Opry99er Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Tonight I tried two games... Grand Prix: 4 plays, best 0:41 (close...) Seaquest: 3 plays, best 24,730 (not close...) Shame I am getting to this thread late... Would like to have had a full season to try some games out. I believe I actually WANT to get SeaQuest... That game is becoming addicting. first go round I scored 8800 plus some change... Second time through it was 19K and some change. Third time around, the score you see. I believe with some practice, 50K isnt out of range. Edited August 27, 2015 by Opry99er 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthkur Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Darthkur, your Dolphin score is NOT enough to earn "Friends of Dolphins" patch. You MUST score at least 80,000 points. To get a special patch (Secret Society of Dolphins), you must reach 300,000 points. It took me 20 minutes to reach this ultimate score on Dolphin - I jumped over the seahorses on later waves. Oh shit. Don't know how I got that mixed up. Thanks for the heads up. Will have to try that one over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthkur Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Enduro - 5th Day (756 miles) Skiing - 0:28.07 This was the game before the one above. Imagine how frustrating that felt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Enduro 5 days is amazing... I cannot do it. Day 3 is my best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Ha! I suppose this has been a rather pricey thread to get hooked on... Indeed. Speaking of the patches though, have you, or anyone else here for that matter, ever hear any cases of people making pirated Activision patches? I Wondering if that's something I have to worry about when searching for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Enduro 5 days is amazing... I cannot do it. Day 3 is my best. Thanks. It took me a lot of tries to finally get it with an abundance of "road rage" to go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Thanks. It took me a lot of tries to finally get it with an abundance of "road rage" to go with it. I know how you feel, I had plenty of it myself. On the other hand I always crack-up at the sound effect when the game is over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthkur Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!! Starmaster - 7,695 (Wing Commander) This was way harder than any of the other levels. You must shoot quickly and accurately the horde of enemy fighters that surround the Starbase in the lower right hand corner of the radar screen. This has to be done in order to prevent that base from being destroyed. If it is the 500 point penalty makes a score of over the required 7,600 impossible. Doing this using my original light sixer and the original cart I bought in the 80's makes it even more special. (To me anyway) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Laser Blast - 1,000,000 !!!!!! (game 3) I really didn't think I'd ever do this. My hands are sore for it. Doubt I'll ever do it again, but I said that about doing it in the first place. Laser Blast was the first Activision game I ever bought. So it only took me about 34 years to accomplish this patch. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Wow... I tried it last night for a few minutes... Couldn't get the feel for it--- only a few thousand points... Kept getting whacked and falling from the sky. Wasn't even worth posting about. A mil is ridiculous. Great job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and a lot of determination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome job!! I knew you would go for it! I did it on game 1 and it took 5 hours. It was the longest gaming session I did in over 12 years and I almost crashed out asleep a few times. It probably took 2-3 hours in game 3. I probably won't be playing this game for quite some time. It was too tedious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was too tedious. All I know is that it took almost 4 full albums to play through. About 2 1/2 I think. I got nervous a few times that I wasn't going to make it when I lost a few too many ships here and there. Would have been a real kick in the ass to get really far and then get killed. Don't know if I would have ever tried again if that would of happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
