collecting bombs before you encouter the boss and than blast him apart from inside

Thanks!

Will try that.

It is hard little game.

I think it has to be the hardest game ever! I remember playing it many years ago and remembering it being a very hard game to play - things haven't changed! I managed to get to stage 2-3 a number of times before I couldn't get any further. I wanted to complete the game so I *had* to use the unlimited lives crack built in.

Going through the levels I realised it must be pratically impossible to complete the game without the unlimited lives. Some of the levels are killers! Any level in 5-x is a nightmare. The top prize for level-hardness has to be the very last round, 5-4 I think. There aren't many enemies but it's a level of skill and I was getting very annoyed that when you die you have to start from the begining again! argh!

I think after many, many (many) attempts I managed to get to the end where I could kill the walrus. Eat Bomb!

After all the effort the kiwi had been though, I was disapointed in the ending....

level 5-4 is not the hardest one....

did you only try the amiga version ? try the other conversions as well

sometimes games have different endings on different systems but I'm not sure if that fits to NZS.

You are probably right, but when you have died about 100 times trying to reach the boss, it sure seems like it!

The amiga version was the only one I had ever played. Not sure I would want to play it all again!

I agree, the game is extremly hard. What the hell were they thinkin' when they created that game?!

There is a lot of Amiga games that have disapointing outro...

Hungry Horace · 11 April 2007, 20:09

disapointing outro yes.

bloody good game yes.

difficult? i dont think so these days... since i can complete it... but maybe thats just years of on/off playing?

level 5-4 is made much easier by the lack of a time-limit.

if you havent enough lives, you can just keep killing baddies, get an extra life (50000 points is it?) then try to make your way to the end.
if you lose a life, just kill baddies until you get another one and try again.

the ice is a bit fiddly though!

hehe that is why the game has warps

you have to use a precise and accurate joystick. i use my sega XE-1sg
to get the best result ^^.

agreed. It's definately a help.
i completed it with the CD32 Competiton Pro pad.

I've got pretty far (level 5-1) on emulation, using a PS2 pad... but it aint the same!
