peedenmark7 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The last puzzle I completed was in the '80s. An old friend gave it to me as a surprise and it turned out to be a custom puzzle from a picture of me mooning the camera at a party shortly after graduating High School. Since Activision left everything to your imagination instruction wise , and smashing the living crap out of my 5200 while trying to figure this game out, is not an option, here's my screen shot for the participation point. Though very unlikely, I may give this one another shot this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kida0723 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yeah, the instructions are pretty vague. Game play instructions are like.... Complete puzzle. Get points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) If the game turns out to be a complete FAIL, then I'll add something related to play. So far, I've only got 2 sets of links to turn and gotten stuck. I'll try again in the morning. Won't have much time to play this round as I'll be in southern PA participating in 19th century combat Fri-Sat-Sun.

Kida0723 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Well, I do have a score to post that I did right before I went to bed, but I can't do it till I get home. My phone was dead so it isn't it on my phone. It's just over 10,000. Can't remember the exact score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peedenmark7 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) I tried this on my multi cart , I could not complete the puzzle, no score whatsoever. I'll try it on my original cart before I smash the sh*t out, I mean give up and take 2 weeks off I still don't have my multi cart troubles squared away... Likely going to buy the new SD and see how that one accepts all the files I now have. Edited March 31, 2014 by peedenmark7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zylon Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 I got 90 I've been able to make some progress on this one, but keep running out of time. You stand in the center of the part you want to turn, hold fire button on move stick in direction of rotation needed. It can be quite frustrating though. I'm adding a bonus puzzle game to download and play that's a bit more normal. I'll score it from 5 on down with all getting at least one point for playing. See 1st post for download. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GornThrifting Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Is it possible to shoot the bad guys? Or you just avoid them? This game is hard! 5465 Edited April 1, 2014 by GornThrifting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 12,560 Speed up after 10ks and 1 free life This is one of them games where if you play all your life you can master it. Not worth that much time... lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReflectionAngle Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Playing in emulation. Not sure if the PS3 controller is ideally designed for this game... Of course, I'm pretty sure the stock 5200 controller wasn't ideal for this game either I think I would enjoy this game more if the pipe lengths remained constant when rotated. In just the handful of games I have played it is difficult to tell what will connect up and what won't. First attempt: 3025 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
