Gorfy Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 ROLLED IT!!!!...................... 10,890 Strange feature of the game--- When I was at about 9,800, and the screen switched to the orbital platform, it remained on that screen until I shot enough of the two vessels to break 10k. Then it returned to normal. I didn't get a "before" picture, but here's the final score picture, for what its worth..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Man, I can't seem to get back in the groove I was in. One last go of gameage tonight. Might have to stick to my highest score so far. Can't seem to get back there. One problem I'm having is my paddle is a bit jerky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disjaukifa Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) I can honestly say without a doubt there is no other 2600 game I detest as much as this one . . . I think my 2650 was a fluck . . . Reason for this? Scores tonight: 560 2000 1655 1025 895 1355 2535 I want to congratulate everyone that played this game, its not an easy one, this one took precision and skill!!! Good job guys and gals. Hope ya'll all had fun! Edited September 14, 2011 by disjaukifa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't seem to get back there. One problem I'm having is my paddle is a bit jerky. A quick fix, albeit a temporary one, for jittery paddles: turn the knob all the way back and forth several dozen times consecutively; afterwards, you should find your paddle to have tighter control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I've never played the infamous E.T. game before, so I'm thinking I'll try it during the break between hsc seasons. It seems to me that hsc players give unpopular games more of a chance than the general gaming community, so I was wondering what others here thought of the game....

DT Kofoed Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Rough week in life. Played this once, on Wednesday or something... but hey, that's participation: 365. Looking forward to a little break between seasons, as long as it is a little break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Okay, here it goes, my final attempts at this one. So damn tough, I just can't believe some of you guys even broke 5K, let alone rolled the damn thing. Here we go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! First, to piss me off, and strangely similar to the first milestone, I scored 4,995. Bastards, no way I'm going to bed on THAT ONE. Feck it, KILED IT. TOTALLY BOOSHED. 5,340 This was all about the paddle. I tried fixing it as suggested, didn't work. So, instead of that, I set it for two player and just allowed the first player to die by progressively building up planet heat. This, in fact, worked well. Gave my finger a longer break, AND the second paddle was smooth so I was able to get this score with it. Could probably get even higher. Those of you still wanting to try, I noticed something. The game actually has elements to it to make it easier as you get further. After breaking roughly 3,500, I noticed the satellite things were coming down slower and in wider-angled movements. This enables you to rack a huge amount of points around 4,000 because they just keep coming out. You still need to be fast when other stuff falls, but it's a welcome relief and you get a ton of points. Good ending for this season, next time I hope to make top five.

Stan Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Damn you! Damn you to hell! Yeah, you're too good for me, way better. I'm pretty good in general and can usually reach decent milestones like this, but man, you're pretty consistent with your killing. I guess that fits with your succubus picture there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAHAH.... **Oh yea!** Kool Aid Man wall breakin scores this season LOL... @ Stan I see you noticed the Succubus I often do a lot of thinking when playing the weekly games. Try to figure out my own tips or read others, it helps me get the big scores usually. I been at this HSC since 2006... but only season 8 and 9 I been making a note to play week by week. I keep improving my skills and plowing over my old scores. Now when season 10 goes, we will have many new people starting up right away at game 1, so, it will be very interesting.

I'm like Atari Age'r Random Terrain, I think the game is GOLD. It's my "Adventure". It's not a bad game at all... just read the manual first E.T. was one of the few 2600 games I played as a small kid, sometime in the 80's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
