Dukes of Hazzard level 3 mystery

[Scott Stilphen]

Does anybody know what you're supposed to do with that flashing block at this part?

 

[StanJr]

So far I can't get it to do anything to me or Roscoe. Its location suggests that maybe it is to be used to jump the chasm to the right (if that's what that purple thing is) Are we 100% sure this game was completed? All of the levels above #3 are bery static and identical. Far as I can tell, the button does nothing. Has a manual of any kind surfaced for this game?

 

And isn't that General Lee jumping the river about the saddest thing you have ever seen. I nearly died laughing.

 

 

And thanks a lot, Scott, now I'm totally addicted to this stupid game. Could Randy at Hozer make me a hard copy?

[Scott Stilphen]

Only Mark Hahn knows for sure, I guess...

[StanJr]

yeah, I've exhausted EVERYTHING I can think of.

 

I've tried playing level 3 straight, I've tried playing level 0-10 straight through, I've tried to run over the box, I've had Roscoe run over it, I've hit the button until my finger hurt trying to get it to do ANYTHING. I've tried to approach it from the other side of the screen to see if it triggered anything there, it didn't.

I've run over it slowly, full speed, up to down, down to up, right to left, left to right. I've parked on it, I've slid into it diagonally. Spun around it doing donuts.

 

I've exhuasted it.

 

The big thing in the middle of the screen is the same color as the General Lee, could it be a barn or something the car is suppose to park in and hide, or jump over. The flashing thing MUST be related to the thing in the center of the screen. But I fail to understand what either one is.

 

Maybe Thomas can take a look at the code????

Maybe ( I don't promise anything!).

In going through some old notes, I had noted that if Rosco is following you, and you drive over the flashing square, he will turn around. I'll try to verify this tomorrow.

 

I always thought that it looked liked the red pit section would be something you could jump over, but as Stan noted, levels 4 and higher are exactly the same as level 0, so I'm guessing Mark didn't finish level 3, and might have planned to make the levels after it different as well.

 

Couple of other interesting notes: there doesn't appear to be any way to earn extra cars beyond the 4 you start with. The highest level I got to is 13. The problem is, with levels 11 and above, the highest level you can restart at is 10, and 12 is extremely tough to beat.

 

Btw, any luck with this Thomas?

Hard to believe Atari was just about ready to release this huh?

 

BTW has anyone figured out what those little dots are you see from time to time? I've picked them up before and dropped them so that Roscoe runs into them, but sometimes they cause me to spin out when I try and grab them. Is there a trick to picking them up? What the heck are they anyway? My best guess were tire spikes or caltrops.

No. After realizing that this game is 16K, I didn't even try. To much work. Sorry.

[StanJr]

Yeah, that incompleteness was my impression as well.

 

Too bad too, because its a fun fun game!
