Rocket Knight Adventures - 1 life run - Part 3

Following a conversation on irc over old school gaming I was surprised how many people haven't played this or finished this classic Konami game.

Being the nice guy I am I recorded it from start to finish in one life including how to ace every boss.

even after 14 years I'm surprised I can still remember how to beat it.

enjoy.

Stage 6 was as far as I ever got. I remember when this game came out. Rocket knight and pokemon red were the shit back then. ;-P

Is this version easier than magadrive,is it tool assisted or are you a boss killer?

[MpukGunsmith]

I assure you, there are no tools, trainers, hacks, cheats, or any other act of lameness.

the secret is being able to observe how the engine works when palying the game and using those properties to your advantage.

It's probably the Megadrive version. The Genesis version has you die in one hit on hard, as well as start you off with no extra lives and no continues. You essentially have to beat the game without getting hit once.

[MpukGunsmith]

wrong, you are describing ultra hard mode, the code to unlock it is given to you after you beat the game on hard mode.

genesis and megadrive were identical systems, genesis was the name given to it in NA.

Stage 5 is my favorite stage out of the others!

Brings back some memories. I sort of miss when games where orientated around a single badass anthropomorphic creature achieving the impossible.

@hivemind99999 lmao dude same...that thing was so scary man but i loved taking it down. epic battle

[SDSOverfiend]

Stage 5 background detail is lovely.. For a hard stage you can marvel in the beauty of RK 1930's design.

[Astralfury]

I remember dying millions of times on that robot chase scene before you get into your own back in the day :( can do it no problem now though haha
