Dark Adventure - The Ongoing Battle For 1st Place

[Mr. Kelly R. Flewin]

Well, as I am noticing that I have evoked some fierce competition for 1st Place in Dark Adventure, after I decimated scores for a bit, I decided to 1-up the competition. Soon enough, a quick look on Game Faqs [www.gamefaqs.com] will yield my new solve to this game.

After I managed to do a Once around the World trip, I got fed up and began to map through the game in a hope of finding the ending.. and after a few tries.. found my recording was uncovering a good deal of the correct pathway ^^ I managed to find the ending at last.. [disappointing, but the final room has a good 50k in points to be had by the victor] and penned it down. Hopefully this will increase curiousity for the game and maybe instill some more competition

I discover the correct path (through the castle, not?), but I have been killed.

The 1-up is in fight for the moment!!! The competition goes on...

Where is the faq to Dark Adventure on Game Faqs? I can't find it. I find only simple information. Help!!!

[Luja]

I don´t find any faqs of Dark Adventure nor Devil World (in gamefaqs nor other web sites...)

Not much help! Sorry

Alright, it has been cleared and as of 10:25pm CST [this post] it's now officially up at http://www.gamefaqs.com


And, I've been making some trial and error runs... I actually NEARLY got my groove on with some luck at one point... managed a laser gun in the second area on my first life.. and managed to move and groove quick enough to nab some soda and keep it going [As seen in my recording, though a life was lost there]... then I REALLY lucked out and managed to score a speed up and a dynamite set to really PWN the living bejeezus outta everything..

Then I got screwed over 3 areas later by bats

And as for the castle? There's quite a few of them Metropolis is the one you really want to be aiming for though.

I believe this game can be beaten on 1 credit... but... it's going to require A LOT of luck... and precise movements once you make it to Metropolis [if you find food there, it's SLIGHTLY easier]... and even then.. you're gonna want to have those 3 aforementioned goodies with full life to do it.

The only major hard parts are Olmecs and Meso... Garr gives you some relief... [food].. and then managing to hold out long enough with a laser gun to make it to Bundra [final area] ... then... at least if you die.. you have 2 more attempts and a base weapon can do some good damage... heck... I can kill the Devil in 2 seconds with some luck

I think though... there's going to be some major leeching required to amass huge scores.. 50k for the final area.. bleh.. especially if you know how to cycle the game areas to your advantage [food, food and laser guns if you die]

-Who think's it's time to take a run at Devil World and figure the mapping required for that one.. since the exits take you to different areas..
