I was randomly reading some computer magazine PDFa when I stumbled across this review. The game is callrd "High Score Screen Burn Slow Burn" I'll comment after the review.... "An experimental game where you play it by not playing it! Start the game. Watch for a minute or two. Walk away. Come back in half an hour and check in. Walk away. Come back the following day, week, month. Check in. Do you have the high score yet? The game AI controls the square as it bounces and moves around each room trying to find the exit door to the right. So, it’s a game that plays itself – for the most part. The secret to the game is: you can control the object in the room, as long as the square is in a room with an object. Once in a room with an object, you can control it with the joystick and move it towards the square to get the points for it. Also, you can press the fire button and the object will change shapes. Rotate through the different shapes (and different beeps are sounded for each shape) to choose the one you want before running into the square. Once the square is touched by the object, points are rewarded, and the object disappears from the room. Now wait until the square goes into a room with another object. If you listen to the game, it will beep when the square does enter a room with an object. The big exciting change at 100 points is the change in the player's color. The points are also doubled once you hit 100 (and tripled plus another color change when you hit 1,000, etc.). The percentages are skewed towards the lowerpoint objects (lower sounds), so it can take a few presses to get a higher sound (higher points). The beeps are based on a C chord, so there are: low C, low E, low G, high C, and (after hitting 100 points) high G. Analysis The best non-game homebrew out there." Doesn't that sound interesting?? Has anyone here played this? I'm 58 years old, so the 2600 came ou wheb I was a teenager. I don't want to sound over the top or asnything, but I'd be interested in tryimg this game out The 2600 is over 40 years old, but she's still learning new tricks......I didn't mean THAT kind of trick. Gee, get your mind outta the gutter! .The PDF can be found at https://download.file-hunter.com/Magazines/EN/8 Bit Annual/ and it in the 2019 issue on page 161.
