+therealbountybob Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Holy cow you guys are good. I'm lucky if I get to Neptune I thought about joining in, but I'll just embarrass myself. Fun watching the scores though! Good luck all. This is the HSC's "slippery slope", so don't be shy my friend bluecat is playing to encourage everyone to join in. By the end of the round there will be a full spread of scores. If you want to post a score for Jr Pac-Man too then go ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Not a bad showing on my first man...Then I got nervous and lost all my lives for another measly 12,000 points. Edited February 17, 2015 by jetset 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblenkle Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Gyruss - 25,500 Can anyone tell me what keypress takes a screenshot using Altirra? I can't find any mention of it in any of the menus and had to do a "print screen" of my computer screen to get a screenshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find any mention of it in any of the menus and had to do a "print screen" of my computer screen to get a screenshot. It's Alt-F10 (the HSC's beginners guide has this and other tips for altirra config) p.s. hand-drawn screenshots are ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballyalley Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'm having great difficulty with this game. I'm stuck in the 30,000 point range. Hints, please. You'll save me plenty of frustration and early hair loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'm having great difficulty with this game. I'm stuck in the 30,000 point range. Hints, please. You'll save me plenty of frustration and early hair loss. I started having more success with this game when I stopped trying to hit everything that appeared on the screen as quickly as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some detailed hints on gameplay on an earlier post (and details on the "Asteroid bug") - I've added links to it on first post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIO2 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) 238,950 I made it to Earth and beyond. I started out trying to play on my NTSC XEGS with an Atarimax 8mbit flash cart. I tried the Fandal version and another version and neither would boot. I the tried the Polish VBXE fix XEX. It boots on XEGS but I got the asteroid bug two consecutive games plus the bonus round ship patterns were out of sequence. Then I remembered where I put my actual Parker Bros. Gyruss cart. The real cart worked perfectly on my XEGS. So the score posted is from an actual Gyruss cart on XEGS (NTSC).
