Psychosis - just press pause a lot.
« on: November 25, 2013, 06:56:46 AM »
So I was reading through the instruction manual for Psychosis.  At the very end of it, they advise if you are having trouble getting past the second level ("cause"), you should learn how to press pause in rapid succession to “slow the action down.”  Just struck me as sort of funny and odd that they recommend doing this.  That's it.  Later.

Haha yeah I suppose it is.  It also got me wondering what the big deal is with level 2.  Haven't actually played it in a while, and when I did, I surely did it the lazy-man's way (very liberal use of save states).

My PCE doesn't have save states

Heh - no terrorist jive intended !

Yeah I prefer using my actual Turbografx console, but there have been those past occasions I have messed around with this and that on an emulator.  Of course I have an actual physical copy of Psychosis and may very well give it a proper try.

Just use the turbo stick and activate the slow motion.
Looking for TG16 games I don't have already.

That is, indeed, amusing advice.

As folks have indicated, the TurboStick offers this feature...

...but I doubt it will help folks much.

It's a rare feature on the Duo-C, only released in Australia.

Apparently I said something wrong.   I guess because I haven't been around here long its hard to tell whether some of you all are just being sarcastic (which I can take) or honestly that mean-spirited to someone you don't even know.  Either way I guess what I'm saying is perhaps you could give it a rest.  Just as a courtesy.  I would appreciate it.  Thanks.

we are usually being very sarcastic in here, which makes this place so rich of entertaining pleasures :D
