Nice choice of game. A pity you're emulating.
An arcade owner I knew whacked everything to max profit in the 80s.
Stop this nonsense.
The cabinet is too big and expensive, unfortunately.
>just buy a full-size vintage arcade machine for thousands of dollars bro
Well, superguns exist.
But yeah I just use MAME or FBN.
Why not? You'd eventually master the game and fully appreciate it. I guarantee you everyone on this board who tried this rom never completed it let alone beat the first stage.
The first stage is like a minute long.
This is /vr/ we're talking about where mecha Sonic and robotnik filter your average poster. Wonderboy 2 is actually tough and requires multiple playthriughs.
stop asking stupid questions
OP here, made it to stage 6 on 1 credit on hard so far.
Investing thousands of dollars into a passive hobby is peak degeneracy
>But buying expensive steering wheels and gaming pcs is just fine
yeah, those are used for multiple things, not a single 2megabyte rom.
Racing and flight simulator enthusiasts can oftentimes translate their hobbies into real live via karting or some other form of racing and getting pilots licenses.
No they can't.
I beat game in the OP on the PS2 (sega) ages ago and didn’t have to buy a moronic pcb.
They even included an option to map an input to do the joystick wiggling trick to get more gold.
>I used save states on emulation to beat it
I've played a lot of Daytona USA and never realised I could now enter real life races. Thanks.
They were supposed to be set according to the situation. Start on a lower difficulty level to let players get accustomed to a game as it comes out and then increase the difficulty as players get better at the game or more of its secrets get out. It also depends on the foot traffic in the area. Less foot traffic you might slightly lower the difficulty to give players a longer play time and an incentive to come back to play again the next day as they passed through.
If there were multiple cabinets of the same game sometimes one would be set to highest difficulty with a warning on the cabinet (mostly seen in Japan).
Or some operators just didn't care and always left them at default.
the game is Wonder Boy In Monster Land
Depends if they wanted you to come back or not.
A simple setup in the corner of a laundromat? Probably five to seven out of ten.
A dedicated arcade in the city with a huge customer base? More likely eight to a full on ten.
Whatever made them the most money.
Default usually.
From experience 70% of neo geo games i played were on level 4 (default). 20% on level 1/2/3. 10% on level 5/6. Never seen 7 or 8.
