Well look at the size on both Genesis X-Men games and compare them to the SNES. Hell look at how big the SF characters when the Alpha series hit the block.Quote:

the only one mostly on time was erik larsen's savage dragon
And Valentino's books were nearly on time as well. Then again Shadowhawk was a series of miniseries mostly. But it still counts. Possibly the most underrated of the original Image boys. A Touch of Silver is one of the best all time non-superhero comics IMHO.Quote:

valentino's books had the problem of a confusing line upQuote:

boring !Quote:

Nope, the 32X is serious business, like card games.Quote:

Man, I just wish someone could answer my first question in the first post:
For all the ink that's been spilled about the 32X, it's amazing how little we know about many of the actual games.Quote:

After being reminded about this thread from your post in the other section I feel I can finally put this unhealthy affinity I have for Cosmic Carnage to some use and figure this out over the next day or so.Quote:

Awesome! I'm quite sure it's a timer issue, but I wonder whether it uses the sum of all the time you consume in every fight (probably) and whether you're additionally penalized for losses (who knows?).
Another 32x mystery that's lacking clear documentation (or at least existing info collected into one resource) is the batch of protos DRX dumped a while back and how they differ from the retail versions.
I remember reading pretty detailed breakdown on several of the Doom versions, a small list of other games versions were exactly the same as retail, and a bit of info on the Knuckles protos, but beyond that not a whole lot. I'll try to take a peek at the early Cosmic Carnage ones to see if the ending thing is any different on them.
I meant to post this follow up nearly 4 months ago and just today realized I hadn't.Quote:

For the exact amount of time I'm not sure. Assuming you lose no rounds, for rough window as long as you win each round within 40 seconds (80 seconds per match) you'll make it to the escape pod and get the real ending. It's OK to take longer than that on a round or to lose a round as you make up that lost time by winning the following rounds quickly. That works on both Cosmic Carnage and Cyber Brawl.
With 7 opponents (there's no mirror match) at 80 seconds per match is a total of 560 seconds from the time you start. That's not exact, it may be more than that, but you can definitely get it within that time frame.
Thanks for that! I guess the next step would be to track winning playthroughs that get the best ending, and total the number of seconds expended until the key number is found.
Maybe the easiest way would be to do a savestate playthrough up to the final opponent (counting elapsed time along the way), beat him and confirm that you've gotten the best ending -- and then repeatedly restore and deliberately waste time in that last fight until you find the exact threshold to trigger the bad ending.
