Was tempted to post something similar regarding the c64. It's not so long ago we nearly descended into a flame war about what systems we can/can't pick, and how easy mame is to use and we shouldn't pick anything else :D :lol:

I've tried downloading a few other "tnzs" ROMs, but they are all the same as the one I've been using. I just tried the "older" one "tnzso", and that matched what everyone else seems to be playing now, so I'll use that!

It starts off with the lion in the zoo, and then there are lots of steps to the right. the end of 1-1 looks like this:

Is this right?

There is an "n" and "d" pickup too, just to the left of this screen.

Just save Antiriad's one as the Jap version (tnzsj I think). Then re-audit Mame and play the Jap one. This is the one I'm using it appears to be same one as the others now.

Don't recognise your screenshot at all :blink:

What a stupid game! Who picked this? Can't people choose ones that work! ;)

Sigh, I'll try using Ant's again and renaming it.

I've never seen a game cause so many problems!! I bet a few league members are using the wrong version without even knowing it! The one I'm using now seems to be the easiest of the lot, so there is a good reason to make sure you are using the correct version. The only way I could get Antiriad's version working with Mame32 0.100 was to save it as the Jap version (tnzsj.zip).

what?? :blink:

do you mean tiki (the main character)? I have never seen a version with a red Tiki. If you have a red main character then you are probably running the wrong version - sorry! Are you using Antiriad's version?

At last, I think I have the right one.

It's easier than the other one, and I have a better score, so I don't mind changing.

I got to here then lost two lives, as I couldn't jump out the water, and the baddies were on the wrong side of the spikey things. In the end I chanced jumping onto a duck, and died :( (It's not very often you get to type a sentence like that! :) )

Yep that's the right version. I think you're right TK must be joking. If you do get on the duck it can get under the spikes.

Better get back to work ........

Gotta get a duck, then balance it on the water and slide under the spikes. It's quite annoying.

they way i do it is to wait for the 2 duck hunters to appear and then go in the water and to the left of them this will make them move to the far right and under the spikes where u can take 1 out and then jump on the other duck

yeah first time i've ben there, though I have been past 3.1 a few times. I've never been able to get used to the way Tiki jumps, sort of stutters in the air, always hard to predict where he'll land.

Killed by a stone Octopus.

But, the main thing is I have a way to get past the stupid impossible bit in 2-3! Just to the right of where you start (the spikey pit between the water and the "e") there is a warp that gets you some letters and skips the stupid bit. You continue the level from just after it. :D
