About the br's score of Rainbow Islands

Post by Francois Daniel »

Hell all
<p>

Why the br's score on Rainbow Islands still here ? He said himself he use a cheat mode that transform all hidden items in 10K bags. So, he made 2M over the normal score at the round he reach. It seems to me that Cheat Modes are forbidden here, no ?

<p>

I've nothing against br, but the rules must be the same for all.

there is a seacret command.<br>
it makes seven digits counter to eight.<br><br>
if you can get 9,999,990points but not know about it,I can tell
you.<br>

I really want to know how he gets the seacret command of extra
version.<br>
if he looked for and find it somewhere,blah!<br>
but if he solved the puzzle of hint-E and hint-F(need Japanese
language skill),and find out the meaning of curious figures which
round 40 has,and finish this game seven times to get all password by
himself ..and know it,I bow down and respect.<br>
IT IS THE ACT OF RAINBOW MASTER.at least I admit.<br>

Yes, if he made that, it's a good player. But there are two things.
<p>

1. With the Cheat Mode, he make only 3M on stage 13. He don't go very
far.
2. The hi score made by Essekappa don't use this Cheat Mode (I verify
the inp) and he make 18M. And Essekappa is really a Master of Rainbow
Islands, I bow down and respect before him :-)

<p>

So, in fact, for me, the score of br don't respect the rule of Mame
and the Cheat he use don't respect the spirit of the game. I think he
must be zeroed. I don't know why it's not zeroed yet, he upload his
score in May 2000.

<p>

Thanks for your reply, T.T. I don't need the Cheat for playing. I
haven't need it for finish the game. I'll find it by myself in
playing, but I'll never use it for make a score.

Hisa, I think he's referring my recording, not any of yours or
ddr/essekappa's.
<p>

My feelings are that if any code doesn't make the game stupidly easy,
then it's okay to use it, as this is a function available to anyone
playing the arcade version (and trust me, people do use them a lot,
especially on Bubble Bobble). Check out some of the Bubble Bobble
recordings, particularly older ones, as some of these use the power
up codes and so on.

<p>

It should also be noted that only one code can be used on Rainbow
Island for any one game. And of course, both Hisa and ddr used a
code on Rainbow Islands too, to get a score higher than 9,999,990.

Yes, I refferring your recording, Barry. OK, you can use the code for
continue after the 5th or 6th island, but I think we musn't use the
one who transform all hidden items on 10K bags. But, I see the record
of Essekappa and he didn't use this code for make his 18M score.

<p>

I've another question. I'm a recent Marp user, and who is Hisa ? It
seem he's a great player who didn't let his great scores too long in
marp. But why ? If he made great score, I've the motivation for try
to beat him. And, he'll be a great opponent to BBH (and later for my
friend David Constant who have just buy his first PC, see him in the
Olympiads).

Essekappa couldn't have used that code, as he would have needed to
code to get more than 9,999,990 points. Like I said before, you can
only use one code per game.

<p>

As for Hisa, he is a Japanese guy, and one great player. He just
seems to have a few 'personality clashes', so to speak, with others.
Not to mention a few different nicknames too (but he's not the only
one) ;)

Well, many Taito games have some sort of codes you can type to get
items or power-ups and as far as I know they're all legal, if they
worked on the original arcade machine as well (even the 10k bags code
in rainbow island).

Note: you can leech points in the arcade but in some cases it's not
legal at marp. I believe Francois is right by asking questions to
keep special codes from being a leech attempt. I.E. yeah you can
find out codes and tricks to give you a zillion points, but does that
make you a better player who gets 20 million with out the easily
found out special codes that anyone can do?

I understood why the bag code is legal. Because only one code is
possible on Rainbow Islands by game, it's only possible to make
9,999,999 with this code. So, no problem with your score Barry :-)

Thanks a lot, Hisa. I have to tell chad that the money bag code works
the same for everyone: it is not leeching as you can get more points
by not doing it (I did it on jumping only to "max out" the score, and
I didn't even finished it. Actually you can make more than 9.999.990
finishing the game and getting the life bonus at the end). As for the
99milion counter on rainbowe, I discovered it by finishing the game 7
times, as I noticed that the unhidden letters were revealed depending
on the last diamond you take; the letters are the same as in the
secret doors in bobble bobble: there was an alphabet and a message on
each door (and I still have the sheet where I wrote them down back in
1989) I'm sorry, Hisa, but I don't know japanese

<p>

P.S.: fortunately the rx-78 toon serie were dubbed in italian back in
1979
