[HSC16 Round 16: The Five Towers]

Cohen's Towers - 0 220 240 390 630 1120 1220 Very slow

[HSC16 Round 16 Poll]

Looks like we have a deadlock, maybe we can sort it out with 2nd and 3rd choices. My order of preference would be

 

1. Cohen's Towers

2. ROM

3. Preppies

4. Juice

 

Or maybe someone else will come and vote!

[HSC16 Round 15: Crownland + Conquest of the Crown]

Conquest of the Crown 52500. I was going along ok until he got a sword from somewhere and then I couldn't jump any more!

[HSC16 Round 16 Poll]

Cohen's Towers

[HSC16 Round 15: Crownland + Conquest of the Crown]

Played and completed Crownland again, lower score, 140k, so I must have done better! This time I saw the bonus round after the 2nd jungle level

[HSC16 Round 15: Crownland + Conquest of the Crown]

Ok finished Crownland. I actually found the Castle part quite tricky and it took me a while to beat it, but as Deteacher said, there are enough bonus lives to pretty much allow you to play indefinitely.

Anyway good game.

 

For what it's worth my score was 155k, but this was inflated cos I played the Castle section over and over until I beat it.

 

[HSC16 Round 15: Crownland + Conquest of the Crown]

I had a few goes at this. Didn't find it too easy. I got to the Jungle level.

[HSC16 Round 15: Crownland + Conquest of the Crown]

Perhaps we should choose another game too, or just have a short round? I would be happy for Deteacher to choose another game seeing as he broke the last one!

 

[HSC16 Round 15: Crownland + Conquest of the Crown]

Oh that's a shame, first go!

[HSC16 Round 14: Abracadabra and Pac Mad]

My Pac-Mad score was 103k not 130k

Great score, did you figure anything else out or just get lucky?

Once I wiggled round and round when in a box and it got me out, need to try this again as might just be a one off. when other things are walled in I'm still stumped!

140,240

I'm still playing it like regular pac-man which does not help!  Need to get the levels done using the pills more I think

26,470 (8)

No nothing in particular. Just tried to be as quick around the screen as possible, and collecting the keys that are more vulnerable to being boxed in first.

I thought that about the wiggling around when boxed in, cos it worked once, it never worked again!

Had a breakthrough game (after MANY crappy ones...)

 

137,160!

 

The board counter stops at 16, so who knows how many levels I actually played.  I think I might be done with this one.  Might go back to Pac-Mad and see if I can get a better score.

 

Oh, and this game broke my favorite CX-40, BTW.  Fortunately, it was only the plastic ring that holds the boot on and I have plenty of donor sticks that can fix that right up.

I didn't know the screen counter stopped at 16. I found a screenshot on highscore.com from when I played this last and thought I got to screen 16!

[HSC16 Round 14: Abracadabra and Pac Mad]

Abracadabra 55750

[HSC16 Round 14: Abracadabra and Pac Mad]

That's good going. I failed on level 10 earlier 

[HSC16 Round 14: Abracadabra and Pac Mad]

No I think that this should be 'fixed' in this game. The exit should not be blocked, at least not for longer than a certain percentage of the time remaining 

 

Pac-Mad 29120

[HSC16 Round 14: Abracadabra and Pac Mad]

Maybe we didn't play Abracadabra before? I have a score from July 2015 but can't find it in the forum. Also there's no score in the 'All time' list

[HSC16 Round 14: Abracadabra and Pac Mad]

Abracadabra

 

10910

16150

Slightly frustrating when something spawns right on top of you! Also when you can't get out of the exit cos it's blocked.

The wizards drop bombs that turn into critters or skulls when they explode, so shoot the wizards and bombs quickly. The critters re-spawn after you shoot them, the wizards and bombs don't.

 

[HSC16 Round 14: Abracadabra and Pac Mad]

Yes we played Abracadabra a few years ago, it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be

[HSC16 Round 14: Abracadabra and Pac Mad]

Yeah I did spot that, forgot to mention it though!

[HSC16 Round 14 Poll]

Abracadabra and Pac-Mad for me
