NIKON Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) 2017 - 2018 7800 HSC Season Game 4 SCRAMBLE Settings: NORMAL / HARD Contest Ends Midnight (PST) October 29th 2017 Welcome to ROUND 4! You will notice that there are two settings this round...starting with this round and every 4th round in this season we are going to have sort of a team round. How this works is that everyone will submit two scores side by side..one played on NORMAL and the other on HARD. Then at the end of the round I will combine the scores of the first place score with the last place score on a separate table and then the second place score with the next to last place score..and so on down the line...depending on where the scores place both persons will receive the same amount of points as a boost to the STANDINGS table. All posted scores will receive the normal points as usual. Example: Player 1 submits 45821 / 29453 Player 11 submits 29451 / 1500 Player 1 would receive 11 points for placing first Player 11 would receive 1 point Then I would combine both players scores and place TEAM 1 score on a table Table points are as follows 10 boost points for both players placing first down to 1 So Player 1 and Player 11 would get 10 addition points added to their current standing. In case of an odd number of scores then I will just double the odd score. GOOD LUCK!!!!! Usual rules.

Skippy B. Coyote Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) Is it my lucky month or something? Last round we played Centipede, which is my favorite original production Atari 7800 game, and now this round we're playing Scramble; my favorite homebrew Atari 7800 game! Anyhoo, time to fire off an opening volley over the Stern...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) @JIN, CONGRATULATIONS on being the current record-breaker on 7800 Scramble Normal. Thank you Oyamafamily! I haven't been able to break my previous Normal record of 120,680 yet but I'm still trying. Making it to the 5th mission again is really tough, but I'm having a lot of fun trying.

Making it to the 5th mission again is really tough, but I'm having a lot of fun trying. So I should aim for the 120k. Great record and a good goal for me. Of course, that's not easy. EDIT -- After the inspirational Jin's 120k score and some tries, I only could get around 70k normal and 36k hard...

DrMooCowz Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I've still been trying, but haven't improved my score yet! Only thing I've figured out is there seems to be better places to die than others if you're just looking for a score boost. But, then you'd have to actively choose to die and won't progress to get a potentially bigger score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I've figured out is there seems to be better places to die than others if you're just looking for a score boost. But, then you'd have to actively choose to die and won't progress to get a potentially bigger score. The best tip I can offer is to stay as close to the ground as possible during the 3rd stage and only pop up to fly over the hills when it looks like there's a break in the low flying meteors. There's no definite pattern to them so you'll still get hit sometimes when you go to fly over a hill even if it looks like you have an opening, but for the most part you'll live a lot longer if you stay low. Speaking of staying low, the bottom 50% of your ship is invincible to terrain so keep that in mind when skimming the ground during the 3rd stage and navigating the maze in the 5th stage.
