Ze_ro Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Important Note: This week's competition is over, no further scores will be accepted. However, if you still wish to discuss Quadrun and compare future scores, feel free to do so. Long ago, the peaceful land of Quad was invaded by cruel Captors who rounded up all the helpless inhabitants and imprisoned them in cages. The Captors called their prisoners "Runts". And the name has stuck. Now you've come to Quad to rescue the Runts and destroy their Captors with your special weapon: phaser balls. Game Information Game Name: Quadrun Released By: Atari, 1983 Left Difficulty: B / Novice Right Difficulty: B / Novice Game Mode: Default Chosen By: keilbaca Post your scores right here in this thread, and I will add them to the list.

What's that? You don't have the manual? Well, AtariAge has a typed and a scanned copy of the manual online. Here are the hints it provides: - When a Brat Captor attacks, run to the opposite side of the screen and "lead it on" in order to destroy it. - When a Yo-Yo rushes out, go to the spot where it first appeared and wait for it to return - like a yo-yo, it always comes back to where it started. Then hit it with your phaser ball. - If you're not in a horizontal sector when a Runt escapes from its cage, hit the closest wall in order to move quickly into the horizontal channel and catch the Runt. - If you have only one phaser ball left and a Captor is about to crash into you, fire the phaser ball (then go catch it!) so that you won't automatically lose it. --Ze_ro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I'll start off with a score 109240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 You just had to pick Quadrun, didn't you? Hoo boy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) You just had to pick Quadrun, didn't you? Hoo boy... 1005903[/snapback] Well I couldn't think of a game quick enough to beat out Cybergoth. I was going to go for Boing! but that has a nice cheating capability. At level 4, you can just bounce around on the 1st board till you roll the score. I could have picked 100m dash on Decathlon... and kill all your joysticks in the process Edited January 24, 2006 by keilbaca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) Well, the Brats spoil all the (four times) fun, don't they? Edited January 24, 2006 by Rom Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Tyler Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Well I can say next week I'm not going to be competing for long, since on Thursday I'm having my wisdom teeth out, and I'll be OOA for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hi there! Well I couldn't think of a game quick enough to beat out Cybergoth. Oh, I think I wasn't online at the time. My pick would've been Commando though BTW: How 'bout playing Winter Games during the Olympics? Don't need to make that as complicated as the Atari-lympics 2 years ago with teams and everything, Just have everyone competing for Gold/Silver/Bronze in all disciplines at once Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the 5th ghost Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I'm sorry I didn't participate during this week. I just started playing Quadrun and the game is great once you get the hang of it!
