Chase The 'Bots
27.02.2007 at 23:53:24

Last week I made a small experimental mansion using Joe B's DOMINATOR game data (sprites, tiles, background pics).... originally I just made it for myself....(I might not like SciFi very much, but I'm really inmto robots)... but now I'll like to share it with you.

I remember Joe allowed other people to use his custom graphics, as long as they didn't release their stuff before he could release Dominator. So I hope you don't mind, Joe, that I bring this little fun mansion up, here.

And I have to stress it: most of the credit for this must go out to Joe B, who made those sweet robots and all the rest of those graphics.

CHASE THE BOTS is a pretty tuff mansion, you need to be very fast to even start it correctly...there are many unnecessary deaths Cheesy

and I'd like to make it into a challenge...a contest:

The point is, who can arrive at the exit with the best time, with most lives intact and all secrets and cash, ehm...batteries, found.

I'll give you 1 initial hint: as soon as you start the game, you must catch the moving platform and

ecape the robot that chases you twice by jumping over him, in order to continue.

It's called CHASE THE BOTS as you are not only chased by robots, but sometimes you'll have to chase them in order to avoid them.

And remember:

when playing CHASE THE BOTS it is essential that you have the Dominator game data installed !!!

Have fun.... and report yoiur times and lives here.

You're either the best player in the world...or you really found a shortcut and used it ?! (Did you play it w/ Dominator game data?) But if you did it "the official way"...well then, hats off to you !! Nobody else playin' ???

I don't know if I used a shortcut... It seemed the normal way to me. Except (SPOILER)

I had to jump above the first one only once

And I used the Dominator theme indeed.

Actually, I think one could do slightly better, because I managed later (by chance, I confess) to do something slightly faster than when I posted this score. Dying in the next room slowed me down afterwards though Roll Eyes

(SPOILER AGAIN)

And maybe one can do without the "lantern", too. Another half-second won!

(2nd spoiler)....but this is only possible in a 2nd run-through, when you know the room already !! I'm still struggling to finish it nearly as fast, even if I built it !!

I don't remember my points but I got the secret below the end. I had 5 lives left. That's all I remember. It's cool mansion, and you have to think fast on the first part...
