+InsaneMultitasker Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I forgot how dodgy the collision detection can be around the turns! I have only been able to make it through lap #4 so far on Novice level using Classic99 on my thinkpad x201. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi everyone! As Ciro explained, I could not connect to the internet for a couple of days, during which I achieved my best score... Not enough to win, but now that Ferrari is doing well in F1 at least one Italian score had to be registered! :-) And you lnow, Ciro is too busy with useful stuff :-) score4.bmp 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Vorticon Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Gosh that game is tough. I had tried it in the past and I could just barely get past the first level... Beautifully crafted game though, a masterpiece. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globeron Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 New score: 24075, just made level 2 The best is to play with a Joystick. (Classic 99) (just landed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globeron Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Rasmus - it would be nice to take the screenshot of the playing field with the high score. (now it disappears very fast) Score: 30.000 Level 2 (with the big airplane and ship it is very hard). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmusr Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Rasmus - it would be nice to take the screenshot of the playing field with the high score. (now it disappears very fast) Thanks for choosing my game for the competition . I think you have 5 seconds before the game over screen will disappear. This should be enough to pause Classic99 so you can take a screenshot. But if you need a longer delay you can open the bin file in a hex editor and change the word at address 295c from 012c to a bigger number. 20 seconds, for instance, would be 04b0. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Tip for MAME players: Press <ScrlLock>*, then <F12> to create a snapshot. The snapshots are in the subfolder snap/ti99_4a in your MAME folder. (*Unless you reassigned the mode key to another key, which you have to press.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
