    and the start of climbing season has begun here in WA state

     

    (takes this thread fully off topic...)Hey, cheers! NYC is so devoid of climbing, save some bouldering in Central Park, and of course the Gunks up North if I had time. Quite jealous! Where do you climb?(wait for it...)

     

    And, isn't Crazy Climber a sweet game? :)

    Where did this email goto? I timestamped the event on this thread too. Time is EST. Also:
    i will give away the remaining low numbers to my prefered trading friends on the list ... exept ...  

    if you all send in pics of your actual highscores until sunday!

    does this mean I have until Sunday to resend a score? WTF?

    Well 2nd only pays for shipping, which is less then paying for the package ;p still have to pay though, but its easier to pay 21 or 49 bucks to 70 when you don't make too much.

     

    Ah ah; oh. :? Now that 500 points seems all the more frustrating. From Thomas' quotes, it looks like this conversation may be moot anyway...If someone got a huge score on an emulator, I hope they didn't use save states.

    And I have never come close to winning a contest as this (2nd place still coutns as winning)!

     

    And I haven't lost by so little ;) although, for reasons I still can't fathom, 3rd place gets free shipping while 2nd does not. Eh?

     

    This was a great contest: I haven't gotten so much use out of my 2600 for a long time.

    To give a critique: after playing this game incessantly for the past week, about the only suggestion I could offer would be to impliment the changes you've already made in Thrust+. It will be so sweet to do this: s_ThrustPlus_5.png&SuperText=Thrust%20Plus (Thrusting with shield on).

     

    My score right now is 181560. I'll give it another shot before this contest ends in 2 hours, but I really can't see myself doing any better: the game requires such precise control and my only working stick (Mindscape Powerplayer) doesn't really offer the finesse I'd like. Plus, I'd need an extra pack of smokes to beat level 24 (so...close).

     

    Bah. One more shot.

    The game now has a pause key (left difficulty), so a broken joystick will be no problem anymore.

     

    Thank you! As it is now, playing Thrust is a 45 min commitment. Not that I have anything better to do

     

    Disabling the guns is a bonus I often overlook. 15 times is one too many...

     

    So 200K is the top score possible on Rookie?

  22. Posted

    Yes, it is _just_ possible on Level 5. It is strange that the original programmer organized Levels 4 and 6 that way: after realizing there is no way to remove the pod and destroy the planet, it almost looks like a waste.

     

    I can't wait to be able to more easily thrust and activate shields in Thrust+. What will some of the graphical enhancements be in this new version?

    I was having a great game, only to watch in horror as I lost 5 ships in a row after my WICO stick broke. Reverse gravity is not a forgiving environment.

     

    I forget the name of my erstwhile stick, but it looks like the Epyx one pictured earlier in this thread, except it is covered with white rubber, and IMO much more responsive. At least it was

     

    @ Thomas: how about level 4 (?) where you must detonate the plant, then navigate 2 screens before hitting the surface. How in the world can one beat this? On rev. gravity I guess you could get out more easily. Thrust is one tough cookie!

    @ Chris Johnson: holy snot! 128,760 is the score to beat, yes? You must have nerves of steel, man. Congrats.

     

    Have you gotten to the "something even more deadly" levels on Expert? Also, is it possible to hit the nuclear pplant that looks to be burried below the ground (level 5 or 6)? Is it possible to clear every level and detonate the plant?

     

    This game rocks! Show of hands: how many ppl are in this contest? I'm still trying to break 75K, and get my camera working Sunday is a long day...
