So anyway. There's this old game I played as a young child. I honestly can say I don't even remember ever buying it or getting it or whatever. I had it for the gameboy, so that's the version I'm going to be talking about. It's actually really hard to find any videos or anything for the exact version that I played.

For more reading. The story is pretty irrelevant. The game is a reskin (aka completely identical, minus a pac-man sprite), I found out, to a game called Fury of the Furries. So anyway play here. Oh, and, as an edit, it can take awhile to load that site so patience. The game is really slow to play, extremely unforgiving, and really frustrating at times. Gogogo.

Getting to the point of the thread, there was a level that was LITERALLY completely impossible to beat as far as I could tell. I am not joking. I wanna see if I can't get to the level, figure out how to beat it with my wisened (lul) ways of an adult, and then complete the game. If you want to help me, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Here are some codes if you wanna be where I am atm, or if you wanna go ahead and play through yourself that's cool too. Really this thread has a dual purpose of spreading this old thing and getting past a childhood wall.

Here's a video of the game. It's not the version I'll be playing, as it is in color, has like 10x the screen size, etc etc, but it gives an idea of the game.

Wow I completely forgot about this game. I remember playing this though I can't recall how far I've gotten. Yeah it was a tough game though. I'll play it again too and see how far I can get. Thanks for reminding me about this game. :bleh:



None.

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

Wow a jump and run without the run part...

I never said it was a really good game. I said I wanted to beat it.

Edit: I'm now back to where I was when I was a kid. Level 6-10 is completely impossible. Someone give hand plox? Halp?

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
[2026-6-19. : 9:57 am]
Oh_Man -- artosis dropped pretty interesting vid: https://youtu.be/EqZHB8Blra4
