+therealbountybob Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 SANTA'S REVENGE & SNOWBALL (LK Avalon) We'll you must have all been naughty this year as it's two games from the punishment list Santa's Revenge and Snowball Santa's Revenge is a BASIC game but fandal's link has an XEX version of it and Snowball seems to work on NTSC under emulation so fingers crossed. Ho Ho Ho let's see those scores and that didn't even rhyme This 1 WEEK Round ends Sunday 30th December 10am UK time Merry Christmas HSCers 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Not sure what I'm doing with Santa's Revenge yet. All I do is fly and try to avoid snowflakes...can't seem to score anything and my Jolly meter runs out, but I just keep flying in the sleigh. Help? Manual?

Deteacher Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Ok, figured out Santa's Revenge. You have to fly all the way over to the right and be on the ground in order to continue on to the next level. Major bug: If you run out of energy while in the sleigh, you can still finish the level and go on to level 2. The problem is because you start with no energy, you can just walk through everything and complete the game. I went through all 10 levels and finished it. Obviously, that score wouldn't count, so here's my first legit score: 10,730! Edited December 23, 2018 by Deteacher 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Snowball: Made it to level 4. Wasn't able to get a screen grab. Watch the time and/or lives remaining and try to grab a screenshot prior to the end of game, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 Santa's Revenge 12,400 the level with 3 items coming at you looks fairly difficult! If you want to fix the JOLLY Meter so it doesn't allow the 0 life cheat from the first stage change line 950 to IF JOLLY<1 (instead of =0) There's more that could be done with this game, the code is commented so someone wanting to experiment could make some other changes, the first stage has nice animation and could be extended into a good game. Snowball is not that bad, took me a few goes to figure out I should be collecting the baubles? Sikor please translate the story Due to the lazy programming you need to be slightly left of what you are collecting. I reached the 3rd stage - we'll play for stage reached and have this as the main game with Santa's Revenge as a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Santa's Revenge - 11030 pts, level 4 Snowball - reached level 2 After a brief amount of play, I believe I still prefer Pong if it comes to Polish ball bouncing games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youxia Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) Gosh...this really is punishment Santa's is the kind of game me and my Spectrum mates would point out and snigger at Though, seeing as it's a BASIC affair, and I have my kind, 2018 hat on, it's not so bad I guess. After level 3 it gets a bit too much thou. Did 11K for now. Snowball I thought okay(ish) at first but when I saw its one of these platformers you always get returned to the level start upon death my enthusiasm melted like a....SNOWBALL! hahahaha! Ok, ok. I'll grab my coat. Edited December 25, 2018 by youxia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKong Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Made it onto level 6 of Santa's Revenge. Level 5 is empty? I presume that's how it's supposed to be. 16830 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 Made it onto level 6 of Santa's Revenge. Level 5 is empty? I presume that's how it's supposed to be. 16830 Probably nobody ever played it this much and discovered it has a bug?! When I looked at the code there were some hard coded level variants, i suspect it's probably a quick fix - will take a look later, still not happy with ski-it v1.2 I'm now re-doing the timer on the scoring system which is opening up another can of worms 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) Ok, level 6 looked fine. I thought that perhaps level 5 was a bonus round where you shoot the floaty things. After a while it finishes and you move on to level 6 Edited December 28, 2018 by McKong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Roadrunner: In Snowball, you need to land on each bottle and press fire to pick it up. Without doing that, you can't finish the level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 We'll extend this round by 24hrs until 10am Monday morning UK time - then we'll go into the final round of the season... I'll put something together Snowball Lv4 @rr - there are links on atarionline.pl for other copues of Santa's Revenge: Ataionline.pl have the BAS version (also XEX/ATR). It takes a very long time to initialize after loading even with the XEX file 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 Snowball, level 5 - I can't decide if I like this game more than I hate this game - one moment you're doing great and the next it's rapid ball destruction syndrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
