I would like to show the Special Notes for Secret Quest:

1. This game has 8 rounds - the number of existing floors means the current round. For example: if the current station has 2 floors, then the current round is 2. Each floor has 16 scenes.

2. This game finishes after completing 8 rounds (see the screenshots below). Pay attention that the score DON'T count!!!!

3. You MAY use the password screen via TV Type switch to pause this game, OR to change weapon. You change it pressing Fire button. REMEMBER: NO PASSWORDS ALLOWED!

I'll put up some of my tips, since we don't have any, yet.

My sincerest apologies to Miss 2600. I didn't see your tips that were posted to the main page.

Since Miss 2600 got us started with some awesome tips, I'll add a few of mine to the list.

No problems, Scrabbler15. I actually deleted that tip in my post because it wasn't a good one. I'm now able to kill everything in the early rounds without using up energy. I didn't know it was copied in the main page. I'll see if I can get it deleted.

12,552! Had to squeeze something in this week. I couldn't find my Harmony Cart after my grandson took it and didn't know what he did with it.

[toymailman]

I will be playing this one more. I need more than a week to map out all the levels (given the time I had). I got to Level 7 and ran out of energy.

HAHA!,
well maybe,
it's either that... or the feeling I have about the music that repeats over 'n over in the background. Could you imagine Swordquest games with a repeating tune like that??

Congrats, TOYMAILMAN, for your astronomical score!
I broke 100K after studing carefully the directions and solutions for Stages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. You probably read my strategy tips!

Thanks oyama! Actually, I used my own hand-drawn maps on graph paper. I still want to map out level 8 (once I get there).
