the current HSC game is frogger, save that poor froggie!

On behalf of my nephew Nathan, his selection has us hopping for the other side. Any game is allowed to be played.. Scores will be accepted until Sunday, June 8th @ noon central HSC Scoreboard - Frogger (Accurate as of 1:29am 6/8/2014 Post #34) cparsley - 48,250 scalpel - 33,480 darthkur - 30,900 S.BAZ - 15,690 felson42 - 10,690 Intellifan - 10,250 roadrunner - 9,130 HSC5 Leaderboard - Thru 5 games cparsley - 43 ignorama - 26 scalpel - 21 S.BAZ - 19 gavvv - 18 JasonlikesINTV - 17 felson42 - 14 darthkur - 14 1980gamer - 10 LidLikesIntellivision - 9 ed1475 - 9 JacobZu7zu7 - 6 Intellfan - 5 roadrunner - 4 jblenkle - 4 mphokie - 2 Hints and Tips - Frogger (Intellivision) (Personal notes on the game) It seems that they only programmed three levels for this game, as level 4 returns to the level 1 easy layout of cars/water section, with just the addition of the snake/croc/otter. So if one can get by level 3, you should be able to make level 6 without much effort, helping to boost the scores. Also, the level selection is not as one would think. Level 1 is the classic game (but with wraparound in the water section). Due to the Intellivision's paging and/or programming as it was done, this can cause the frog to be off the log/croc/turtle and be on the water instead. However, the game only makes a check if the player is safe or not upon moving, so as long as your next hop puts Frogger on a safe spot, you are fine. *In other words, ignore the manual's wording that you have to hop quickly, as being safe trumps a quick hop* Level 2 is placing the game at Level #4 of Frogger (1st pattern, with the croc/snake/otter). The wraparound still remains. Level 3 copies level 1 setup, while Level 4 copies level 2's setup, with the only difference is going off the right side now results in death, instead of wraparound. As much as the nostalgic side of you may want to listen to the frogger theme at the start of the level, don't, as the timer starts ticking as soon as the game is drawn. Yes, unlike the arcade version the theme stops immediately upon moving, it's better than having your time clock run (and lower your scores and/or death) Any other hints, share to all

Game is closed, next game posted by end of day.

Finally got one that didn't glitch the game at this point.. damn mother ship worse than the bridge finish of Tropical Trouble (aka beyond a f-load of shots to even get 1 piece of the shield off!) 33,295

come on in, the water is fine.

track 3.. paring time off but not enough to catch the leader.. enjoy the win

tried with other cars, the 4/5 blue/tan connection blew chunks (+1.5 minutes off green time on track 1) Then started with red, here's tracks 1-2

Since 1980gamer did last chance racing, I figured Id give her another shot... here's tracks 2-5.. Race on!

Leaderboard is updated, and the time limit has been extended by 24 hours (1 day) to allow those who wish to play catchup to do so... No additional extensions will occur.

will be getting a leaderboard (at least of some sense up today) dont know if going to do a full 5 track board or a per track board for now.

Going to extend it a week due to the Easter holiday, scores will be accepted thru April 27th RACE ON!

ok, that sucked... the battery in this old 2006 Gatway laptop Ive been using dead last Sunday, so havent been back on until now, and even with the replacement it wont charge higher than 3%... In the meantime let me get a new game up before I'm offline for a week again.

Game going up tomorrow... finally took her out of the hospital and she's staying with me.. sorry for the delay

Hiya all, my mom is trying to get out the ICU unit at present time, but regardless of that I will have a new game up for everyone tomorrow (Monday)... Thanks for your consideration.

Sorry about not closing it earlier but my mother went to the hospital in ICU... Scores posted before Noon Central Sunday are accepted. Will have new game up shortly.

Im not 100% sure of what you mean by "see the level process"... Camping has always been against this HSC's rules, and if caught, sores would be DQ'ed, and other situations can occur depending on the severity. Thank god we have never had the issue on this HSC in five seasons, and would expect everyone to be fine and fair in all attempts, as it's not like were playing for a million bucks... Also, the game wasnt chosen due to your pic, but nice one btw... it's due to me trying to pick games that haven't been played in previous HSC's, and to remove bias from my selection I started at the bottom of the INTV name list (hence Zaxxon and then Worm Whomper).. had to skip a few sport titles to come to Tut, and it wasn't due to not liking sport titles, but it was either 2 player only, ECS needed (World Series Major League Baseball) or way to easy and we'd really have blow out scores... (World Championship Baseball). The "Nice Ideas" made "World Cup Football" didn't start up on the copies I have so unable to test the playability of it for a HSC.

101,700 opening gauntlet...
