7800 HSC Season 5 - Game 13 !Commando!
Jifremok replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 7800 High Score Club
First week: Pitiful scores and procrastination. Second week: More procrastinating and forgetting that a week had already passed. Now, I try succeeded for a personal goal of getting past the first fortress! 39,200 -
7800 HSC Season 5 - Game 12 !Scrapyard Dog!
Jifremok replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 7800 High Score Club
Okay, that's enough procrastinating for me. Scrapyard Dog: 60,050 That first sewer level was quite a barricade. Of course, now that I'm past that I'm dying at the second sewer. Xevious: 198,890 So close to 200k... and now I can't go back to Intermediate, which used to be my usual playing level for this game. New score: 230,180 so close...! -
7800 HSC Season 5 - Game 11 !Summer Games - Hat Trick!
Jifremok replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 7800 High Score Club
Some updates to my progress. I doubt I'm going to make any further improvements in an hour. Hat Tricl: 16 Hat Trick expert: 6! I'm surprised at this. 100m dash: 18.72! Gymnastics: 10.9; I'm happy to have just gotten a successful landing and achieved a double-digit score. Freestyle Relay: 3:22.7! -
7800 HSC Season 5 - Game 11 !Summer Games - Hat Trick!
Jifremok replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 7800 High Score Club
Another round of HSC is coming to a close, which means it's time for my late entries! First event, one-on-one hocket where a Hat Trick is a really low score! I've had 8 goals during the second attempt. (On the first attempt, my emulator's input settings were still geared for Robotron; it threw me off and started a 2-player game!) I've decided to name my Olympic character in tribute to one of the greatest video athletic heroes of all time... Platform diving: 316.30 *bonus* 100 mm dash: 19.04 Gymnastics: 6.3 Freestyle Relay: 3:26.1 100M Freestyle: 0:51.1 -
7800 HSC Season 5 - Game 10 !Arcade Pack!
Jifremok replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 7800 High Score Club
what you could do, is play Robotron until you hold, the top spot which would be around 500ks, then take a pic and quit there... If only I'd read that post before I played. Fortunately, I underestimated the power of apathy and died just short of a million (to be updated in previous post). This game just aint the same in emulation, I tells ya. And now to flatten the good guys in Choplifter! -
7800 HSC Season 5 - Game 10 !Arcade Pack!
Jifremok replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 7800 High Score Club
Between me being currently in a burnout phase and my 7800's power supply being much worse than that, I just hadn't much felt like playing these games lately. I forced myself to start late today, though, so that's something. Mario Bros - 54,470 Centipede - 31,007 Choplifter - 46 Robotron - 993,100 (Edited to add Robotron score to make a complete posting.) -
2012 Harmony Games-Last round - Seaweed Assault
Jifremok replied to Dan Iacovelli's topic in 2600 High Score Club
I picked a bad time to fire up my cart. I had to stop at around the 10k mark due to time constraints. And I decided to move my Atari and a bunch of games (including Seaweed Assault) to a friend's house where the game ought to get some more exposure whenever there isn't some four-player medieval mayhem going about. I'll try again on emulation sometime. -
PS3 version user here. Downloaded the DLC packs, installed them, could not find the tables in the menu. Had to download the Pinball Arcade demo as though it were a separate file from the full game, no problems afterward. No deleting or any other hoop-jumping required. Here's what told me to download the demo: http://pinballarcadefans.com/content.php/162-First-Two-Sets-Of-DLC-Tables-Arrive-On-The-PS3-(NA)

7800 HSC Season 5 - Game 8 !Pac-Collection!
Jifremok replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 7800 High Score Club
Sadly, hadn't had the time to play these games. So, participation points. Pac-Man: 71,140 Ms. Pac-Man: 75,610 -
7800 HSC Season 5 - Game 7 !Crossbow!
Jifremok replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 7800 High Score Club
1,164,000 This is easily the worst adventuring party I've seen this side of the Neglected Realms. ...it is, however, a very accurate foretelling of how adventuring parties work in later games. -
Reactor: 32,688 Mountain King: 114,150 I've been winding down by...um...not playing much Atari. Guess I got burned out during the finals. Reactor was fairly new to me, and it's good to have a reason to play it seriously. I haven't dedicated much time to reaching my potential yet, though. Mountain King gives me a bit of nostalgia since it was one of the first games I played at AtariAge HSC. Just one play to get the rust off, and one more to nab a spot on the chart. I know I can do better than that, too.

And down I go in yet another final. A hearty congrats to Toymailman for winning the finals. What a shame I didn't bet any money on this. Congrats to Deteacher and Vocelli for winning their games. Too bad I didn't win a single one. And thanks to the other participants, especially the ones who continues to play well after their elimination. And also to late showers who seem like they're gonna kick some ass next season. And to Oyama and Liduario for getting between me and Toymailman (see ranking post above) and showing that finalists aren't guaranteed to stay at the top of the heap. Buck Rogers feels in many ways what I'd already known Sega to do in recent days, having good general gameplay marred by glitches and unpolishedness. Crazy Climber is...well, crazy. I always struggled with them girders, and always felt lucky whenever I survived a part here those kept falling. And where the hell are those girders coming from anyway? Enduro, I'm not really convinced that it's a race. Everyone else drives at some liesurely pace, and you're the only maniac on the road zooming past everything. I love how it's possible to recover from mistakes. Then again, I tend to dislike games that ask players to be PERFECT. Ms Pac-Man was something I'd never bothered to give a chance since I thought it was just the same ol' Ms Pac-Man that I already have on 7800. I was wrong, this feels very different. Too bad the "endgame" makes you need to be lucky with the fruit to score high.

Oops! I forgot that this was a two-week showing, and I also forgot about Expert. Well, I'll try Expert later. 47,140 on Adept EDIT: Rather than double-post, I'm editing in a new score: 29,955 on Expert
-
A late and low showing for me this game. 24,735 Never really was that good at Q*Bert.

Held off on posting until getting notable improvement in at least one game. Buck Rogers: 1,291,648 Crazy Climber: 211,500 Enduro: no improvement Ms Pac Man: 81,150 My latest and greatest Ms Pac Man game was actually beneath my current highscore---it kept getting rubbish fruits like cherries and oranges.

7800 HSC Season 5 - Game 5 !Donkey Kong Jr.!

121,900 Surprised it took me this long to get a score to be satisfied with. Too bad I didn't have much time for this game. -
Atari 2600 Knockout SEMI FINALS: PRESSURE COOKER
Jifremok replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 2600 High Score Club
So, how many condiments has everyone needed to reject before getting good ones? I've hit a personal record of needing to reject seven consecutive wrong condiments. Luckily this was the first level so I actually had time for that proper 8th condiment and the bun. And, since I'm already fired, better make the most of it. -
Atari 2600 Knockout SEMI FINALS: PRESSURE COOKER
Jifremok replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 2600 High Score Club
OWWW. I felt that one. I've made two more attempts today and both of them were not far from my personal best (one of which was less than a hundred short of Jacob's best), and just tried again only to blank out on the first level. Guess I'm done too. EDIT: Argh, I just can't keep this down. Too close to the end. Must endure tedious first 100k! EDIT: Argh, blanked out again and screwed u p in the first level. This game's become insufferable. -
Atari 2600 Knockout SEMI FINALS: PRESSURE COOKER
Jifremok replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 2600 High Score Club
238475 I haven't put nearly as many attempts into this game as I should have, considering what my scores were (not shown) before I breached 200k. Nothing like getting your fancy culinary degree and chef hat only to wind up assembling burgers on a conveyor belt, aided only by a malfunctioning condiment dispenser. And even though it's always that machine's fault you had to let a burger drop it's still your ass on the line. Something tells me that a sequel to this game might be a shooter. -
7800 HSC Season 5 - Game 4 !Rampage!
Jifremok replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 7800 High Score Club
How could you die in this one? Your picture is perfect! That? I was down to a sliver of health when my next meal shot me. (The building is missing because a dynamite guy blew it up.)
