HSC7 Game 15: Nibbly

[+skr]

Damn, found no time to increase my Frogger score, even I had a Retro-gaming weekend. But organizing such an event besides my normal work is a lot of work. Take a look at what machines we had: http://skriegel.de/muna2010

And if you speak German, listen to KielPod 791 at www.kielpod.de, there´s an uncut interview with me starting at about 3:20.

Nibbly:

 

Not more than 1515 in Level 1. How do you get such high scores there? Where are the hints?

 

My best score until now: 7900

11,240 - round 8

 

Round 1 - 1,535

[sloopy]

heh, actually i have been on round 10, its just my highest score came on round 9 :')

 

but i will let steve have first on that list until i start working on highest level :evil laugh:

;')

 

 

p.s. whats with this emu stuff? i wanna play on an emu so i can pause the game ;'P

sloopy.

[a8isa1]

Now this is funny!

 

I've been working at the bonus for highest round for so long that I forgot how to complete round #8 (and probably others)!

 

UGH!

 

Anyway, my bid for highest round obtained (codes allowed if earned) is round 27.

 

 

I have no clue as to how to get past that one.

 

-Steve

[a8isa1]

Finally got through round 8 again.

 

14,985

 

 

Round 13 is really tough.

 

[edit]

 

Some improvement but I'm still not managing to complete round 13 in a regular game

 

16,335

I finally got this thing to boot up on my Atari 800XL. I had to use the ATR version. Hint for getting highest score in first round is in my screenshot. You need to find the shortest path that eats up all the dots and then be expert at using the joystick. This is the first few times I tried it-- never heard about it before.

I think Divya was talking about Nibbler , this game is steady and you get a rest between lives/rounds so that's good, more time to listen to that tune Yes folks, codes allowed for the high-round bonus challenge. Blinking eck atariksi, 1,565 you're a fast learner! I've got two days left to get a lot better at this one otherwise I'll come back to potentially being out of the top 10 Am going to put the vote on tomorrow... am thinking of a doubles round so if anyones got two games that go together as a suggestion post it here before tomorrow night

[sloopy]

hmmm seems i am gonna have to figure out how to get that 1570... and i need to get my 130XE back together, as the 800XL i am using the KB doesnt work, the ribbon is cracked. and that makes the highest level comp a little more difficult...

 

 

sloopy.

Here's my score update for first screen and total:

[+therealbountybob]

I'm stuck at 1,535 on round 1, but managed to get a bit futher, score 14,190, after practicing level 9 as this was causing me grief! Had a go using codes and got to round 18.

Hey, maybe PAL is backfiring on you this time by slowing down your time. Maybe I'll experiment with PAL/NTSC using same pattern to see if it's making a difference.

not a problem, if no one does, i will hook you up (us?) up every three days...

[a8isa1]

I managed a 1535 for the first round (but no pic).

 

Round 13 is giving me fits. While going for the highest round (with codes allowed) it took me between 10 and 20 tries to get through that round. I can't remember how I did it either.

That´s a good hint. I´m on PAL too by default, but got some NTSC XEGS which I will try with that game later on. :-)

[Deteacher]

Haven't been around in awhile...I've got 4 days off, so I thought I'd jump in on this one:

 

1st round score: 1,565

Personal Best: 8,685

 

[sloopy]

hmmm 18485@15, but its not my final answer so i will hold off on a pic...

The REAL bounty bob wrote in post #1:

 

"Bonus Point Challenges

 

1 HSC point for the highest score on round 1. In 1 life!

 

1 HSC point each, for the top three players reaching the highest rounds, plus an extra point for the highest person."

 

So in 1 life. And you get a bonus point for the highest person; my height is about 5 feet so I have no shot at that as there must be some people here taller than me, but I'll keep trying.

Well, I did do it in one life.

 

Scratch that, I just tried it again, and was only able to get 1555 points (and that was the fastest I've ever done it), so I must have lost a life on that first one.
