Reproduced it on 1-5 again.  Same thing, freezes when the mummy is stuck in the wall.  If I keep pressing I the mummy, frame by frame, walks through the wall and then the game resumes.  



Just adding a 2nd pic as it further through the wall.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Yeah, so we see here, it is a case of mummy-on-wall + me making tiny ghost houses.

:)

In other news, how are you people liking the maps?  Are they too douche-tastic?  Things that seem like a good idea to me, may be a punch in the dick to everyone playing.

Just had my first crash.  Maybe the mummy half out of the spawn area is telling?  I don't know.

EDIT:
Just thought I'd add that after the crash I kept pressing I and it went frame by frame. Slowly the mummy walked through the wall and eventually came through the wall and back on the main game screen.  The game un-froze and started playing again!  It takes like 16 key presses (frames)  I just added 3 frames after the initial freeze.  I happened to do a save state when it first froze.  


That is neither a crash, nor a bug, it's a feature!! :D

Looks like someone beat me to the punch on Alabama Smith.

I thought I'd heard the name before.  Damn.

Maybe I can contact the guy and get permission to use the name.  Seeing as it's a shareware game and all..

hmmm :)

You could go for Mississippi Joe instead, or something like that. There are lots of combinations that are just as good as Alabama Smith.

Also, I concur that there is a need for some smaller, faster-paced levels to help the game pace. Either that or slightly modified enemy AI routines for the larger levels.

Alabama Smith has the best ring to it though.

I could shrink the maps.  That seems to be the concensus so far.  The levels are too big and the ghosts are too dumb.

Seems that shrinking the maps would make this just like pac-man. I wonder if there is some element that could be added to the game that would make traveling the maps quicker, but without making the game easier. Something like a whip that lets you collect bars down a row, along with faster or more numerous mummies.
Also, I suggest "North Dakota Dale" for the protagonist.

Montanna Jones!  AHHHHHHH, already taken!  :D http://www.gamefaqs.com/3do/569469-montana-jones

All seriousness aside, I really like the idea of a whip that you can pick up, that has a limit number of times it can be used, that stretches the screen to get a full line of bars!

You could name him Gerald, and he could also appear in a platformer. :)

Alabama Smith is the best, but a recent game also uses the name, so it is out.

How about Arizona Joe

Instead of only shrinking the maps, how about keeping them as an alternate quest/mode and make the smaller maps the "normal" game?

Haven't had a chance to try this yet, but hopefully I can remedy that tonight. How about Dakota James? :-k
