shadow460 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Did anything special happen at the 100K mark? I thought that might be when it reset the short timer. 103,900 This game really is a game of chance. Too bad I didn't have this game recording.

I just barely got it too, within 5 or so seconds of the game ending, two perfectly lined up items for bonuses showed up. My highest before that was 83k, and I was about at that point, when that happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vectorman0 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 So I was reading about the game on the Intellivision website, and apparently there is a "bug" in this game, where it rolls at 1 Million. I wonder if that means the ROM currently out is an incomplete version? Could that also be why the left timer seems to be useless? http://www.intellivisiongames.com/bluesky/games/credits/atari3.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cebus Capucinis Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I need to fire up an emulator for this, I guess. I'm being too much of a purist and refusing to play anything I can't pop into my system. I should try the Supercharger bin I guess...

godzillajoe Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Timed games should be banned from HSC IMO you can get lucky if certain objects show up at certain times and rock out mega scores where you weren't any "better" than the guy who finished 10th and just didn't have that random seed in his favor. Also, any sports game. Yay. I beat the computer 11-0 in volleyball Same as 40 other guys. "11" is not a high score And this is not a jab at anyone's scores this week, I just think it's pointless in general to play timed games unless you can advance the timer with skill, which in this game seems impossible. Play until you die, not because mommy called and said it was time for bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 No need to get discouraged. Play it just for something different. I popped in Yars' Revenge the other night just for a change and even though I can run that game to infinity, I had a blast. Play it to pass the time. Heck, play for the participation point if nothing else. I have spent one session with R&B this week. I'll make another hard push to get north of 100K. I have never played R&B before, though. I don't agree with the scoring for Cosmic Ark, but I played anyway. I absolutely hate Moon Patrol, but have the cart and would have played once if I had remembered it. Maybe you'll be the one to discover how to extend the game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymailman Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 A small improvement for me. 88,100 Maybe, as an improvement to the HSC in general, we should create a list of games that do not lend themselves to a "high score" competition. This doesn't mean they aren't fun to play, but just that they should not be used in the HSC. Just a thought. Cosmic Ark and this game would probably make such a list.

darthkur Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 129,100 Very lucky game. I got multiple combo's all in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjames Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 87,800 Got lucky. Kind of like playing a slot machine. Keeps you going because you think "Hey, if I did that then surely I could do better..." So not so. Tried to grab as many items as I could according to what was at the bottom, but when I couldn't get what I needed I grabbed whatever I could.
