If you want to support me, you can do so at the links below. I also have Ko-Fi, but there aren’t enough entries…
We are playing on the C64 using Ozmoo. However after doing the cemetery part we arrive at the poodle, and we want to save the game here. It turns out Ozmoo has a bug. After save or restore, all the line breaks disappear, cutting off the text! Ouch!
But finally I made it to round 50 and was awarded with the Kirby dance and the final picture! Yay! I can finally put this game away! Phew!
Rounds 46 and 47 were pretty difficult, too. Round 48 was super easy thanks to chaining. 49 was again quite hard. Later levels are lot of luck based. If you get the wrong block it’s game over.

I got stuck on round 37 for a long time. Finally managed to beat it. And then I was hoping it would end after round 44, as the previous difficulty levels had 56 rounds and 55+44=100. But noooo it goes on!

@[email protected] but then I would suggest getting the full cartridge. And all Champ Games have demo ROMs to try out before you buy. Those you can play on the emulator if you don’t have a Harmony. If you like the demo, you can buy the cartridge.
@[email protected] Melody boards can be emulated by Stella IIRC. So ROM download makes sense. A Harmony cartridge is a good idea anyway, in my opinion, if you have real hardware. But ymmv. Melody doesn’t add that much to the 2600 hardware. It can emulate Sara, DPC and DPC+ and also do all the bankswitching. But you are still massively limited by the TIA.
Also the Audacity Games do NOT use Melody boards.
The ten next levels were not quite as hard, but still challenging. As all other difficulties had 16 levels I guessed this one would have 32. But after 32 comes 33…
But level 32 was a bit of a gift at 44 seconds.
Level 22 on insane difficulty was… brutal. Absolute luck based if you make it through the first ten moves or so. A bit annoying!

Insane difficulty is really hard. Level 13 consists only of metal blocks and required lots of luck. After level 16 I was hoping that I would be done. But no, level 17 is still there! My guess is that this difficulty has 32 levels…?

And after 12 tries I managed it in easy mode. I would guess it would take me at least 30 tries on normal mode. But I think this is not worth my time. :)
This was all played on the refurbished red play it loud DMG. So real hardware, but modern screen, as the old display board was corroded away by battery leakage.

My best run so far was 5 hits to Wario. So roughly half of what I need. If only there were a checkpoint right before Wario! It is soooo tedious to do the previous run. I shouldn’t have cheaped out on the Everdrive. I have the X5 and the X7 has savestates… we also have the original game, but that doesn’t have savestates either. :)

So… easy mode it is. I do get to Wario, but haven’t beaten him yet. The lack of a checkpoint is a bit tedious, but now this all seems doable for me.
#retrogaming #nintendo #gameboy #supermario
I tried the Wario Castle a few times, but failed. I am not in the mood to practice it more. So I am now looking at some of the secret levels.
The Space Zone secret level is relatively easy to reach. But as usual you have to go through this every time you want to play it.

Finally made it. All six golden coins are mine. And: I have a deja vu of the final level. Good grief this is terrible!
#retrogaming #nintendo #gameboy #supermario
Star Zone boss is my personal nemesis. I just can’t seem to beat him. I will have to farm some lives soon…
#retrogaming #nintendo #gameboy #supermario
I managed to get to the secret level in Turtle Zone. I must admit it doesn’t seem that worthwhile…
#retrogaming #nintendo #gameboy #supermario
Now at the boss level in the Turtle Zone. So far the game got easier. I think it means I am getting the hang of it. Also, now I have 999 coins and can try to get the BIG prize.

Using the original interpreter we make it past the poodle and finally come to the Magick Shoppe. The old lady gives us something and wants us to help her find her kidnapped cat. The ransom letter was very weird (and is part of the game package). And I have the feeling she is a witch and just cast a spell…
Well, we have to find Wishbringer and the cat – whose name is CHAOS.
