2 month and 4 days... thats nothing.

Got stuff from him (years ago).  Better than the Vectrex game I've been waiting for for almost 9 YEARS.

[Colecovision Season 14 - Round 11- Root Beer Tapper]

Another 6th/7th place score.  (Oh and I finally got Zenji working on the Phoenix...a few days late...)

 

49925

[Colecovision HSC Season 14 - Round 10 - Zenji]

Can't get this to work in emulation (and a fun game) so I tried my Phoenix.  No dice - the SD card is 'bad' (micro is OK).  I'll have to see if it lets me play with the 1st core (no game sound)

[Colecovision HSC Season 14 - Round 10 - Zenji]

Fun game...

 

Checking the old records...

 

 

I see I got to 38,910 back in the day...  Can this count? 😁  

 

(seeing that I have computer punch cards should count as a point!!!) - Gads I'm old...

 

 

Anyone here recognize these? (outside of computer museums?)

If I recall... one of the other threads, ages were mentioned..  Stuff like 'I'm old' 35, 29, 41  😖   (at the time I was around 59-60).

 

Anyway one of the 'older' people here frequently.  67 years 4 months...

 

So... HELL yea bonus points for age!  😀

I hope the 31 in @JEFF31 isn’t your birth year...better yet, a 90 year old kickin ass on Colecovision is newsworthy...

Long story short.  Nah.

 

Longer story.  When setting up my AA account eons ago I think I typed 'JEFF-3' (A longer story in itself as why that...).  As I recall it didn't like the dash so I deleted it moved the cursor, some how hit 1 then enter...  Hence JEFF31.

[Colecovision HSC Season 14 - Round 9 - Keystone Kapers]

I'm going to suggest a round where the rules apply but you get to add you age to the final score!  I want a chance to WIN!

I'm a 'billion' years old btw....!  LOL

 

Slow reflexes.... non existent memory... (Wait - What/Why am I typing this!)

 

It's a pain to get old... very much so when you play video games...

 

Hey - how about this...?

over 60 +10

over 50 +1

under 50 -10

THAT'S FAIR!!!

 

YOU young punks like to beat up us old men!!!

 

 

Wait - I think I've suggested this before!

If so - uhmmm.. never mind....

 

That being said... I'm impressed with the scores I see in these rounds (and former ones). 

I was never one to 'figure patterns / strategies' etc.   I just 'dropped' another quarter in the slot and played the best that I could.

 

GAME ON!

14200.  Don't think I'll get to much higher that that... reflexes (and memory) not so hot anymore...

[Colecovision HSC Season 14 - Round 9 - Keystone Kapers]

7900.  Not much of a game IMHO.  Run, Jump and Duck would be a better title.

[Colecovision HSC Season 14 - Round 8 - Frogger ll: Three Deep!]

Up to 18991.  Gets hard on the third level (where I lost all of my lives!)

Without “giving anything away”...yes. I had to rtfm too for this game. Whoda thunk right. The first one was so straight forward haha. 

Thanks!  I had actually read the manual but didn't quite get what they were saying!

 

Anyway now at 15957.

 

Jeff

[Colecovision HSC Season 14 - Round 8 - Frogger ll: Three Deep!]

7408 - and I ain't getting any higher without knowledge of how to complete screen 3...  Tried everything I could think of!  Does the manual give a hint?

[Colecovision HSC Season 14 - Round 8 - Frogger ll: Three Deep!]

Agree fakecortex!  6048 for me

[Colecovision HSC Season 14 - Round 7 - Cosmic Avenger]

7290 last night but the internet went out.  Oh well.

I've got you down for 2, thanks!

BTW - If your making 'X' controllers and someone chimes in wanting one but your at 'X' - I'll gladly give up one of mine to that person!

Jeff31, I added you to the list. Let me know if you decide on 1 vs 2. I've got about 6 more available before I have to consider doing a 3rd run of these, which I may or may not do.

Make it 2!  (if you still have some!)

[Colecovision HSC Season 14 - Round 7 - Cosmic Avenger]

1st try (after 30 years...) 7100.  My records (old computer punch cards... show my HS was 18490 Lvl 1)

[New Lynx Games For Sale]

I'd be interested in one of the Shadow of the Beast games

[Colecovision HSC Season 14 - Round 6 - Ms. Pac-Man]

Unfortunately I won't be able to play (unless I setup my phoenix or CV sitting 12 inches from my face!).  My emulator (pretty old) won't open the rom.

[Vectrex Custom Controller]

I would be down for one (maybe 2 - having 2 consoles...)

[Colecovision HSC Season 14 - Round 5 - Tarzan]

41500 - do not like this game.   

 

I also remembered that this was a game I had time to play in one of the rounds years ago. I stayed on screen 'one' to see if I could defeat the ape(?).  After about 50 punches I got bored (and 10 minutes of time) and moved on.  My scored counted but this was deemed 'parking' even though nothing (at the time) says you need to move forward.  I did not do that here.  Still a bad game - I'm sure current programmers could make this game better.

As mentioned controls are weird.
