128bytes Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Does it matter which of the three minigames are played, or is it up to us to choose after the end of each round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 o.O That... is an odd game to pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Ze_ro, I know you might have been in a rush, but here are some things to consider: -The game was released in 1983 by Atari. -You could put this for the intro text like you usually do: "Space, the swine-full frontier! These are the hogs of the starship Swinetrek: the ineffectual Link Hogthrob, the carefully manicured First Mate Piggy, and the inexplicable Dr. Julius Strangepork. Your mission: to protect the galaxy from the villainous Gonzo, because this week's game is Pigs in Space!" (sure I copied it from the box, but there's no intro in the manual.)

vdub_bobby Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 14000. The space invaders minigame is ridiculously easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 18260, and tahts including screwing up bad at the miss piggy stage. All i gotta say, is that if this game rolls at 99,990, there's gonna be a lot of people maxing this out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the 5th ghost Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 First score: 67,118 Not sure about tips for this one. It's pretty straight forward. It seems that the Vangaurd stage has the most point potential but it takes longer to finish. The Miss Piggy stage has the fewest points (1,000) but it's so quick that you can rack up the points there faster. The Space Invaders stage also has a high point potential but it takes up time, and the speed picks up pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Thag Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Man, another game I don't gave *grumbles*. Ah well, maybe next week.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Tyler Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Well, not bad for a first try I suppose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panda_racer Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 22,450 i friggin hate muppets. they're too creepy, and really lame. the game is okay though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Does it matter which of the three minigames are played, or is it up to us to choose after the end of each round? 856767[/snapback] I am confused by this as well. I mean, I can play the Space Invaders level all night and roll this quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panda_racer Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 41,990! about 25,000 of that is from the karate chopping meatballs round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the 5th ghost Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Hehe! Quick hint folks... It does NOT roll at 100K maybe 1 million.... But yeah, this game is pretty easy, even without the ability to gain an extra life. Fun anyways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Yeah it doesn't roll at 100k. We'll see how high I can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 Does it matter which of the three minigames are played, or is it up to us to choose after the end of each round? If the game lets you choose, then choose whichever you want. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the 5th ghost Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Ok, drum roll............ 1,001,412 It rolls at 1,000,000 I have to quit here, no more pigs for me I played all three games to their maximum difficulty just to break the monotony. Have fun with this one folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc74 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Too much work and not enough free time for me lately. Anyway, here's a quick submission for this week. Maybe I'll get time to work on it later... 13984 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KaeruYojimbo Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 93,602 is my best so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I couldn't sleep last night, so I played until I flipped the score (1,000,000) , then pulled out the game and popped in Thrust+ to regain some sanity. Since this is an um...unorthodox pick, does this mean I can choose Skeet Shoot when it's my turn to pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
