So as it turns out it's actually the original steering cart that I need? I have two carts for auto racing but they are both apparently the revised steering. I learned the old way and cannot unlearn it. There is an auto racing cart on ebay that says 'Hong Kong 1979' on the back, looks like triangle screws. Does that have a good chance of being the original auto racing cart? 🤷‍♂️

Yeah sounds great but I'll never be able to pull it off. That damn seal is relentless and the only way for me to stop him when he's on my line is to go into water... If there's no water yet then I'm doomed.... I got 15k last week and haven't been close to that since.... Hard game....

My Ice Trek Update: Did a little better this time. I got to level 3. I managed to fully complete 2 ice bridges and came close to completing the 3rd one, but Vali froze and I was done. Building the ice bridge is pretty frustrating. I will never be able to video this game cuz it's a TOTAL swear-a-thon..... 😝 7,350

Slap Shot Update: Had a sweet game scoring-wise and my defense played a little better than last game too. My goalie was awful though, but the computer's was MUCH worse.....😝 My scoring per period was 16 - 11 - 16... 🏒🎄🎅 FINAL Score 43-11; Biggest Blowout Differential = 32 32

No issues with this game for me, just hard... My only issues tonight are with Twin Galaxies, lol right Matt? HHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!! 😝👎

Yeah building the ice bridge is a complete nightmare. I was able to do it on the first go-around and I got close on the 2nd round and then a fast and BIG iceberg came thru and destroyed me.... 😡👎

My Ice Trek Update: This is first time I've ever played this game... The game is pretty cool, but making the Ice Bridge is painfully hard even on the easiest level.... 🥶 4,190

My First Crack at Christmas Carol: Very hard game... Fun, but HARD!!! 🥺 431

Lol I had NO IDEA!!! the overlay I posted doesn't seem to say anything about it.... 👎

Nice, what does the 6 in the top right hand corner mean?

Thin Ice Update: Not completely sure what I'm doing, but this is already my best game ever.... 😜 15,250

Slap Shot Update: Let's Get This Party Started.... I went off in the 1st period. Got half my goals in the 1st and then it pretty much leveled off after that... 😜🎄🎅 FINAL Score 39-15; Biggest Blowout Differential = 24 24

Hello InTV Gamers: The HSC Holiday Triple Pack w/ Bonus Game is now LIVE!!! I am hoping for this to be an annual thing at Christmas time. This Holiday Triple Pack will be used going forward to help us CRAZY InTV gamers get through the dreaded down time between seasons. 😜 This year's inaugural run will have the theme of 'Winter Games', meaning all 4 games will be of the Winter variety. They are as follows: Game 1 - Christmas Carol - Help save Christmas Game 2 - Thin Ice - Duncan the Penguin is on Thin Ice Game 3 - Ice Trek - You are Vali the Avenger on a perilous ice trek to prevent a devastating Ice Age. Bonus game - Slap Shot Super Pro Hockey or NHL Hockey - You can either play against the computer (Slap Shot) or against another player (NHL Hockey). Post a screen shot of the ending score. Biggest point differential wins the most points. For example, if you beat the computer or another player 13-5, then your differential score is 8. Bonus game points will be +7, down to +1 for participation. Scoring will be the same as it was in Season 13 - 13 points all the way down to 1 point, 10 point metric is skipped. +2 points will be awarded for each game winner. (+1 for the bonus game winner). +3 will be awarded for breaking and setting new records. +2 for breaking old records. +1 for tying old records. These games will run for 3 weeks and will end New Year's Eve when the Ball drops in NYC. GOODBYE 2020!!! All games can be played at whatever level you want to play at. Obviously if there's an easy level and that will generate the most points, then there you go. Play at your leisure and have some good holiday InTV gaming fun..... 👍 All posting will be in this one thread. All you have to do is post a pic of your score and you are entered. As far as I can tell these are the HSC records for the 3 games. Christmas Carol 14,034 pts; Thin Ice 440,510 pts; Ice Trek 34,220 pts. There is no HSC record for Hockey yet so the winner of this bonus game will be the new record so essentially the Hockey game winner will be getting 11 points..... +7, +1, +3.... (NOTE: Please play either against the computer or against another player). Here are the overlays for all 5 games (playing 4 games).... ENJOY and Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays / Happy New Year to all.... 🤶🎄🎅 @IntyFanMatt @BiffMan @JacobZu7zu7 @mr_me @Ace24 @fakecortex @Player One @popsicle @gar0u @hoosierdadee78 @Intelligentleman @roadrunner @jblenkle @JasonlikesINTV @Mangia-Boy @wolfy62 @ed1475 @Oscar G. @Jimmy KDawg @S.BAZ @dpisacane @cmadruga @Bamse @Ignorama @m-crew @ClassicGMR @felson42 @cparsley @mr_intv @gezkc @darthkur @patbb @Intymike @scalpel @Mister VCS

For me, Sewer Sam is the absolute worst InTV game. It doesn't shoot right, the point of the gun is all off, I just hate it..... Feels like it must have cost $10 bucks to make the cartridge, lol.... 😝

I have two Auto Racing carts. They both say 'Mattel Inc, 1979 USA' on the bottom and they both have Phillips screws on the bottom. Unfortunately they are BOTH the old steering which is also used on the original Flashbacks. I now have two Ultimate Flashbacks which thankfully has the Revised Steering... I'm in the market for a Revised Steering rom (cartridge) of Auto Racing if anyone is selling one, Jason, please PM me if you have one to sell? 😁 @JasonlikesINTV

Just a REMINDER: The Holiday Triple Pack with bonus game will be setup to run a week from today. It will run for 3 weeks and finish when the balls drops in NYC. The scoring will be the same as Season 13 except +2 will be given to each game won and records will be +3 for breaking and setting new, +2 for breaking not setting, +1 for tieing records. The theme for this year will be 'Winter Games'.... This is just a little something to help us get by until Season 14 kicks off in January 2021. 👍

At long last I got the InTV HSC GREEN JACKET and got over 300 points in a season, that has to be a record... 😁🏆 CONGRATS TO EVERYONE ON A RECORD BREAKING SEASON!!! 👍

Thanks Jacob, was a great season and alot of fun. Congrats to the many great players on this board. Hopefully we can grow the participation. 👍 REMINDER: The Holiday Triple Pack with bonus game starts Thursday December 10th and will run for 3 weeks. It ends when the ball drops in NYC.... Trying to make this a staple going forward. This years theme will be 'Winter Games'. 🥶

Okay fair enough. @JacobZu7zu7 Please make my final Maze-A-Tron score be 453,600 as that one was done without any scoring glitches. Thx. 👍

A bug? All I did was zero out the 1's. Why would my score be disqualified I didn't do anything purposely, but play the game. If the game awarded me extra points that's my fault somehow? 🤷‍♂️ So you really think you (or anyone) can realistically get 9,999,999 points against the MCP? Also the levels get so high and fast that the game becomes virtually unplayable. There is NO WAY to get 10M playing this game unless another way exists. Interesting that the developer made the digits go out 7 places. I scored 453,600 in this game before the million score. If Jacob deems my million score a glitch than I will gladly take the 453,600 which was also played to a pretty far level if I recall. Getting 453k without a scoring 'glitch' is to me almost as high as it goes, but yet the developer made a way for scoring to go up to 9,999,999? Uhmmmm why bother? Why not just make it 999,999? Also have you played level 19? It's unplayable let alone level 31 lololol, not happening.... The screen goes so fast you can barely move....

Guys: Checkout the crazy score I got lastnight on Maze-A-Tron. I was playing the slowest speed and on the 2nd level I got the 1's cleared to black zeroes in less than 5 minutes and I apparently did it in a specific pattern that got me a HUGE bonus to the tune of 1.6 million-ish. I think this is one of the hidden gems of this game. Think about how many possible patterns there are with 28 numbers to change. The game manual says that scoring can go up to 9,999,999 so it would be logical to believe that there is an accessible way to get there, right? Therefore hidden gems and / or Easter Eggs must exist in this game. 😲 This is now the 2nd time I've nailed a GIGANTIC bonus playing this game. The first one I got was somewhere around 800,000+, the one lastnight was for 1,600,000+. Both times I cleared the zeroes screen in less than 5 minutes. I think there are numerous pattern bonuses in this game and if you hit them you will score big, but I think you also have to do it in less than 5 minutes which isn't easy obviously. BTW - At the bottom left of the 1st pic you will see '06' that means I was on the 6th level. There is no way to score that high at this level without a CRAZY bonus happening. I purposely quit the game after popping the stack in level 6. I have written down the specific pattern I used in this game and will try it again using the slowest speed to see if I can re-create that crazy bonus. 👍 @mr_me Any thoughts on this? 1,752,436

Also I think we are going to +2 points for the winner of a game, so +13 +2 and I believe bonus games will be +7 +1. 👍
