+therealbountybob Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Oils Well & On-Track Everyone welcome to play Downloads: Screenshots link to Fandal's site Oils Well atarimania Play on regular - Altirra users make sure the video settings do not allow you to see the baddies off the sides of the screen! - [View Overscan Mode Normal] see beginners guide for more info or post for help Beat MaPa's HSC record of 710,330 for a bonus point. The game does go through the 3 difficulty levels but then does not get any harder? On-Track atarimania new to me and the HSC we'll have some sort of Team Race here - suggestions welcome! Teams will be captained by trbb, McKong and CaptainClassic you will be drafted based on your position in the current standings after they are updated (!) Details for On-Track & Tables on Post #12 Have fun and post scores as you play Round closes Weds 24th Sept 10AM UK Time Guys please consider joining abbuc and you'll get to play the six brand new A8 games from this year's software contest before they are released and get to vote for them too (another last place for me ) - it's around 32 euros for the year, you can pay by paypal. Contact atariage members SKR on Bunsen or post here with any questions. NTSC Bonus / Rules Change As we seem to have less players the NTSC bonus point will only apply if there are 12 players for a game and there will be only 1 per round (unless different players win different games). This is not to protect my lead but more to make it fairer between 2nd and 3rd. The season is long and there are plenty of extra challenges for top players to go for. Hope this is ok guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitanClassic Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) I always thought free bonus points for NTSC were too lucrative. Perhaps they should only be worth 0.17 points each? Using Atari800Win Plus 4.0. Any idea how to turn off overscan? I see different display modes. 320x200, clipped ... 672x480 in a window What is the proper resolution for Atari800?

CapitanClassic Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Holding down your button in On-Track is the brake. I suggest playing Practice instead of versus computer (but am open to either). If you play One Player versus the computer, and the computer finishes 5 laps first, you don't get to complete your run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKong Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 On-track is very difficult. I played for an hour or so this morning. If you get in front the computer driver seems to speed up and it's nearly impossible to hold the lead as he starts to get all Rosberg on you and bumps your car until you hit the grass. The computer driver never makes a mistake but does seem to drive slightly slower if you're behind and it is possible to catch up. I think the best tactic would be to try to stay with him until the last lap and then crash into him and hope that your car gets reset in front or that he drives into the grass after the spin The closest i got to winning was making it over the finishing line of the 5th lap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKong Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Think Practice on On-track would make sense as I don't think we'll be able to compete with the computer driver enough to keep people interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame as it doesn't allow you to compelte your laps - other choice is to play 12 hours and do # of laps compelted but yes I think it's practice everyone.

CapitanClassic Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Finally went back and retried Gran Prix Simulator. Beat L5 for the first part of the season challenges. Might try to tackle the next 3 levels as well. Did this on (PAL) not (NTSC) though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to have to switch back to On-Track. Anyone feel like the dirt tracks are faster? This one is definitely more fun than Grandma Prix Simulator. That one feels like you drift too much, and slide all over the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like pac-man having to guard his rear...) OILS WELL HINTS Try and get down for the bomb very early and stay down and do the lower bits (don't retract all the way back), sometimes steer back up instead of retracting. There are lots of extra men so grab the golden goblets (?) when you see them. Use the middle routes to descend where possible and clear a few each side so you can see when they approach. If you beat the first round (8?) levels you earn a stock certificate! time to update the tables... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
