Silver Surfer (NES) No Death Run: High Score World Record

It's my no death run of Silver Surfer. I managed to beat the record high score with my score of 842,100 points. It was a pretty good run overall. A few mistakes here and there plus I used a few safe strats. I played this using the NES Advantage controller for those wondering.
The rules for the run:
- attempt must be performed using an original NES and cartridge; no emulators permitted
- video must begin at start screen
- must not lose life
- must not use smart bombs
- may use turbo
- run should be no longer than 30 min. to avoid point exploits (at least in my opinion)
Here is a link to Record Setter: recordsetter.com/world-record...
Hope everyone enjoys my run and if you have any questions feel free to ask me!

    The sampling and utilization of nes sound channels in games composed by Tim follins is so genius

  • @adaptifi3d

    @adaptifi3d

    Ай бұрын

    Believe it or not, Tim Follins never used the DMC sample channel for his NES music. Each bass kick is made with 7 rapidly decreasing hits of the triangle channel accentuated with the noise channel to mimic compression. That on top of maintaining a bass line with the triangle channel and hi-hats + snare on the noise channel. The dude was a genius! BTW, if you want to see what I'm talking about, download NSFPlay and find the NSF music file for Silver Surfer, then open the keyboard view. From there you can slow the song down up to 8X and visually see how he makes all that sound happen.

    this is a pretty short game so it wouldn't be so bad dying towards the end and having to start over. people do no hit runs on games that take 4 or 5 hours to complete, that would be pretty stressful at the end because you'd have to replay all those hours again to get back there.

    The Nerd: This game is so hard, it would actually be easier to go outside in a thunderstorm and try to dodge rain. It would be easier to walk barefoot, without your toes or heels touching the floor. It'd be easier to pick fly shit out of pepper... while wearing boxing gloves! The fact you can get hit only once, pretty much means that you're weaker than every other enemy in the game. HOW DO YOU DIE FROM JUST TOUCHING A WALL?! I can understand if he's flying at like 200 miles per hour and he crashes into the wall, but the fact that he just touches the wall and dies, is just ridiculous. I never read any of the comics, so I don't know what Silver Surfer's powers are, but isn't he supposed to be pretty strong? So why'd they make him into a wimp?! Why is he fuckin' up rubber ducks and weepin' like a crybaby? It's like some sort of fuckin' joke! Like what if they had Bruce Lee tripping over his own shoelaces? It's a fuckin' insult! This game should've been classic! But instead, it's worthless! It's as worthless as this fuckin' LJN poster I have back here! Man, I would just piss and shit all over this fuckin' game! In fact, JUST THINKING ABOUT IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE HAVIN' AN ANAL EVACUATION! (Swigs some Yuengling) Fuck...! (Gets up, takes game out, and then throws it to the wall in rage.)
