Found out the hard way that accelerating, firing, and turning at the same time is an unfortunate windows shortcut

(Or a wireless 360 pad, if you have the required shenanigans to connect it up.)

Bit of fuckery required to get it set up properly but it's worth the effort.

I've never been a massive fan of Road Blasters and thus, never been very good at it. I would have liked more time to play this week but never mind. On we go...

Shite! I haven't had any time to play this one. Better have a few quick goes today.

You get a 50k "veteran bonus" for (I think) doing the levels quickly. It's easy to get one on the first level if you use that booster thingy and don't crash.

Ed: I don't suppose anyone can show me their "Input (this game)" screen for this? I've arsed up the controls and can't seem to find any default settings.

I wasn't sure what you meant, as I assumed I had, but I see now that the default is stage 4! Sorry. I'll delete it and resubmit later.

Cheers for the tips! At the moment I'm running out of fuel halfway through stage 3, haha! Are you supposed to let go of the accelerator occasionally, or something? I'm collecting plenty of the fuel balls, like...

Still can't get around that 2nd half of the third level on the half-tank the checkpoint gives you. Dunno what I'm doing wrong.

Two bad weeks! My Pulstar head-start has merely seen me sprint headlong into a tree.

Wonder Boy is a little caveman who attacks using a stone hammer, rides a skateboard and picks up other cute items along the way. Each level has four sub levels similar to Super Mario Bros. The real trick is to keep on the skateboard that lets you take a hit from a monster and remain alive, but this is hard to do since Wonder Boy moves so fast.

The object of this game is for Wonder Boy to rescue his girlfriend, Tina, from the evil wizard, King.

What's the best way to approach this game? Do you hold down the run button as much as possible or do you take it easy?

I can't get used to having run and fire on the same button.

Also, in the arcade I used to go in on holiday, there was always girls playing on this game. Therefore, it's a girls game.

There seem to be a lot of bonuses you can get for throwing hammers in the right place, the extra life is somewhere around where the wasps first appear.

And for those complaining about the fire and run button being on the same button have you never played Super Mario Bros ?

I just had a go of this on an online emulator for a laugh and within thirty second stumbled across some weird item that made a girl appear and lead me up to the clouds. Once there I picked up the same weird item again and was warped to the start of stage 4 (of level 1). I've played this game when I was young and watched loads of people playing it and never even knew there was a warp item in the game at all. Bizarre.
