.. No joke. 1 continue. Didn't use dip settings.

I did, however, set difficulty to level 1.

Because if you set difficulty to lvl 4-5, it becomes nothing more than a dodging game in later levels.

There you go.

Has anybody set the difficulty to level 1?

I won't spoil the ending.

A tip on R. muckly the last boss...

He will shoot at you with two bombs three times. Draw his fire while shooting and hitting him with all the grenades you have. After that, he will shoot a heat- seeking beam at you. Run or roll out of the way!

Repeat and you should do fine.

Personally, I think Wild Guns on SNES and the Punisher on the NES were tougher.

That is a major acheivement. I am a huge fan of the Cabal esque games, Blood Brothers being my favourite. NAM75 had some cool features and weapons like running, cartwheeling, helpers, double sites, flamethrowers etc.. but I could neve get used to the way it played after other games, there isn't that much enemy fire onscreen but it moves incredibly fast and can't be shot so you end up rolling on the defencive for long periods, I fund this really frustrating. I guess I should have stuck at it more.
You should write a walkthrough/faq for gamefaq's .com, I for one would love to see that.

Good job! It IS possilbe to beat the game on level 8 without continuing. Although you are right, the latter levels are nothing but a dodging game. In my prime, I could beat the game on level 4 with one life. That's no joke. Quite proud of it, actually.

AOF

Well sure those games are going to be harder if you're playing NAM-1975 on Level-1.

how the fuck do you beat this game on one life?

I got it on AES last week, and .. all I do is die..

its real hard.. I managed to get to the end of the first level without dying though so I guess its just practice in the end.

respect.. you hardcore bastard!

That's a great idea. I never thought of that.
I've taken a tech writing class, but I have issues with writing FAQs.

1.) Though text-only FAQs are a practical and efficient way to disseminate gameplay info, video games are a visual activity which cannot be fully enumerated upon only with words. With the web, you need screenshots to show exactly what you mean. Moreover, it cheapens the game when you don't give it the respect it deserves with screenshots. This rule appiles to some games more than others. Nam 75 would work as a text only FAQ. RPGs don't work as Text only FAQs, IMHO.

2.) I don't really consider myself a "hardcore" completeist of Nam 75. Yea, I play it once in a while, but I'm far from a zealous expert of the game.

3.) Issues with screenshots. If I used MAME on a Mac to do Emus, no prob., but ask anyone -even PC powerusers- who Emus on a Wintel, and they will tell you it's a pain in the ass to run compared to MAME on Mac.

So there you go.
