JacobZu7zu7 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) 2600 Knockout Semi-Final: + 2600 HIGH SCORE CHALLENGE 2012 SEMI FINAL ROUND! HSC + Elimination is Activisions PRESSURE COOKER SETTING: GAME 1 (DEFAULT GAME) LEFT DIFFICULTY: B RIGHT DIFFICULTY: B DEADLINE TO PLAY: This round has now begun, it will run a week or until Sunday, May 6th 11:59PM EST (EASTERN TIME) Play with Atari 2600 Console, or Emulation. Any joystick or keyboard is fine! Pics are encoraged here, however I WILL accept a no pic score. Anyone can jump in and play for a High Score and Ranking, if they like... Every score will be counted for the High Score Challenge also, even if you're not entered in the Winter 2600 Knockout. Everyone starts each game with a score of ZERO, one goal is to get above 0... or get a high score, if you don't you will be eliminated and the lowest score earned of the active KO players, is safe! A KING status will be awarded at the end of every round winner, as well as rankings and points. First place gets +15 points! From there on, 1+ less... For the K.O., you need not win, just not finish LAST! Let the battle begin... THIS GAME IS ALSO OPEN FOR HIGH SCORE CLUB POINTS AND RANKING! Red font indicates out of the knockout but playing for ranking and score.

Scrabbler15 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 19,335 I had not played this game before. When I saw it on the list at the beginning of the tourney, I gave it a try and took an instant liking to it. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vocelli Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 For what its worth I stayed up until midnight and could not post.I worked all day and was not home until 9pm I emailed the editors my score at 10:06pm. If you contct the editors m,y score is with them. So I did send in my score to the next available person. Vocelli: 226010 If posting was not available at the deadline I believe this score should count. I just awoke and here I am. To be technical, TD Kofoed score is posted past midnight too. Rules are rules! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 First score for me: 219,455! This game requires a lot of concentration, fast reflexes and a quiet room with no distractions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vocelli Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 So here I am again. Five players left. My game of Crazy Climber has yet to be picked. So if I can make it to the finals, I hopefully can finish first in one of the final games. Hopefully. Here is my first submission for Pressure Cooker: I love this game but it take a lot of concentration and time. Vocelli 52160 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oyamafamily Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 First attempt for me - 182,550!! Note that today I'm off work, so I submitted this score early! Woo Hoooo!! Got to 180K-point club in 1 attempt! Here are my partial scores after the completion of these rounds (I make notes in my notebook and I died at Level 5 / Round 4) to become all the members more motivated, especially the beginners in 2600 Pressure Cooker: LEVEL 1 / ROUND 1: 2,995 LEVEL 1 / ROUND 2: 6,755 LEVEL 1 / ROUND 3: 10,985 LEVEL 1 / ROUND 4: 16,080 LEVEL 2 / ROUND 1: 22,590 LEVEL 2 / ROUND 2: 30,270 LEVEL 2 / ROUND 3: 39,280 LEVEL 2 / ROUND 4: 47,425 LEVEL 3 / ROUND 1: 57,625 LEVEL 3 / ROUND 2: 69,520 LEVEL 3 / ROUND 3: 80,885 LEVEL 3 / ROUND 4: 93,280 LEVEL 4 / ROUND 1: 109,130 LEVEL 4 / ROUND 2: 121,500 LEVEL 4 / ROUND 3: 133,985 LEVEL 4 / ROUND 4: 145,165 LEVEL 5 / ROUND 1: 159,720 LEVEL 5 / ROUND 2: 173,765 LEVEL 5 / ROUND 3: 181,630 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 235,390! I think this is my personal best so far...and I know I can improve because I made some pretty silly mistakes earlier on. Even though the beginning levels are a little tedious once you get the hang of it, it's a really great game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vocelli Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Making progress. It seems once i make a mistake I do not recover correctly. I need to learn to let one sandwich drop if it means saving the rest. Vocelli: 73650 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Minor improvement: 238,365! Gotta post every point I can scrape up now. After last week, a couple thousand points can mean the difference between staying alive or being KO'ed...not to mention that Toy hasn't posted a score yet.

After last week, a couple thousand points can mean the difference between staying alive or being KO'ed...not to mention that Toy hasn't posted a score yet. Good point 'teach.

Deteacher Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) 306,425! New personal best! I got to round 6, level 4, but I only had 38 points and I blew through those pretty quick. Would love to get to level 7. Edited May 2, 2012 by Deteacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oyamafamily Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) PRESSURE COOKER: DETAILS AND INFORMATIONS 1) BONUS POINTS AT THE END OF EACH WAVE You earn 10 points for each 1 performance point remaining at the end of wave. This value increases by 10, up to a maximum of 160 points per performance point. Also, you earn 100 "Burger Bonus Points" for each hamburger dropped into the wrapping chute. This value increases by 100 for every 4 waves completed, and DOESN'T max out at 1000 "Burger Bonus Points". 2) SCORE (PLEASE, note that this score DOESN'T COUNT, because I'm giving some infos, OK?): When you reach 1 MILLION POINTS, you will lose all your performance points remaining at this point. The numbers of your score will be replaced by COOKER'S SYMBOL - see screenshot below - and the game will end automatically!

toymailman Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 WOW! Great score Deteacher! Looks like you are starting an exclusive 300k club. So far I have never been over 300k in this game. Maybe this is the week? 285,275 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
