Gorfy Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I hear you, Vocelli! I didn't think I'd get into this one since I never played much of the martial arts genre, but I find myself driven to keep going further with it. Small improvement, but I broke the 200k barrier: 203,080 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicgamer_27330 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The game freezes once the clock goes down to 1900. This is the bottom version only. Anyway I made a bit of an improvement before the game froze again 68,560 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobZu7zu7 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Fallout_002 has retired... due to lack of playing time. I thank and congradulate him for participating and making it this far into the contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) Since Fallout passed on selecting the next game (everyone with a score up is safe this round), I picked randomly "myself" as to choose the next game, My first instinct told me to pick a game I am not too good at, to try to scrape by it... ...NOW, this in my gaming instincts is starting to feel slightly unfair.... What I can do to be "very fair", is... I can mix up the remaining game titles in a hat, and choose something, "wildcards" may come into play anyhow... and would allow me to choose whichever anyway... I will go figure the game list now...and choose. Edited March 9, 2012 by JacobZu7zu7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorTat-G Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I absolutely stink at this game. I like the NES port way better. 7,300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicgamer_27330 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 ^ playing this version has made me considerably worse at the NES version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobZu7zu7 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 I just had a thought, with Astroblast and Kaboom!... is it an unfair disadvantage to be stuck with emulation (no paddle control) for these two games? I think with Astroblast we can use joystick only... but Kaboom, if a few people don't own the game... it might not play well without atari paddles. What do you guys think, do we all own Kaboom! and paddles here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vocelli Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Yes for me on kaboom , astroblast and paddles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Just tell us so we can get back to our lives!!! Okay here's how it goes down, there's two wildcards with games "attached" to them, B and C wildcards. B has Fantastic Voyage behind it. I'll go with that.... Fantastic Voyage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobZu7zu7 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Fallout_002 has been chosen out of the hat to select Round 11. He since retired, JacobZu7zu7 has been chosen next out of the hat, I picked D-5 which is a wild card choice, leading us to the wild card game, Fantastic Voyage. "D-5" is X checked off the game list" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrabbler15 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 63,360 I was determined to not go out this week. But I was scraping the bottom of the scoreboard. I wasn't able to click the button fast enough (too mushy) to consistently beat the bosses at the end of the levels. So, I took my joystick apart and replaced the button and the spring with one from a different broken stick. The stick is working better and I got within a sliver of the beating the lightning bolt guy. Now that everyone has a free pass this week, I don't know if I'll get back to Mr. Lightning. I do know I'm having great time with this tourney. And, btw, I do have Kaboom, Astroblast, and paddles. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jifremok Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) I found myself struggling for a while to get away from the bottom. (This was not shown as I was too lazy to post.) I was even too lazy to post when I felt safe (breached 100k), but for some reason I couldn't help but continue. Eventually I got pretty lucky and I'm staying at 214,940. It was actually a pretty aggravating run (as were more of my low-scoring runs). And for the record, yes on Astroblast, Kaboom! and paddles.

Gorfy Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Yes for me on the paddles. New score: 247,440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 0 - Fallout_002 (Retired from Knockout) If at any given time, Fallout decides to try a score... (in the next 2 days) he would be put back into the Knockout. Seems he's not having much time to play though, one reason to check out early...

Deteacher Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) The point is moot now, but just FYI, you can play Kaboom in emulation with paddles if you have a Stelladaptor. I love Fantastic Voyage. Once you figure out what you can and can't shoot, it's a great game! There's one game on that list that has me very worried...and I'm REALLY hoping it gets picked soon. Would love to get it out of the way. Edited March 10, 2012 by Deteacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to get it out of the way. I loves me Stelladaptor! There's just one game that worries you? At least half the remaining list worries me (e.g. Ms. Pacman, Kaboom, Frogger, and Crazy Climber, to name a few). A number of the games I've never played or have very little experience with them, including Fantastic Voyage.

A few I feel good with and the rest are somewhere inbetween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
