Magical Chase bug?
« on: July 31, 2017, 01:48:59 AM »
Hi guys,
Has anyone encountered a bug while fighting the first boss in Magical Chase (Japanese version)? In the second part of the fight when the tin robot is destroyed it's torso may stuck in front or behind you and you can't really fight the elf. This happens 2 times out of 10.

Is it a bug or is this normal?

Thanks

I've never seen that happen, but I usually play the US version.

It only happens to me 1 out of every 5 times.

It only happens to me in 1 out of every 5 copies of this game I have.  Pretty odd indeed.

If it is a code bug it probably has been fixed in the US version.

Looks like the same percentage with me. Do you loose when this happens?

Do you think it's a code bug or it has to do with the actual Hucard?

You gotta flash cart?  I don't have a real copy (any version), but I'll test drive the PCE version tonight.

Also, is yours an original version or the reprint?

I don't have a flash cart. My version is original, I received it yesterday from the post and I have been playing it all day. What an awesome game, I didn't expect it that good.

Thanks for testing for me. If it is an issue with the actual cart I will have to return it back. I think it is the code though

FYI - I think when  Necro asked if it was a reprint, he meant 2nd official printing (with PC Engine Fan sticker), not an aftermarket bootleg. But I have been wrong before...

EDIT: Changed "original" to "official"...

Yeah, I meant the official "pc engine fan" reprint.

I would've said booty if I meant booty; no need to play coy.  :mrgreen:

Comes here talking about Magical Chase but instead of buy/sell it is a bug report from hours of play?

Can someone please make him unbannable permanently?

Sorry guys I didn't understand. It is the first release. As I was trying to learn the game and played multiple times from the beginning, I discovered the bug. Strange it is not known.

thats because only 9 people have actually played the game.  The rest just stare at the game on their shelf while touching their peepee.


I don't like the game, personally.

Most horizontal shooters are dumb to me.

On home consoles I prefer horizontal shooters because vertical ones have a cropped field of view. I prefer those on arcade but then again I don't like to turn my crt bvm monitor sideways, too much of a hassle, and I don't own an arcade machine with default vertical display.

Gameplay wise I think orientation doesn't have to do if a game is good or no

This is not a trick, but a weird glitch. In Magical chase at the first stage end boss, I died from a very weird glitch. I was adjusting the position of the star children when the robots head came on screen and his head flew across the screen, attached to my character and bled my life force down till I died.

This glitch (or close to it) has been brought up before in the glitch/shortcut/trick thread.  it doesn't appear to be a common problem discussed too often, leading me to believe that this a rarity that your play style brought out and that subsequent versions of the game fixed the issue somewhat. 

NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!
