Hope some more infos will follow on Atarimania about Son Shu Shi

Whoops, sorry Updated with a nice review for the people who can read french.

First score: 2310

[simonsunnyboy]

First score 2100 points

We should discuss if we play further than the "Continue?" screen or not?

@Marakatti: I have submitted some screenshots via email to Marcer. He promised me in the past to fill the void on Atarimania If it fails for some reason I will send them to you instead, ok?

[lord_boschan]

Score 700...

and now on to the "Continue?" screen.

Marcer has primarily been building the demos section, so maybe he has been too busy with that. You can send them to me too and one of us will add them.

I can PM you my email address if you don't already have it.

Score 3285 before the "Continue?" screen. This Rygar meets Wonder Boy game is very unforgiving.

[ThorN]

Got 2995 and I used the "continous" function. This time it really makes sense. I think the authors don't like other players otherwise this game would not be so unfair. But it's technically great and its challening. So I look forward to a some more rounds.

3300 no continues used

I reached a gate to another screen, but each time I'm tranported, I die in the other screen. Is this a known error. Is there a workaround?

[Xerus]

...for this hidden passage ?

I use the "terminator kid" version and with Hatari I have a double bus error -> CPU halted...
So I don't use this gate.
Maybe a bad crack ?
Otherwise, here my score with one credit, dead against the first boss: 10010

This game seems too hard, I understand why there are lot of credits...

[lord_boschan]

Score 4190 not "Continue?" Using "terminator kid" on STEem same issue with the gate.

PRO-TIP! Unable to take the screws out of the bottom of your joystick & switch the up-direction wire with the wire from an unused button to provide a jump/climb button because you're using an emulator & not the real thing - then re-map the up direction on your emulator joystick control to an extra button on your joystick/joypad. Don't have a joypad/joystick then go out & buy one and make sure it's top notch as life's way too short (As simulated in Son Shu Shi ).
