+therealbountybob Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 so it's powersoft vs bluecat for Zador Champ I had my sector editor out last night and tried to hack the Zador timer for NTSC players but it's compiled Turbo BASIC so I wan't successful.. was kinda fun though. I did find the high score file but when I tried to clear it the game locked up!! Still stuck on level 9 of Yoomp, no improvement on Zenji either but I got close. Zador reached level 5 - 3,730 and Zador II 1,520 also level 5 @rr level 2 just use the arrows - no jumping with the button. Keep the stick held on the full circle bit... use the music to get the rhythm right for the bounces. I think the game detects/compensates for NTSC (shown on the title screen) but you could try on PAL too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Zenji: 840 points this is no gam for me. I do not understand this one and got no manual for it. Zenji is much easier than you may think. Yes the instructions are lacking on gamplay (5200 ver has some info & atarimania). Zenji Guide: All you need to do is move your "Face" around avoiding the 2 baddies. Hold fire and move L/R to rotate a section - use this to stop the baddies reaching you and also to connect pieces to the main green area.Often you need use a piece as a bridge to reach a grey area then turn some other pieces around before going back and connecting them to the main island from the other side. You do NOT need to join all the ends (like in Loops of Zen). Collect the numbers for bonus points. There is a short video here Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powersoft Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 it is curious thing. I understand the gameplay for sure. what I do not understand: I cannot turn any field at any time. It looks for me like random if it works or not. What do I do not understand here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should definitely be able to. But you're turning the piece, not the field. Click the button and push right and that level should be completed.

Bunsen Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thank you! From some users on highscore.com. Welcome SHiNjide! Good to see you here on AA. Emulators are fun, but playing on real machines is even more fun! SHiNjide is one of the most experienced highscore hunters on highscore.com. He earned 1,111 trophies on highscore.com. Probably he want to save this number and now change to other highscore platforms? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will stay loyal to Highscore.com, but I'll post a few Atari scores on both platforms. The HSC here looks very nice. It's sure fun to play the same games for a few days/weeks and to challenge each other. I look forward to future rounds! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 That's the good thing about playing in the HSC, you have few people playing the same game at the same time. My competitive nature encourages me to play games that I would otherwise have not played much, if at all. Perhaps we should start posting on highscore.com as we finish a HSC round 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
