Guys,

 

I have looked and looked and looked, it doesn't appear this game has been played yet in the HSC unless I am missing something? So I would guess there would be a +2 bonus for setting a new record? 🤷‍♂️

 

Also, here is the overlay just in case it is needed. 👍

 

Then   the actual record is   9730.

Unbelievable score by Mangia-Boy for eternity.

Last week I tried to improve my Joust (Prototype) score.

I would like to see this game once in the HSC, I wonder which scores are reached by good CV players.

Thank God, we got this cow off the ice.

Will there be a poll for the next round?

I was better in dir&tongue  than in disc  level

 

 

[5200 HSC Season 13 Round 19 - Joust]

Only a little improvement, only in points not in the ranking. Attacking Cafeman's scores is not realistic for me.

Joust Advanced     ---     82,200

Difficult game for me. I hope to climb at least the 100K threshold.

 

I think Joust is a game, where you can reach high scores when you were already playing it as kid. (Unfortunately I had no 5200 or Atari computer at that time)

In the childhood you have enough time to learn steering the oystrichs exactly.

Now you have to toss  a coin. 

For example: 

Heads=Joust,  Tails=SuperCobra,  Edge= Countermeasure

I always failed to survive the stages with maze 3.

So reaching maze 4 this time is my ambitious goal.

[Intellivision HSC Season 13 - Game 7 - Pitfall!]

I played Pitfall a lot in my childhood, when it came out. But my mistake at that time was that I played it like a usual Jump 'n Run game.  I never found treaures in the underground.

The maximum in this way is about 75.000, I think.

Now I know that you have to memorize the stages and shorten your way to reach 120.000. But in my age I don't have the time and stamina to do this.

 

Of course it's a classic, but no top game.

Avoiding the enemies is too easy, and I don't like that a video game ends like a hockey match after a period of 20 minutes.
