In Bionic Commando (US version, for NES), the optimal overworld map route seems to be 1 4 15 5 2 3 6 14 6 8 9 8 7 8 10 12 11 12 which gets you only 2 encounters with trucks (each of which costs about 18 seconds -- a significant chunk). That is the route used by the videos at this site. However, it seems that taking this route does not always produce consistent results -- i've noticed that most of the time one will actually run into a truck during the transition from 6 to 8 (at the very last second, just as you reach 8 ). Only rarely, and (as far as i can tell) unpredictably, will the truck somehow manage to get just one pixel ahead of its usual course and narrowly miss your helicopter. Is the truck timing in this spot something that can be manipulated?
