The Strongest Characters In Gaming Ever # 1

After becoming depressed from dealing with so many weak video game characters, (well, okay, that's a lie...) I decided to create this spin-off series which is about the complete opposite!

As there are also many very strong enemy characters in video games, this series won't be limited to just playable characters. The first episode is about... well, see for yourself. It's an odd one...

@MrDimwit646 Decorate, used in Skulltag, Zdoom, etc.

@Tsukiyomaru0 Ah i see now, Much better way. Do you know assembly language? C++ is the best i know :P

[Tsukiyomaru0]

@MrDimwit646 In some cases, they did that.... In others, it is as I explained below: They used only values between/equal to 0 and 9, while using nearby adresses for tens and hundreds.

So, once, let's say, address 19EC Reaches 09 in value. If it receives a +1, instead of having the value to 0A, it rolls back to 0 and changes the address 19EB value to receive one point.

@Tsukiyomaru0 Good point lol, how else would 8-bit games be side scrolling? Back then the devs used to use all kinds of tricks to get the most out of such limited hardware. And what you're saying is that they have more than one byte in ram for a "single" value and when one value reaches 255 it uses the next value? Excuse me if I'm wrong :)

Thundergod Cid?

@MrDimwit646 Actually, it's the maximum value you can have in a 16-bits address or when a value is determined by two bytes. It IS possible to go beyond 65535, but they didn't. How it is possible? Simple: In some old games in NES, ever noticed how certain values went BEYOND 255? That's because, for example, they placed each value in a digit, and all adresses following each other.

For Time 300, it was:

Address : Value

###X : 3

###Y : 0 (Y being X+1)

###Z : 0 (Z being X+2 or Y+1)

But, yeah, dev jk

IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!!

[MrDimwit646]

65536 is the maximum possible number on a 16 bit system, just a nerdy joke by the developers. :P

HOW you destroy this thing???

65355 is the maxium amount of experience points in Yu-Gi-Oh the FalseBound Kingdom! Both games are made by Konami so...
