+Cafeman Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I quit trying. I tried numerous times but I can't get to lap 8 and thus improve my scores - to the point of wanting to curse and throw my contoller! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 When possible, I just go around packs of cars on the infield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Zylon, did you complete lap 8 to get that high score? And did you wreck at all during that game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 Zylon, did you complete lap 8 to get that high score? And did you wreck at all during that game? Almost. if you look closely, the finish line was in sight. The checkered flags had already flown since they start before you hit the line. I wrecked once in lap 2.

JacobZu7zu7 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I gotta try this one tonight, to see if I can get passed that last dang turn and complete 8laps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Well, time's up. I had a free hour tonight and tried a few more races and did beat my own best. I was doing SO WELL in lap 7, then the last corner they blocked me in and my seconds wilted away. argh! 91,500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I played a very nice game, BUT... there was 6 frickin' cars on the sharpest (black billboard) turn, so I tried to turn into the grass, and I STILL crashed... the sharpness of the turn pushed me into one of the other guys tires... other wise I'd be 8 lap completed I'm pretty sure... NOT MY BEST HERE, BUT A SCORE OF = 90,950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zylon Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Final scores: zylon - 103,100 (NEW HSC record for MGP 8 laps) sdamon - 100,650 JacobZu7zu7 - 99,600 Cafeman - 91,500 Sonic R - 90,800 Roadrunner - 85,950 atariron82 - 66,250(eliminated) Great job to all who played and survived. Better luck next time to those who didn't. We've had quite the season here with records falling nearly every round with this contest being no exception. Our next round is Mario bros. Isn't that awkward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariron82 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Happy New Year to everyone! This game was my achilles heal. I've never been able to break 80k in this one. If only RR had selected Dig Dug... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only RR had selected Dig Dug... Happy New Year!, PP is tough... the cars are sometimes hard to predict. Dig Dug would be a fun round... I am hoping for Ms Pac-man or Centipede.

+Cafeman Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I really really really tried on this one, but PP 5200 kicked my butt over & over again. I think its a very well-programmed game. I wish the oncoming cars' animation was smoother though - they have the appearance of jumping back n forth sometimes because of how the graphics are programmed. Until you get used to it , it easily will mess up your timing as you try to weave between cars on left & right sides of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only RR had selected Dig Dug... Happy New Year to you too. Sorry about the PP pick. I hope Dig Dug gets picked too.
