NE146 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Too bad videos of gameplay aren't taken, because I consider myself a really good player and while I have done it, it's no small task to reach 200k in Ms. Pacman 2600. Simply because the amount of low Scoring stages with fast blue ghosts (a cherry/strawberry stage with only 200-400pt ghosts only counts for a couple thousand points) vs. the amount of high scoring stages (banana stage = instant 10k points+) is really mixed and up to chance how many of each you get. So if you play 10 stages past the highest stage.. it's possible you only get 1 or 2 banana/pear stages. So yeah with a fast blinky, it gets hard to reach 200k+. Just saying.. "hmmmm"..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptenmaterial Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 I didn't realize that Ms. Pac-Man difficulty was so arbitrary. Maybe next contest will feature something a little more measured. Jr. Pac, what time zone are you in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toptenmaterial Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 A very big thank you to everyone who participated, you will ALL be receiving prizes! I will be posting the final scores tomorrow (I'm on the iPhone right now and it's tricky to go back and forth). Those who placed in 1st, 2nd and 3rd will be receiving PMs from me regarding their choice of prizes; you will be given a list to make 3 selections from, with higher place holders getting precident. That way, everyone can get one prize. Get it? I don't know if I do! Runners up will have a prize selected by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toptenmaterial Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Ok, I have heard back from everyone regarding shipping addresses. I WILL NOT BE SHIPPING UNTIL AFTER THE FOURTH. That is what money and time permit. For our next contest, I am considering Mario Bros (GBA). Any thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Do you mean Mario Bros. on Mario Advanced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptenmaterial Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) Yes. What do you think? I like this version. It's available on emulation also. But feel free to throw out any suggestions.

Jr. Pac Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Pac-Man? Kaboom!? Dig-Dug? Air-Sea battle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Yes. What do you think? I like this version. It's available on emulation also. But feel free to throw out any suggestions. Cool Good pick, i really like Mario Bros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Pac-Man? Kaboom!? Dig-Dug? Air-Sea battle? You actually want to play the 2600 version of Pac Man??? If we played Kaboom! zylon right here from AtariAge is gonna be tough to beat. He won the 2600 and 5200 HSC's at Kaboom! and is currently winning the 8 bit HSC at Kaboom! Yeah, he's good.

toptenmaterial Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 2600 Pac-Man is a possibility. I'm sure everyone has that cart, at least. What about Custer's Revenge on emulation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptenmaterial Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) Ok, I have announced the next HSC here: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/184294-mario-bros-gba-on-super-mario-advance-hsc/#entry2316112 Now, for those of you who may wonder why picked Mario Bros GBA, here's why: It is an excellent conversion, yet most of us aren't intimately familier with it the way that we are with VCS games. Therefore, I thought it would add an eliment of challange. Good luck! ps I'm not starting the contest until the morning of the fourth to give those of you who will be using emulation a chance to download the ROM.

toptenmaterial Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 Ok, that's a dead link above. I had the thread deleted as I will not be doing prizes for our next HSC. I have seen things get realy ugly regarding prizes on some other forums lately. Don't worry, those of you who participated on this last HSC will still be receiving your prizes. I will be posting the new contest tonight; it will still be Mario Bros GBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
