NE146 Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Awesome.. Now that's some DEDICATION my friend How long did that take? As Nigel would say: "How much higher can you go? The answer is none... none more higher" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitfall Harry Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 Thanks, it wasn't easy. It took me two months of intense playing to work my high score up from about 70K to the 999999 mark. The game itself took about an hour and 20 minutes to play. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fretwobbler Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Well done Pitfall Harry! I cant believe it only took 1 hr 20 mins to finish! When ive hit a measly ~300K I could swear its taken longer than that! I'm in awe of anyone who can max out that game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiggerthehun Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Was the VCR on top of the TV there to record it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 great job and picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Was the VCR on top of the TV there to record it?Not a TV. It's a C64 monitor. If it's anything like my setup, the VCR is there to convert RF input to composite output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cootster Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 And this is what you spent all the time you weren't posting doing? Really nice . . . I'd never have the patience to pull that one off . . . Heck, the only things I've ever rolled over were Dancing Plate and Genesis Madden . . .

hex65000 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Holy cow! You've caught that man, and picked up a Wico Joystick! I have to admit... collecting developers is pretty hard core. Which company did he work for? Seriously, great job on the hi score. Hex. [ Say goodnight Gracie... ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocko Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Dang! That is great! Hey, when did you come back? I thought you left. Either way I could never do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitfall Harry Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 Thanks to all for your congrats. Yes, I use the VCR to convert the RF signal to composite output for my Commodore 1701 monitor. But I also used the VCR to record the game to tape. Sorry I can't post more frequently. I don't have internet service. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uosipa llamxew Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Sorry I can't post more frequently. I don't have internet service. I'm not sure if you have a computer to access the net or not, but Netzero and Juno offer 10 hours of free service per month - you just have to deal with their connection software and commercial advertisements. Or also, I am using a service called Access4Less (access4less.com). Service is like 5.95 per month, and is much better than the service I was getting from Netzero. You can't beat the price for sure.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Don't you have something like what we call "Call-By-Call"? You don't need any contract or pay a monthly fee, you just pay for the minutes you are surfing (~0.6 - 1.0 ct). So all you need is a phone and a modem.
