Does this share an engine with Link's Awakening or does it just coincidentally have the same glitch?

Are the error messages a bug in the specific way this is being played, or did the same bug exist in the original context it was played on too?

This is billed as a prototype but it's a very well done game, just short. Nice run

I also think it would be perfectly reasonable to ban plagarism even if there was no rule written for it. Like that's one of those 'default rules of life' thing. If it was like 'I found this cool TAS and I wanted to share it with the world!' that'd be understandable but he edited the file to REMOVE credit and take it for himself. That shouldn't fly anywhere.

Dumb question but could you copy the dll to the name and place it expects it to be?

Amazing work! I assume the new wall clip glitch can also improve any% no ACE?

This was one of my childhood games that I didn't rediscover until last year! It felt a lot bigger when I was a kid, haha. the Engrish was very charming. There's also a sequel (and possibly there are even more sequels but I didn't find them when I searched): https://archive.org/details/JFORE2 EDIT: The fact that these are 'vol 2' and 'vol 3' implies a *prequel* exists? Hmm... EDIT 2: I see, there's more Jiji games on archive in Japanese: https://archive.org/search?query=subject%3A%22Jiji%27s+Adventure%22 Mobygames also has its own list: https://www.mobygames.com/group/13784/jijis-adventure-series/ So there's a hand drawn chapter 3, an even older arkanoid clone, a hand drawn sidescroller, and a hand drawn 'bospider clone' for lack of a better term. Very adorable!

Cool, I'm glad you found it! Feel free to share any other win3.1 games that make you go 'oooh', it's a part of my own history I love exploring too.

Sounds cool, but doesn't remotely sound familiar and I have no idea what I'd search for this one. Good luck!

'SMB1 is too well studied to have ACE hiding in it' and other falsehoods speedrunners believe

If you ever want help finding another DOS or windows 3.1-through-98 game, I've done a lot of cataloguing myself so I have good odds of finding it if it was released in English.

(Apologies for the previous link, I was not aware [site] was copyright violating.) Some other suggestions: https://www.mobygames.com/game/159178/windows-command/ https://www.mobygames.com/game/19507/nisus-missile-master/ https://www.uvlist.net/game-193993-Missile+Master https://www.mobygames.com/game/12950/warhead/ https://web.archive.org/web/20180418092526/http://www.win3game.com/fileinfo-game-starbase.html This exhausts my knowledge of Windows 16-bit missile command clones. EDIT: OH! One more! https://www.mobygames.com/game/2842/microsoft-arcade/ Now it's exhausted. ... Probably. EDIT 2: Oh, mobygames has a missile command variants tag: https://www.mobygames.com/group/4030/missile-command-variants/include_dlc:true/include_nsfw:true/sort:date/page:1/ So I also find: https://www.mobygames.com/game/79697/meteor-storm/ https://www.mobygames.com/game/226667/patriot-missile/ But I don't think it's either of those. My brain keeps saying 'there's another Nisus Missile Master-like game, it had a gradiant sky, the missile launchers on the side had like scaffolding or something in addition to showing the number of missiles left, it had the uh oh sound effect and music and complexity progression'. But it's possible it's a false memory without further evidence.

went to [...] and searched missile, is it this? [Moderator Edit: Please don't link to downloads for copyright-protected materials. In this case, info for the game you had linked to, can be found here instead: https://www.mobygames.com/game/59723/missile-attack/]

Simply mesmerizing! I love the vibe of these old school endless scoring games. Having a literally random teleport button is *definitely* a choice.
