Omegamatrix Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 A couple of tries. Never played this game much. Got a shutout though. Never did that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aftermac Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 For the purposes of fair competition, I would recommend that you allow one version or the other, but not both. I agree that there are differences, but I think they are relatively inconsequential for a relatively friendly competition like this. If you feel you can exploit the difference, then go right ahead. How's this for the scoring? A little too complicated for my tastes. I'm ranking things first by how many points you scored, then by how FEW points the computer scored. Also, I'm ranking shutouts separately (If at the end of the week, anyone has only posted a shutout, then I'll include the shutout in the main scores according to the above criteria). Shouldn't the challenge be who can shutout the computer with the lowest score? This would mean you made the quickest work of the computer. I would argue that higher scoring shutouts are far more difficult because as more pieces are laid out, there are far more options available, making it much harder to lose all your pieces. --Zero Thanks for clearing up these issues Ze_ro. I suppose a challenge can take any form one can think of... I was just looking at it from the standpoint of "most efficient" game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthCalvin Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 55-9 I think I finally mastered the art of allowing the computer to hang itself. The last 4 tiles were played by me, 2 of them in corner squares. He was killing me for 90% of the game, just like I wanted him to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymailman Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) I got into the game. Kinda mezmerizing. Has anyone tried to port Pengo to the 2600? 54-10 My best (and only) shutout score: 13-0 Edited October 29, 2008 by toymailman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthCalvin Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 55-9 Congratulations! Thanks. I had to force myself to slow down and really think about every possibility. Game took forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaGtGruff Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Oops! I meant Pente, not Pengo. Now there's a thought! The screen would have to scroll in four directions, though. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aftermac Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I posted my high score on tuesday and never got credit for it, can you add me in Ze_ro hasn't updated the final scores for week 8 or the updated season totals for week 9 yet. He's a busy guy, so sometimes it takes a couple days, but it'll get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Yeah, sorry... this last week has been excessively busy at work, and it's been hard to find the time. All these great games coming out lately (Dead Space, Fallout 3, Fable II, etc) isn't helping my "no free time" problem either --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
