How much took You to finish <enter Amiga game name here> without cheating?

Shoonay · 13 September 2004, 23:54

Just been reading the latest post on "What Amiga games have you finished, WITHOUT CHEATING?" by [Firthy2002] ( http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?...astpost&t=2733 ), and came up with a new thread idea.

As the title says: "How much took You to finish <enter Amiga game name here> without cheating?"

I mean if it was possible, try to count as much as possible precise time: hours preferably, but days/afternoons/weekends count-type is acceptable

I'm REALLY curious about some games - how much do you have to spend "attached" to your Amiga to finish it...

Yeah... and by cheating i mean also:

- last code entering,
- last save loading,
- looking ALL/MOST of the time at a solution/walkthrough

... i'm sure you do understand

+2 years for eye of the beholder 2
As for lure of the temptress, I started playing when it came out, finished a couble of months back

A day for Defender of the Crown and Superfrog
A couple of days for Chaos Engine
A few hours for Silkworm

Can't remember any more

Defender of the crown : less than an hour
Giana Sisters : about a day
Another World : almost 15 years

Wings : two weeks
Leisure Suit Larry : some hours ...

Well, all that depends how much time I spend on playing each day/month/year/whatever

You mean the part after the water pool, when you jump down and all does lasers shoot from the left side? It took me about 2 years to understand that i have to "just" run to the right and the door open by themselves... before i always wanted to fight with the invisible laser "users" (

) and/or destroy the door... even i'd never could do it, i always though it was just my bad timing

Chaos Strikes Back - 3 months! (or 4weeks of hard gaming 24/7)

Dr. Dude · 14 September 2004, 09:01

Deuteros - 4 days

BippyM · 14 September 2004, 10:22

I am sorry but this thread should be combined with the other, its basically asking the same thing but wanting a time-limit too!

Pointless on its own having 2 similar threads on the go at once!!!

I think it's pretty different but it would make more sense if it was about the minimum and/or maximum amount of time that one spent finishing a game

Marcuz · 14 September 2004, 12:04

i'm interested in one other thing: when you answer to this thread and the other one (how much games etc) do you consider cheating also look at the walkthrough here and there? that would't be so different to ask for help when you're stuck.
i don't think that i ever finished a game without doing something questionable at the least...

edit: oh ok at least 2 i've finished them clean: Double Dragon and Golden Axe, both in some day

I dont know exactly because was years ago but..

Games just took me between 1 and 3 days:

-ChuckRock2
-DoubleDragon2&3
-GoldenAxe ( experienced because of the coin op )
-Banshee
-Batman The Movie
-Robocop 1 & 2
-JimPower
-RiskyWoods
-Metal Law ( arghh! it left me with hunger of more )
-Final Blow ( well, who dont? )

Games took me around 1 week:

-ShadowOfTheBeast3
-Wolfchild
-SWIV
-ChaosEngine
-R-type - I finished previously on coin op. and took me months and money.
-Turrican2 and 3
-FlightOfTheAmazonQueen (In english!! that was important for me

and without walkthroughts)
- Street Fighter 2 ( Damn! I enjoyed it, even if in amiga moves jerkly )

Games took me between 2 or 4 weeks:

-BattleSquadron and Hybris (I want a son from MartinPedersen)
-Turrican1
-DragonStone - that Zelda-alike game got me hooked.
-MonkeyIsland 1 & Indy( but both with some hints ) MonkeyIsland 2 ( with almost complete walkthrought )

Games took me years to finish:

-ShadowOfTheBeast
-Xenon2
-Silkworm
-Operation Stealth

Mention also Z-out,.. this game is the game where I reach the final boss but NEVER been able to beat him..

For the need of this thread, i would like to consider looking all the time at a solution/walkthrough - cheating.

A one-time look "here and there", as you said, is NOT cheating.
