the 5th ghost Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) 35,524 A little tougher with the short rope, but the same thing happens at the 8th herd. Edited March 29, 2008 by the 5th ghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opeygon Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 35,524 A little tougher with the short rope, but the same thing happens at the 8th herd. how come it says 5524 on top and 3 at the bottom? does the score roll over at ten thousand, and then add one at the bottem every time?

Ze_ro Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 I don't own the original cartridge, but this game is on my 32 in one cartridge from Atari. Is it the same game Should be the same thing, go ahead and play it. how come it says 5524 on top and 3 at the bottom? does the score roll over at ten thousand, and then add one at the bottem every time? Yep, the score rolls over at 10,000. Even though it technically does keep track of a fifth digit, I think it's probably best to just cap it there... after all, I capped Journey Escape to keep things from getting ridiculous, so it only seems logical. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capping at 10,000 doesn't seem right to me, since at around 35K the game becomes impossible anyways. Plus, my score is still beatable, even by at least 1,000 points! It's not like rolling the score at 1,000,000. Getting to the 8th herd takes roughly 20 minutes. Let's make a game of it this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with 5th Ghost (even though he kicked my butt over at the DP Activision contest.) Sorry, I had to throw that in there. Anyway, it does keep track of the 10K marks with the steer head and the numbers progressing. And the game does continue to get harder after 10K. While the score does "roll" I think this particular game would count as an exception. I'd vote to let Ghost's total score be counted.

StanJr Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I agree. I'll never get anywhere close to 10K, so it won't be an issue for me, but I'd like to see who else can get that far and beyond. Plus, the game does track it and the difficultly continues to ramp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played this game several more times and can consistently break 3k, but can't beat my old score yet. Still a couple more days to try.

Still a couple more days to try. I was having the same problem until this game. I must have played 50 games where I scored 3000-3300 since my 3500 game. Keep trying, I'm sure you'll beat it. No pressure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 It's funny, the more I played it yesterday, the worse I seemed to get. It gets so fast that if you make one mistake, it's game over. I had one game going where I just broke 5K with 5 or 6 'lives.' I was thinking to myself "This is the game where I'm gonna blow my high score away!" Well, I slipped up once and blew all of my lives within a 5-10 second stretch...needless to say, I didn't beat my score. I'm still enjoying the game this week, though. I'll keep at it!

StanJr Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Yeah, I'm having real trouble doing much better. I get too involved in patterns and working the system that if I screw it up, I have a lot of trouble getting back on course. I can consistently get in the 3K range with a few games in the 4 and 5K, but I always get out of sync and end up wiping out. Oh well, only a day to go!

Deteacher Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 AAARRRRGGGHHH! Ok, you make the call: I scored 6,885. I reached for my camera, to find the batteries were dead. When I went to get the charger, I bumped my Atari and the screen blanked out (stupid Activision carts.) Fortunately, we have the extra day this week. Hopefully I can break the 7K mark, then this will all be moot, but hopefully this score will stand for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you were already ahead of me and I'm not gonna catch your old score, so this is fine with me. Good luck breaking 7K! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 This game hates me because no matter what techniques and strategies I try, I haven't been able to top my first score. x_x; Ah well... maybe I'll get lucky and next week's game will be one I can wrap the score counter on. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
