Use whatever emulator you wish, just remember not to use save states or a Game Genie. Play as if you were playing on an NES (which, of course, is also allowed). Here's a ROM of it:

Pics or screenshots aren't required, but would be nice. Get to conquering :shock:

hehe Yes, I guess it is a bit mean. I'm just wondering if this can actually be done. I've heard people say they've done it, but I really am curious on if any of us can, because at this point, I sure can't... and I've been trying very hard :(

Well, I always thought it was infinitely scrolling crap, like the FIRST Fist of The North Star game.

I played this for about an hour earlier, and I stink at it. I hardly progressed at all, at least it fealt like it. I will, however, try to finish it.
All though it seems unlikely, what if more than one person finishes it? Will the first person to do as such win it?

I give up on it. I got to the singing lady and died...It was toooo much of a burden to walk sooo slow to get to her again. Good lucky to anyone else willing to try :lol:

I'll give it a shot... I don't think I can beat it (if Roth can't beat the game; I definatly won't be able to) but it can't hurt to try..

I need friends.... I had to nix Tom. He wasn't really my friend. His smile "mocked" me.

i don't believe it's possible to beat. use the Game Genie code for invincibility, and you can see how hard it is not to get hit in that sorry excuse of a game.

Well, so far I can get to the sixth level with Jekyll, and at the same time Hyde gets to either the third or fourth level. Those barrels tear me up... well, when teamed up with the mad bomber... then the singing broad.... yeah. This game sucks.

Yeah. I'm attempting the emulator/ROM version; is this dude's weapon supposed to be totally useless, or is it an emulator problem? I keep getting turned into a monster (Hyde?), a bolt of lightning hits me, and then those mean 'ol words glom onto my screen--
Game Over
Sucks. Like an Electrolux. I'll keep trying, though.

I figured as much. I made it to the graveyard, and that's where I'll probably stay. When he turns into Mr. Hyde, he gets even more useless...I thought Mr. Hyde was supposed to be a rampaging monster?!

Yeah, that's the sketchy part. Since there's no manual online anywhere, here's how it goes:

You start off as Jekyll, and you have to get to the church at the end of the game to marry your chick. I guess all these people have it in for you, so you have to avoid them.

As Dr. Jekyll, you have a cane that hurts... well, nothing except bees :?

Now, you have a Life meter and a Hyde meter. If the Hyde meter gets down to nothing, then you turn into Mr. Hyde. I'm not quite sure how the game determines whether you take bodily harm or Hyde meter damage yet. Anywho, while in Hyde form, it's kind of a backwards reality of where Jekyll is, if you will. So if Mr. Hyde gets further than what Dr. Jekyll is, you get struck by lightning and die. Thus it behooves you to take as little damage as possible to try and not turn into Mr. Hyde.

While you are Mr. Hyde, you can press Up+B to fire a fireball. You'll want to use those more than a punch (button B, which I rarely EVER use). Be aware that you can only fire one fireball at a time though, but it is unlimited in the amount you can use. As you destroy enemies, your Hyde meter replenishes. The little hopping brains give you lots of Hyde meter back, so try not to miss any of those. Once it's full, you turn back into Jekyll and get lots of Life meter back... sometimes all.

That's the sum of it. It's pretty damn tough, and yes, I believe it's the worst NES game I've ever played. Let's try not to get into that on this thread though heh.

I played this for 15 minutes last night while waiting for a TV show to come on. That's probably 14 minutes longer than I ever played it before. I was left wondering if that cane is the worst weapon in the history of video games?

I didn't know that. That could be very helpful. I wasn't having much luck with punching.

Anyone figure out what the coins are for yet? I managed to get one from something I defeated.

Once you collect around 9 or 10 of them, you use it to pay off the fat lady so she'll stop singing... getting close to her to pay her is another story :P

Believe it or not, I'm still trying this game. What's the time limit on this? I used a save state last night, and know it's not allowed; I'm just getting used to emulator stuff in the first place, and controlling characters with the keyboard is much more difficult that the good 'ol NES controller..
Anyway, back to NOT using save states...I'm just wondering when the challenge expires...I figure if I put enough time and effort into it, maybe I can do it..I finished Deadly Towers and the even-more-lame Jaws, after all.
Anyone notice the beginning music of this game is the same as the music in NES Rygar, when you visit the Gods in the green rooms?
