HSC12 Round 1: Jr Pac-Man


Recommended Posts

Wow 50 posts already great going EVERYONE :thumbsup: :thumbsup: I'll put a new table up in the morning :)

I finally have a score that I'm not ashamed to post (it took long enough):

 

29,390

 

It isn't much, but it's something to start off with just in case I don't get much time to play the Jr. Pac-Man. I was hoping to break 30,000 points before I posted a score, but I keep getting close and not making it. At least I've gotten to the third board. That was a chore for me.

 

I'm playing on my real 130XE NTSC machine. I haven't been paying attention to how many points I'm scoring on the first person (okay, on the first Jr.). I guess I need to start doing that. This is the most I've played Jr. Pac-Man. I like it; it's much harder than I expected. It's quite fun, and I finally feel like I'm getting the hang of it. I can't wait until I get to eat my first Root Beer. It's worth 5,000 points. Wow!

 

It's nice to post a score here again. My goal is to post a score for every round this year, even if it's just a quick round or two. It seems that every point counts in the end. Playing every round should be worth a bonus point or something. Or how about bonus points for people who live in my town? Or on my street? Or in my house? Do I get points for begging?

 

nice try :D

like I've said before it's more fun to post scores as you go (for others anyway) that way we have some lower scores posted early on ;)

 

I was pleased Jr won the poll as it's a great game for the 1st round; even though it's tough everyone knows what to do and it works! :)

It's nice to see new faces in the HSC and nice to have loads of competition at the top of the score board

What's that?! Competition at the top of the scoreboard you say...

76,450

That's another thing why the HSC records are different to those posted elsewhere - I was playing with 8BIT 1337's 75K score in the back of my mind, ok in the front of my mind and it significantly adds to the pressure... on that board the ghosts just blip you can eat 1 maybe 2 if you are lucky I had to focus on the trains and at the end every last dot on a death run... serious adrenaline rush and pressure :thumbsup:

 

p.s. I think the real top end competition is yet to arrive his name starts with S we are not worthy :D

on the same subject anyone heard from Captain Classic?

The poll for Round 2 will start early next week so if you've not listed your favourite games on the Games List please do. Also second other suggestions that you like; the most popular games will make the polls sooner :)

 

With a week to go we're getting close to the HSC record number of players for a round :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I don't know how to post screenshots.

yes sorry I missed your scores from the tables - there is always at least one mistake each round. Once I have my spreadsheet with all the new players listed it should be easier for me to spot names with blank scores :)

(updated above)

 

screenshots are optional but if you want to take them on altirra it's Alt-F10 on atari800win+4.1 it's F10...

when posting click on 'More Reply Options' then 'Choose Files' you can click 'add to post' to insert them into the message body otherwise they appear at the bottom of the post :)

Fun game, and NTSC to boot. All right!

 

What, no links to follow? Well, then, let's see what I can dig up. Here are some fun links for the Atari 8-Bit conversion of the Atari 5200 prototype:

I have a score in the 30k area, nut i was worried my emulator was broken. The very first level the ghosts would move 3-4 steps and pause, then move 3-4 ateps and pause.

 

I was trying to verify that I wasn't running full speed, but Atari800 is reporting 60hz at 100% speed, so that must just be the way the game plays.

Yeah, I noticed that too (on NTSC also). Maybe it was my imagination but they seemed to speed up before the level ended. Or maybe I just got used to the stutter-steps...

I think that's normal. Ghosts start out slow--which means those stutter movements....then they ramp up to full speed.

How long is the pause? I'm using Altirra and it does the same but it's more of a judder than a pause.
