Scrabbler15 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 182,312 I've always been impressed by the players who seem to roll this game with ease (yes, I'm talking about you, Zoyx and Oyama.) I've never rolled this game on any variation. Maybe this will be the week. Or maybe I'll just be happy to get past Round 3. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vocelli Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Ok... GAME 6 Yars Revenge. lets get on the board with.. Vocelli: 177481 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 This is gonna get ugly, I think. Excluding the ones that have rolled the score, most of the scores are really close together. This is going to be one of those "no score is safe" games. I better get some gametime in tonight and improve. Since I've never rolled this one before, I'm a little nervous this week.

oyamafamily Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Here is my final score in Yars' Revenge (Ultimate Yars - Game 6, Difficulty A): 1,000,000+ points. It took me 3 tries to reach this maximum score with Extreme Settings (247K, 522K, and 1 Million on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd attempts, respectively). Remember: this score DOES NOT COUNT (Only for fun)! My intention is to show my performance and skill. <--------Before rolling on Extreme Settings <--------After rolling on Extreme Settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 309,476! I'm starting to get good at eluding the heat seeking Swirl. Not sure I can roll it or not, but it feels good to have improved this much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbee99 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'm in the 200k range now but I cant see what the score is at the end of the game. Maybe I can slow down some a see the score. I have a bad habit of mashing the button over and over while waiting on a screen to change. Not a good idea on this game. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbee99 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Ok. I slowed down some! This time I was able to get a pic. 266947 Also, I ran into something weird. I'd like to point out that I am playing on a 7800 via Harmony cart. This happened on the 1st level. I had cleared all of the cells and was waiting in the top of the neutral zone for the swirl to launch. I had may cannon ready to fire. Swirl sounds, I go left and down, then fire my cannon. I hit the Swirl and the game acted like I was going to the next level. For my score it show this and the game locked up. I had to power down my machine. I know I was pretty close to the cannon. Could this be from hitting both me and the Swirl at the same time? I don't know what caused it. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens when you are on the same vertical line (toward the top of the screen) as the swirl after the explosion sequence ends. It's the programmer's initials. Unfortunately, it also ends your game.

Vocelli Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Ok... making headway. The initial easter egg is one of the most well know easter eggs around. Next to the Adventure and Defender easter eggs, this one might be the top because it is easily done. Vocelli: 227885 GAME 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Kofoed Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 222,250 Normally I'd take a picture of a score like this... but the way you've all been playing, it doesn't seem so important today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
