You could always *gasp* fold them and offer cheaper options for envelope shipping. I know that sucks though.

Yeah.  Folding them would make it beyond easy to ship them out, but then you get a lame ass, super creased poster :(

Well, I got Pyramid Plunder a week ago, but other than a 2-minute try at MGC, I hadn't had a chance to play it until last night.  I really enjoy the dash button a lot.  The game seems too easy on 'Easy' mode and too difficult on 'Suicide' mode, so that's good I suppose.

Three immediate thoughts after playing it with a friend and one of my sons for about 45 minutes:

1.  This Pac-man clone is great!  Dash button and powerups are awesome!  Warps?  Cool!

2.  If there were some possible way that 2-player simultaneous and/or alternating were included in this game, then it would be even better.

3.  I wish that Lootin' Larry were always in the middle of the screen, rather than the screen only scrolling when he gets 'close to the edge.

You can change the scrolling.

You just have to find the cheat code first.

Ummmm. I remember trying for 2 player alternating (simultaneous causes other, major problems), but iirc we were already pushing the memory limit on the ram page. Maybe next time :(

Then how do you handle the situation where you need to move him right, but the screen can't scroll anymore?
There was a discussion about that already, and the scroll borders seem okay to about half the people who chimed in.
It does pay to check the radar map when you're close to the edge, though :)

Yes, the debug menu is still in there. You can change some of the game parameters, including the scroll area.
Just be aware: Cheating turns off the high-score save. And the free guy code is considered cheating, too :)

<LOL> I can just barely beat it on Easy, starting with about 30 guys. (Yes, I suck at it). It's really there for people who just have to see the end-credits.
My high score on Suicide is about 700 pts. And I can't finish level 1 on Hard, either...

Suicideeeeeee *pew pew pew*


We should release a demo ISO of all our games on super-hard-modes so people can hate us forever.


Hopefully someone will figure out the debug menu soon :)

I don't think anyone figured out the life code in Insanity til I told someone, lol.

Pyramide Plunder is a really good Pac-Man like. Usually I don't really love this type of game (except of Revival Chase of course, and all Lock'n chase clones) but here, the fact that you can speed the character and other good ideas (changing bonus item, etc.) put the game at a higher level.
Perhaps some levels are too big and the radar is not very useful in the action. Realization is really good (really like tha animation and the graphics of ennemies).

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

Ya might wanna hit up google maps and try and find a local place that sells shipping supplies (not a UPS Store or USPS or Fedex/Kinkos). They usually have cheap poster tubes that you can cut down with a hacksaw or jigsaw, that'll qualify for first class international.

They might be called something like Boxes & More, or Moving Supplies, or Half Priced Boxes of "Insert town name here".

The USPS ones qualify as well, provided you wrap them in paper first.

The post office is so dumb.

Yo there, I managed to finish the game on the weekend on easy at least (after a long 2 hour playthrough!) and I did a review on Youtube and a written review on my website if anyone wonders what my opinions are on the game?

Yours should be en route.   I had some flu-jive going on so some of the shipments got delayed. 

What sucks is I can only get international stuff shipped out on weekends now because of work.  So if I get held up, I end up having to wait a week.  Lame.

Awesome.  I've alerted the Public Health Agency of Canada.  PHAC for short.  As in, PHAC YOU for sending flu-jive over the border!
