CGQuarterly Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) This season, the Genesis HSC is going to participate in the AA-wide knockout competition. See the rules here: http://www.atariage....t-announcement/ If you get knocked out, you can still compete in the Genesis HSC, but your score will not count towards the knockout tournament. So I'll be posting 2 sets of results for each round. The second round game, as picked by zylon, is going to be Gauntlet IV. Title: Gauntlet IV Developer: M2 Publisher: Tengen Released: 09/16/1993(US) Rules: Play in Arcade Mode. Do not alter the game settings in any way. Use all 3 coins. Just press "start" two more times once the game starts. This will gve you a total of 6000 health. Please don't point press. This means don't just stand in front of a pile of bones and keep blasting the ghosts that come out. Play the game as you normally would if you were trying to beat it. This round will end on Tuesday, February 7th. http://youtu.be/aJozYe5oVyI Scores so far: 1. Jifremok 196,601 +9 2. zylon 175,885 +6 3. swlovinist 99,358 +3 4.

jblenkle Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 So I just want to be sure I have this straight before I jump in...this game is for the regular HSC as well as the Knock Out round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 So I just want to be sure I have this straight before I jump in...this game is for the regular HSC as well as the Knock Out round? Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jifremok Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) On the board with 30,394. That's three coins (6000 starting health) from mashing the start button, that's the limit. Edited February 2, 2012 by Jifremok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 This was the 2nd new Genesis game I'd bought back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Well if one person is going to use three coins, then everyone should do the same. I've amended the rules to reflect this. Chris Edited February 2, 2012 by Jibbajaba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I think I am going to have to sit the rest of the 'knockout, well, out. Likewise, this will go for the NES HSC as well. I just have a lot going on right now and playing in three HSCS (including my own) is too much at the moment. Sorry guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 That sucks, but it's good news for everyone else, because as long as you all submit scores, no mater how embarassingly bad they are, you're through to the next round. Sorry Austin. I hope you'll continue to participate as time allows, though. Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I had a score of 14,045 using 1 coin. I'll have to insert 2 more coins and see how i do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 After you enter your initials, this game shows your position in terms of points per coin. That said, here's my first go at 3 coins. 64,025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jifremok Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 146,635 I got really lucky, getting extra fight power and extra shot power. But beware the thieves. It goes straight for one of your powerups, and if you kill him and recover the stolen item, it's just a regular potion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jifremok Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) WHOA! I nearly forgot to post my latest score, which I achieved today.196,601. I'm actually not a fan of Gauntlet; I dismissed it as just an overrated mindless hack-and-slash, and a horribly dated one at that. The music in this one enticed me to go forward anyway, since rocking out is so beneficial to a game like this, and found out about some seriously hidden depth in how the game is played...and that is why I've been able to try again and again. I now think this game's much more...uh, thinky-thinky than most other hack-and-slash games I've yawned my way through.

CGQuarterly Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 This round is over. Both Austin and Sonic R are knocked out for failing to submit scores. All results in the OP are updated. I get to pick the next round, so I'll post the new game tonight. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic R Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I don't have this game, so I was unable to get a score in... I'll continue to play and post scores in future rounds... so long as I have the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
