Phantasy Star Cave Message Board

Hello. Obviously, I'm new to this forum, and I hail from Finland, BTW. I came to know of phantasy star and it's greatness, when a friend recommended it to me. I liked it and then found this great site. Now I'm hoping to have a nice time here. That's it about me pretty much

Welcome! Always nice to see new phans.

I did not see either of those two comments coming.

Lashiec does not need Game Genie; He's invincible. ... That makes him propably even more dangerous threat than Dark Force...

Why use game geini, just spend the next few weeks fighting sand worms, as long as your level does not start going down after level 99.

Hm. I just have to say this...

99 999 999 999 is 1011101001000011101101110011111111111 in binary. It's a 37-bit number. YOU'RE OUT OF ADDRESS SPACE (or something like that)! Which basically means that damage starts from the beginning resulting 'only' to 1 215 752 191 points of damage on 32-bit platform. But I still belive that even Lashiec would say "ouch" if you inflicted that much damage on him. ;P

It's always safe to say that you did 4 294 967 296 points of damage.

I was thinking in the same direction, Zucca, but was too lazy to make a calculation. However, you need to do it again, as the Genesis/Mega Drive was 16-bit.

99 999 999 999 / 2^16 =~ 1 525 878.906
99 999 999 999 - 2^16 * 1 525 878 == 59 391 (points of damage)

This is why some people call me nerd. -_-

Hey, 391 still ain't bad for Phantasy star. Especially if you're fighting in in the first game. That'll kill him AND Dark Falz in one hit. It's also pretty high for PS4... unless you're leveled up all the way.
