The last one, it's impossible, who unlock him it's a really badass!!!
HippopotamusRex 28 Dec 2016 09:36
Zoda has a weakness when he's 1 diagonal away since he can't attack diagonally. He has to come to the adjacent square, in which you go diagonal again. As long as you have a 2x2 and control it well it's not too bad.

Chapter 3 Mountain Tunnel Screen 4 is pure fuck. I hate it and dont working with my Hori Pad. 1000times and everytime i die.
MasterSwordUltima 26 Feb 2017 17:47
Some reason I can't get Search and Destroy to pop for me. Any reason for that? Is there another hidden Minie somewhere that I'm not aware of? (Besides the one that leads to the healing room just before the Maxie fight).

After you have defeat the big ghost, you must go in left room and there you can find the last mini ghost.
MasterSwordUltima 28 Feb 2017 06:15
Oh my god, that was it. I can't thank you enough.

One of the greatest I have ever played ...

Mastered! Underrated game, definitely worth playing

Mastered, thx for the set.
BloodiestCODY 29 May 2022 19:22
being able to find rom that works with both Retro Arch and This site is a pain...
groff16 14 Jul 2022 03:47
Try using USA(Roms) it works most of the time. But another thing you can try is switching to different cores as well.

Mastered! So many great memories of this growing up, calling NiN power for the code to the sub because of no manual lol.
***Warning*** don't keep hitting Zoda at the end once he's beat, this will skip the final scene and the cheevos won't pop. I found this out the hard way and had to beat him twice! Good luck folks, I'm off to play the sequel.

First timer, loved it! and the set: cheff kiss! thanks for the fun set PhilInTheBlanks! 11:44 playtime. Hardest cheevo for me: Watch Your Step. Galactic Domination was surprisingly easy. Heading for Zoda's Revenge now :D RUN, RUN! HURRY, HURRY!
