MAME ROW #107 - Shinobi
-
Huh. Just noted that Shinobi doesn't have BGM for me at the moment, at least on AdvMame. On lr-mame2003 it works as intended.
What are you guys using to run it?
Have a good weekend.
EDIT: a nice Google search helped me. Go to Audio settings in AdvMame and lower the absurd amplifier setting to zero.
-
@pjft Now I can't get out of my head that AdvMame may have a setting called "absurd amplifier". :D
-
@clyde That't probably the first technical step towards the invention of the Infinite Improbability Drive :)
-
@clyde Now I can't either! :) It sounds like a setting straight from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, though.

Sorry for missing voting this week everyone. I had some urgent personal matters to attend to the past few days. Would you like to have MAME ROW late this week, or just skip this week and start up again on Monday?
-
@obsidianspider Of course, please. Hope all is well!
I'm fine whichever way you choose, really. I'm fine with skipping as this week will be a bit short with the current timeline, but I'll go with the majority vote.
-
Happy to skip a week - it will give me a bit longer to try to get past the first level boss!
-
@obsidianspider Thats no reason for beeing sorry, we all have urgent matters from time to time. Even when I don't participate here, I come along and read your postings. Skipping is ok, this game is popular and not a bad one. So, why not (this isn't a question).

Well I managed past the first level boss.
My tactic was to move in on him quickly, his first two fireballs go over your head. If you time it right, you can jump up and throw a couple of shurikens getting two hits on him before he's ready to throw more fireballs. This time I ran away, right to the far left of the screen and ducked down . The fireballs missed me. Then I advance again and this time use my special weapon to knock some health off him. By that point he's only got two or three health left, so I move to the far left to dodge fireballs the in to fire a couple more shurikens. One time I actually died at the exact same time his health hit zero and it counted that as my win.
Then I quickly die on level 2 as I haven't played it enough to know what to expect.
I've never manged to win the bonus round yet either.
My best so far - 45260
