(Thanks Shoesama & .m.)

[shoesama]

This game is too easy :/

[C.Hatchett]

I cant seem to figure out what the arm muscle things you collect really do. I collect them for the points but I cant see that it changes anything. I am not the smartest dude in the world.

[IIOPAII]

It will be the second loop a "Expedient X"

[GHEMANT]

1 loop only, because in all scores on Vandyke I not read about "2 loops". In all score about this game I read this comment: remaining 0 lives, normal, 3 lives settings.

[shoesama]

How do the pyramid pickups work?

Do you have to press the correct direction with a certain timing, or are the items just random?
Is there any sound involved if there's timing? (my sound device doesn't work)

I keep getting items I don't want from them lol

[Zerstorung]

It gives you the powerup that's on the bottom when the roulette stops, but the roulette doesn't seem to stop consistently so for all intents it's probably random.

[oldtimes]

Someone knows how to climb walls in stage 4? There is food on a wall in that stage

1 loop only, because in all scores on Vandyke I not read about "2 loops". In all score about this game I read this comment: remaining 0 lives, normal, 3 lives settings.

So,how it is possible to reach 3 millions??
Leeching is impossible cause if you spend too much time,an ugly fire face will come to kill you (and running away from it is very hard,especially if you want to leech)

Maybe there are secret places? Secret stages? Anyway i don't think any secret stage/items can allow you to reach 3 million..

World record is really correct? Or it's only (i don't know how) leeching?

[shoesama]

A gray one comes if you survive like 3 of them.

The gray one is really mean =(

[Larcen Tyler]

The fact that the character doesn't actually have a Vandyke reminds me of the intro to Conker's Bad Fur Day when he meets Birdy the Scarecrow:

Conker: Beardy? But, uh, you don't have a beard!

Birdy: No, not Beardy! Birdy! I scare birdies!

[Barthax]

Struggling with XWolfMAME & vandyke: at first I thought no wlf file was being created. The full set of symptoms are now discovered: the inp file goes to ~/.xmame/inp and the wlf file gets dumped into the current directory as the inp file name. What sane command line can be used to generate an inp & wlf file in the same directory?

[Edit:] OK, got a work around. Symlinked my usual inp directory as ~/.xmame/inp and modified the record script to move the wlf file there afterwards (as the .wlf extension).

With my luck in the K8 so far, it should come as no surprise that I figure all this out after I've overwritten the only inp in which I survived the first boss.

[ballas]

(some useless info)
This game almost has the same name as my surname

[DaLar]

When I reach a score over 20,000 pts, I dont get to the highscore nameinput screen..?

[oldtimes]

There's an error on the scoreboard:

I cant seem to figure out what the arm muscle things you collect really do. I collect them for the points but I cant see that it changes anything. I am not the smartest dude in the world.

It may have something to do with enemies being worth 2x points when killed by the sword... I've seen this but not consistently, maybe this is valid only for full AP?
