  • talbot, or anyone else here, can you guys please clue me in on why great games like this back in the 80s never had a save game or password feature? I mean c'mon! Can't the game's programmers tell not everyone can do this in one sitting?!?!

  • Money!

    It would have cost a lot more to spend time creating a password system for the game.

    Batteries made the games more expensive. Phantasy Star was the first Sega game I bought with battery backup, it cost $80 20 years ago.

  • @talbot1939 This isn't quite correct.

    For a save system, yes, you need a battery and it bumps up the cost. Battery-backed saves were a big feature at the time for precisely this reason. But passwords don't need a battery, they're purely a programming task. I can think of a good few reasons why they wouldn't have them though, and I may well do a video about this!

    (Also; check me out, resurrecting a 2 year old thread!)

  • @aawood I guess I inferred creating a password system would increase the development costs . I can only guess but a lot of SMS games would have much smaller budgets than their NES counterparts. Make a video! I like retro games as u can guess :)

  • cool run man, though why did you skip 2 obstacle courses? eh, maybe you wanted to do a 100% completion run in the future XD

  • Youtube doesn't allow me to upload videos above 11 minutes in length so I try to squeeze the action game runs into 2 parts of 10-11 minutes each. If I had done the bonus level I'd have to add a third segment only a minute long so it wasn't worth it.

  • "Thou canst hast the power of a berserker." Sadly, he looks like a retard while swinging his sword like that.

  • Haha. Probably by thinking if you pressed a lot of buttons, the game would give you another chance.

    I am the Kenseiden master. Game doesn't get enough recognition!
