I just finished watching this baby! Some questions though: In the Mack fight you are about to hit with Mallow, but you stop for a brief second. I also noticed this when you defend in the same battle. Is this to manipulate luck in order to receive less damage (well.. 0 damage infact) and to be able to land your punch? Same thing happends in the volcano, against the dragon, you wait alot before hitting with Geno. In the Bowyer fight you seem to defend rather much. Why is this? And as MovieWatcher said - Why don't you avoid the sand monsters in lands end? It's easy even on console! This would probably save alot of seconds! I can see that you level up some defeating them, but in the long run, do you really save time doing this? I'd be glad if you answered. But I will throw in the YES vote right now anyways! I mean.. 17min improvement is not bad man! Very good job!

Hmm.. Strange. I watched some faqs at www.gamefaqs.com saying what I stated above. I don't really care. But I still think Journey to sirius is older than Blaster master. :D

I had never played or watched this game until this run. All I can say is Holy borrowed music from Batman and borrowed sound effects from Blaster Master! Way to recycle, Sunsoft.
Actually Blaster Master came after Journey to Sirius, so in that case Blaster Master must have borrowed sound effects from Journey to Sirius. Batman came before Jorney to Sirius though.

I suppose you should cancel your other run if this is improved that much.

This run has been halted since I started the Legend of Toki run. I just felt so eager about Toki and the challange of it. So I coulden't lay my hands of it. :D I will continue Wonder boy 3 though so don't worry. I just took a vaccation from it for little over a month. ;)

I didn't think rock candy varied in damage. I think it's a fixed value. Can you even miss when using it?

I found my magicom for SNES today while I was at my mother/fathers house. Though I'm missing a floppy drive for it. Is it possible to connect it with cables to the computer instead and load files directly from it? [edit] Found a site which sells these kinds of stuff: http://www.robwebb.clara.co.uk/shop/ Now I only need the right things, and software to transfer data. :D [edit 2] A search for genesis hardware brought up some interesting stuff at http://www.gamefaqs.com/

I think you should play it and you will see how the "ego" of the AI thinks. :D It's so fun sometimes. Also.. The computer player sucks. It takes them 10+ turns to beat one another. Even above 15+ turns some times. :D

Well.. Europe got 6 points you can attack it from, while south america only got 2 ways that needs to be defended. It's two less units, but far easier in the beginning. http://133an.sytes.net/~highness/riskoverview.jpg You can watch it there.

Yeah. We know. We had a long discussion about this in the IRC channel. Sorry for not alarming all the info here. As a matter of fact it only played two games, Gyromite and Stack-up.

Didn't nintendo sell a robot back in the days for the NES? A robot that could play a couple of games flawlessly?

I don't know if I should bounce this topic or not like this. I firstly wanna say that this game is in the workbench, so go ahead and vote if you liked it. Secondly it's somewhat time to start a new crunch of it? There are still some errors in my movie where someone could save time. Mainly from ducking into exits. If someone comes up with new improvements I'd very much like to see them here so that I or someone else can make a new best time of the game. Thanks!

I think there are to much math for me to handle in this game seriously. Another angle would be to have a good start, like start with a complete country. How could someone manipulate that? For example, start with south america and get to turn before all the others. I assume that I would get the extra troops right away, which would be very interesting since I most probably would start out with more units than any other color on the same board. It's somewhat so evil that I almost count it as a cheat. :)

I just made a test in real time without savestate or any luck manipulation and I managed to win against all colors in 8 turns on expert difficulty. [edit] Someone suggested yesterday to edit my posts instead of making new ones. So here goes.. I played the game again today, for fun since I really love this game. :) Managed to beat all computers in only 5 turns! http://133an.sytes.net/~highness/risk-5turns.jpg No manipulation involved. I had very good luck with defeating colors and getting their cards though. But now I really beleive someone could do a sub 5 turns run. The game seems to be strange to manipulate. If you try to attack a country, and then load a state and attack it again you will get the same result, no matter what you press. However, if you attack another country before attacking your planned target, the result is very likley to change. Therefor it can be good to loose some battles in order to not loose as much in a more important battle. Some times you can have 7 troops and attack a country with only 2 troops and still loose. So if you have a country with two troops and attack someone with 13 troops you are very likley to win without any losses on your planned target.

Another thing to concider in the manipulation would be to have the first turn. Often when I play I end up to make the third turn or fifth. This can be crutial to survive the first round as the other players would tag up and kill you off. Secondly I think conquering south america first is a pretty good idea. Australia is not very good strategically because most other players are fighting about that. Third of all it would be a good idea to manipulate all the cards for each turn. And aim to kill off a color rather early to get the hold of it's cards as well.

I don't know if this would be such a great game for time attacking in general. But I think it would be very cool to see someone defeat 6 computers at hardest level in a very fast manner. Perhaps below 7 turns? Any one dare to try? I'm playing it right now with the rom: Risk (U) [!].bin A hint would be to press the start button after placing all troops and switch off the battle view. Otherwise you will see cannons blaze all the time and it will be pretty boring to watch rather than seeing the units move all over the board instead.

Perhaps you have some diffrence in your settings Dark Mana? You could try to download my CFG for Gens if you'd like? http://133an.sytes.net/~highness/Highness_Gens_cfg.zip Ok.. Thats about what I can think of right now. Furthermore I would like to thank you all for your nice comments and votes! I'm very pleased that I managed to satisfy you all!
