1. Introduction/Updates
-----------------------
Time Lord is a game that Rare made, and I hate to say it: it sort of bites!
The bosses can either be simple or pain in the butts, and don't get me
started on the other little things! This is yet another one of those "close
to my heart games" (Just like Amagon and Hydlide!) that just isn't very
good...
Onward!
*Major Note: For best results, use a Turbo Controller!!!*

3. Walkthrough
--------------
You have until Jan 01, 3000 (1 year) to beat the game. If you happen to get
there, the world explodes, and its Game Over! The days go by pretty fast, so
work quickly!
Part 1 - Space Station - 2999 AD
Boss - No Boss
Items:
None
Start by going left, using the jump kick to defeat all the enemies and
pick up the 5 orbs. Watch out for the alien guarding the 2nd orb, he shoots
at you!
Part 2 - Castle Harman - 1250 AD
Boss - Dragon
Items:
P x 2
10000 x 1
50000 x 1
Sword
Start by jumping off the platform and walk right. Jump on the first pillar
and jump to the 2nd platform. Pick up all the mushrooms to make Orb #1
appear. Head to the end of this platform. Jump up and down in one place. Is
there an orb up there? If not, keep going right. If there is, rapidly jump
kick to reach that orb (#2)! Keep going right, passing platform #3 (unless
you want to grab the "P" container). Right after that, you should see a
present. It's a sword! Grab it. To become invincible, hold down the "B"
button while standing still and enemies will go right through you! Keep going
right, passing the 4th platform (it's tough to reach and time is of the
essence!), also, past the 5th and final platform. Go to the top of the
screen. If there is an orb above you, just stand still and let it come to
you. After that, drop to the bottom of the screen (Underground Castle). There
are 3 pillars here. If you don't have 3 orbs, jump on the 3 pillars to make
an orb appear. Head left, killing all the knights. If you see a red dragon
fly by, stay in one spot and it will drop the 4th orb to you! After that,
head to the extreme left to fight your 1st boss!
Boss: Dragon
He comes from the left side of the screen and starts jumping back and
forth, blowing fire! Go slightly up and down, rapidly attacking him with your
sword! He is the easiest boss and dies rather quickly.
Part 3 - Dead Man's Gulch - 1860 AD
Boss: Man in a Sombero
Items:
Pistol
Rifle
10000 x 1
50000 x 1
Heart x 1
P x 1
Start by going right, jumping onto the barrels and head left to get the
pistol that is under the 1st Orb. Go left, jump onto the barrels, and shoot
the orb with your pistol to reach it. After that, go right, feel to free to
try and get the 50000 above the stable by jump kicking. Head into the 2nd
part of town. You'll see the rifle at the end of this area. Feel free to grab
it. Jump onto the barrels and go left for a 1-UP. Now go right to the 3rd
part of town. Walk behind the Station building and an orb may be right there.
If not, keep going right. Pass the part where dogs keep repeatedly coming.
You should see an orb moving up and down. Go the right side of it, and shoot
repeatedly at it to keep it ay your level so you can reach it. If you didn't
get an orb behind the station, check behind the building in front of the
barrels to get one. Jump up on to the barrels and go right. Jump kick the
cowboy on the right side of the building (it has an orb above it). Now head
slightly left of the window, and jump kick up to reach the orb. Go right to
fight the nearly impossible boss!
Boss: Man in a Sombero:
This is the boss fight that can make or break your game! The way to defeat
him is to stay behind him, shooting him rapidly with your pistol. And when he
turns to walk the other way, jump over and through him and shoot him in the
back. Keep doing this repeatedly. It might take you all the way to
April/May/June(!) to defeat him! I wish the game had boss meters! If you
can't beat him, I say give up now, 'cause the rest of the game isn't going to
be any easier!
* Note - using a Turbo controller, I made extremely short work of him!*
Part 4 - The Dora Marie - 1650 AD
Boss: Giant Clam
Items:
Saber
Knives
10000 x 4
50000 x 2
Heart x 1
P x 2
Start by going right, feel free to catch the fish (?) that hit the ground.
Fall down into the first hole. Punch the guy repeatedly to kill him. Go left
and you'll find a saber. Keep going left, and jump onto the barrels and past
this first bell. You should end up at the second bell. You must ring it 4
times in a row and grab the coins that fall the first 3 rings. Jump on the
crabs to kill them, but they keep on coming! After ringing it the 4th time it
becomes an orb! Drop down and go right. Keep heading that way, passing the 2
orbs that look funny. Climb up the stairs at the end of this part. Go left,
and jump up the crates. There will be an orb in this area. Climb above it,
and fall while holding right to grab it. Go left, and fall into the hole.
This looks like the beginning of the area, but it isn't! Keep going left,
pass the hole and grab the dagger and pts. past that part. Now go back and
fall into the hole while holding the "up" button to grab the orb! Now go back
to the left and grab the other orb that looked funny before. If it still
hasn't became a normal orb, try going killing all the red guys and try again.
Now go right, up the stairs, left, up the crates, then right to fight the
boss!
Boss: Giant Clam
Quick Note: It took me 32 knife throws to kill him!
To defeat him, stand on the far right side of the screen, and face left,
repeatedly throwing knives. Most of the time, he won't even hurt you!
Part 5 - Front Line Trenches, France - 1943 AD
Boss: Big Soldier
Items:
50000 x 1
Heart x 1
P x 1
Pistol
Explosives
Start by going right, and go inside the trench and push against the wall
for a gun! Head left, and fall down the ladder. Go right, being careful of
the guards. Go tot he top of the ladder, getting the 1-UP and 50000 pts, then
go down the ladder a tiny bit, and jump to the right and go that way to a
water filled area. You will see an orb going back and forth, turing into a
spiked ball everytime it moves. To grab this go back and forth following it
while shooting the pistol to grab it. Trust me, it can take a while! After
that, climb the ladder, go right, and down the next ladder. You'll see an
orb. Pass it, then go up the next ladder. Go right, and fall the down the
hole, grabbing a gas mask on your way down. Hurry and go against the right
wall for some explosives, then head left and climb the same ladder again.
Fall back down where the gas mask was to get the orb that appeared. Now, head
left, and go down, then left again to reach the orb you saw earlier. Throw
the explosives at it by pressing "B", then "B" again to blow it up. Keep
doing this until the orb reaches you. Head back to the very beginning of the
area and grab the 1st orb. Now make your way all the way back to the gas mask
area, and go right for the boss!
Boss: Big Soldier
It take 44 Explosions to bring him down. Repeatedly throw them at him, and
if he gets near you, go behind him near the orb and keep on throwing them!
Afterwards, you are going to the final level!
Part 6 - Time Travel Station, USA - 2999 AD
Boss: 3-Headed Alien
Items:
Heart x 1
Blaster Gun
Homing Missile Gun
No orbs, just make it to the end! See the "R2D2"-like robot runnng around?
pick up the stuff he spits out, and he'll turn into a weapon! Go right,
holding up the entire time. Once you reach the far right area, climb the
crates, and head left, shooting every thing in sight. Jump over the 3 holes,
getting a Homing Missile Gun from another robot, and you'll be at the final
boss!
Boss: 3-Headed Alien
Stay to the right of the screen and blast it with the blaster gun. Next,
use the homing missile gun to get rid of the floating heads. Good Luck!
Afterwards, you get a nice (bleh.) ending screen for all your troubles!
(And get to enter your initials!)
