No music during the intro. Only in the title screen. Comparing it to the Amiga version it's really slow and the controls are unresponsive at times.

Yeah, a Pac-Man clone.
Oh man, what a grind. Was close to giving up almost every level after 30. The enemies started moving faster and faster, and the duration of the bananas and weapon (before it despawns) got shorter and shorter. In the beginning it was pretty easy to complete the levels as you could take a banana and have like 10 seconds to chase down the enemies to kill them, but after level 30 or so it was stupidly hard. The bananas and weapon lasted like 1 sec, the enemies ran faster than you, so you couldnt chase them down after taking a banana, or outrun them if they decided to come after you.
So repetitive and boring. Same graphics and music throughout the whole game (not counting the title screen). I was thinking they maybe change the gfx and music every 10 levels, but nope.
Many levels have stupid design, which traps you from the start, IF an enemy decides to come your way. Theres long one-way paths which you must go to get the coins, but then also go BACK, so if an enemy decided to enter the path, youre screwed. There was usually a banana at the end of these paths, but they were to 0 use, as they only lasted a second, and even if you took one a millisecond before an enemy reached you, you still wouldnt be able to touch the enemy as they ran as soon as you take one, and they are faster than you (in later levels that is).
This game was totally not fully playtested, or they would have discovered how unfairly difficult it would get. Im sure no one has completed this game without some form of cheat. I used savestates, which is allowed in the longplays/speedrun communities, but even with those it was almost impossible. Took days, as I went back and forth (needed the breaks from frustration). Like I said before, was close to giving up many times. Im sure you cant complete this game even if you start with 100 lives. On some levels I could easily lose 20 lives.
The way they go seem to have something to do with how you move the player. For example, There could be an enemy going left and coming up to an intersection of a path leading up and down, while I might be walking right, if I save the game and load, he takes the upward path every time, but if I load and decide to move in another direction, theres a chance he change his direction. Sometimes I had to stop and wiggle the joystick to get some of them to change their direction. I could be pressing down towards a wall, without moving anywhere as theres a wall there, and it still sometimes would affect the enemies. At some levels I was surrounded and died like 10 times before I managed to make them change their paths, as just one of them changing wasnt enough, as most of them were coming for me. If their paths couldnt have been controlled like this, the game would have been even harder. Again, if I didnt move, or just moved the same direction every time, they too would move in the same direction, so its not random. Guess their pathfinding code gets confused or something. Oh well...
You seem to get an extra life every 20k points.
I noticed at 44:46 that the bananas also needs to be taken for the exit to appear, thought at first it was just the coins.
Level 23 at 00:38:12 says Too DREAM
Level 30 at 00:50:15 says AMIGA.
Level 50 at 01:25:48 says THE END
These are probably just coincidences, as it doesnt look like the stuff THAT much, but at 00:10:43 it looks like JiM or JiMeY, probably not intended, as they are not complete. Could for example have used a line in the middle of the y (a couple in E as well). 00:06:32 kinda looks like a face.
An extras video, showing the level editor and a couple of other things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Spv_oLnoTIg
At first I had this extras part at the end of the longplay, but during cropping I noticed the editor is 512p in height, so excluded it as I didnt want the whole movie to have loads of black space above and below.

The sequel of Vers LInconnu (Into the unknown). The game starts abruptly exactly where the first one ended. This game have better music and sound effects. And once again, this game is even more similar to Future Wars (the game that inspired it).

The first one was good but tough, the sequel is tough and annoying. Especially the sluggish Atari ST version.

http://www.longplays.org

Released exclusively on the Famicom Disk System in Japan. Developed and published by Nintendo in 1987.
This game is developed around the concept of a Leader board challenge where players can submit there best scores within each of the four levels. The top 100 players in each level would then receive a prize. The game does not seem to have an ending.
The Longplay could have been a little shorter but I race Level 4 twice as I couldnt get 1st place on the first track without upgrading the car. I have recorded more making sure to actually save times on each level and gain a little more money but it doesnt add anything for the longplay so i cut it. I may continue on to see if buying the final car unlocks an ending, but I doubt it. I use an English translation patch to make the video more accessible as well as making the game easier to navigate for me.
The game is a top down racer. There are four levels to play through each with four tracks. Winning them earns money which can be spent on better performing cars. The controls are a little weird with A being low gear and B being high gear and both together is brake. If the car has a turbo, Up is used for extra speed at the expense of faster fuel consumption. The main challenge that is out to get you is Tire ware. Precise control of the car is required by tapping the left / right controls. To heavy handed and the car slides around eroding the tires and making the car hard to control.
At the end of each lap, a Pit Stop is available which will refuel and repair car damage as well as applying new tires. This costs some time and the opponent racers will take advantage of it so it is best to only pit at the end of lap two giving a chance to catch up and reclaim your place. It is possible to win each track without going to pits but you need to pretty much ensure perfect car control to avoid sliding and crashing.
Overall not the greatest game. The opponent cars have an uncanny ability to just belt off leaving you no chance of winning. And with no ending to aim for, it feels less rewarding although as mentioned the real aim of the game is to submit those scores.
00:00:00 Level 1
00:13:18 Level 2
00:25:45 Level 3
00:38:35 Level 4
00:51:20 Level 4 again.
