[My own stories for games]

I used to make up stories like this in my head too. Unfortunately, I can't remember them off the top of my head.

[2018 Activision Summer Patch Quest!]

Looks like I got 30 patches this year!

[Play Atari 2600 Games using QR Codes]

Ain't technology amazing?

[Season 8 Starts Oct 5 ~ Details Here]

Never played on HSC: Space Attack (difficulty a/a) along with the proposed method of tracking scores: 1 point for each of your ships remaining (9 possible) 5 points for each enemy fleet totally destroyed (20 possible)

 

 

I'd think that would be too easy of a game to tie for many players.

[2018 Activision Summer Patch Quest!]

Unfortunately, the score requirement is 35,000 points or more.

[2018 Activision Summer Patch Quest!]

Are we going to get an official count of who earned which patches?

[2018 Activision Summer Patch Quest!]

Patch #12. Oink. 25,800. Fun game but hurts hand.

 

You can say THAT again!

[2018 Activision Summer Patch Quest!]

Earned the Cross of Excellence!

[2018 Activision Summer Patch Quest!]

Entered the Order of the Supreme StarMaster and earned the rank of Leader!

[2018 Activision Summer Patch Quest!]

For the first time, a perfect run of Pitfall 2!

[2018 Activision Summer Patch Quest!]

Only made it halfway on Dolphin, but at least I joined the ranks of the Kabashers!

[Atari 2600 games that angered you to no end]

Grand Prix, that's all I can think of.

[2018 Activision Summer Patch Quest!]

Got a couple more.

 

Edit: And now I'm finally a member of the Activision Driving Team!

[2018 Activision Summer Patch Quest!]

I had no idea the cars appeared in a pattern after all these years!

[2018 Activision Summer Patch Quest!]

Can't stop, won't stop playing!

 

(While I'm thinking of it, any strategies for Grand Prix?)

[Season 8 Starts Oct 5 ~ Details Here]

My votes are for Moonsweeper, Dolphin, and Kung-Fu Master.

[2018 Activision Summer Patch Quest!]

Sorry for the absence, but between conventions and my main desktop being down, I kinda fell behind...

 

But you know Lauren, and there ain't nothing gonna break her stride! Nobody's gonna slow her down, oh no! She's got to keep on moving!

Thanks, Lauren Tyler. You push me farther than I thought I go. It was great week of competition.

Speak for yourself! You pushed me even further than I thought possible!

Scrabbler15:

 

I have tried my hardest to achieve a score difference like yours, but I just admit I am lacking in my skills at Quick Step. Perhaps with time and practice I shall gain better skills at this game, but I don't feel that, at this time, I can match your skills.

 

Thus, I hereby concede to you. You have defeated me fair and square and in a very well played manner. I congratulate you on a well played match and I wish you the best in the rest of the bracket.

 

I know there is still one day left, but given how much difficulty I have had with this game, I've found I only get more and more frustrated the more I play. So I wish to concede a day early.

 

Congratulations, Scrabbler15!

2478 - 801 = 1677

 

I guess the biggest issue is figuring out how to get a high enough score so that the score difference will be higher when the squirrel loses its last life.
