    I said that because there is no way of knowing how far someone gets. 

    My opinion has  not changed. I don’t think games like this should be played on HSC.  But that’s just me. 

     

     

    Ok, yeah this one may not be a good choice for the HSC. But since it’s here now, lemme ask you...do you think we should go by score or distance?  Basically is comes down to either a farming marathon or skill to go deep in the game that cannot be verified anyway. So maybe there is no good answer to that...

    and really thats what will decide the winner of this round... who can farm the longest... Its really not even a thing of getting killed or losing lives... It'a when you choose to loose your lives...  

    Right!!  And that's why I brought up the point in the beginning of this thread as to how the scoring of this game should be done.  The farming aspect of it takes a lot of the skill away from it.  It should focus more on getting farther in the game, not just score.  But people here seemed to have no issue with farming and wanted it to be scored that way.  You even said this at first..."I think things should be left at highest points."  So has your opinion changed now after playing the game for points?  🙂

    yes took awhile so bored except for level 3 ,6,9, if you see a pattern what levels I like..  and I need to put time in even in boring games to keep up to you and the others great players here.. 

     

    Just surprised you put that much time and effort into a game that you seem to hate, LOL. So what level did you get to anyway? Is that level 3, 6, or 9?

    I didn't like the controllers.

    But it wasn't the disc that I had a problem with. It was the action buttons on the side. They were stiff, irritating, painful after an hour's play and way too small. 

    The disc was great if the game was designed with it in mind, like most of the in house intv games. The third parties though, were hit & miss.

    Did you have an original Master Component or Intellivision II?

    Graphics yes, Just take to long to rack up points and just so slow.. You need lots of time to kill the dudes and/or waiting around... Cant imagine farming .. you would just fall asleep.... lmao  I got to level 5 with that score... your scored 40k more in 3 levels.. It must of took you an hour/s to get that score..  Too boring for me... But  I can see the lure of this game for some.. Mystic Castle a vast improvement thats for sure..  

    Yes it takes awhile. But I like the fact that you can play this game longer than a lot of Intellivision games out there. I am just a fan of maze games like this in general. To each his own.

    I still think it should be points or progression. Depending on game.  

    If farming can be an issue or not. 

     

    We we never really had an issue, most of us that play in the HSC are here for the fun of playing the games (with a competitive edge to it )

    😜

    Some integrity is involved as well. 

     

     

     

    Agreed, it's all for fun.  A game like this though can be played for either points or progression...so there should be an element of both in the scoring.  Just my opinion.

    I agree Jacob had good best intentions for sure.  But unless there is equal amount of points  achieved and available on every game. I think things should be left at highest points.  

      

    I would be good with that, BUT, in games that allow point farming like that you can have people doing it forever in the first level and never progressing through the game.  I feel like there should be some progression, so I do think there needs to be a certain minimum progression set in order to "qualify" a score for the HSC.  Just my thoughts.

    I think the bonuses in Beauty and the beast have put things out of reach. 

     

    Its really not equal to all if some games have them and some games don’t. 

     

    Thats my opinion because you can rack up tons of points in some games and none in others.  (Like in beauty and the beast)

     

    Just my opinion. 

    I agree.  It's tough when a game allows point farming.  I think Jacob had the best intentions when trying to do award the "highest level achieved" in Beauty in the Beast rather than just points because they could be farmed forever.  So maybe there should be something like that in this game too.

    Notice: I cannot find Wispfollowers 400ks score of Thin Ice...

     

     

    I can confirm this one,

     

    Thin Ice

    101,430 Ignorama

     

     

    If I find where that Wisp score came from I will let you all know.

     

    Jacob, it's in this thread from Season 3, game 10:
