toymailman Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Fun game...until Level 4. Then it seems nearly impossible. I can usually get through the first three without missing any bird seed or getting caught and then BAM! 89,600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss 2600 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Finally got to Level 4. Level 3 seemed very short, or maybe I was killed halfway through and just needed to get through the other half so it seemed short. As Jacob mentioned, the trick is to keep the Coyote on the screen, so slowing down and keeping control is key. Then try to keep blowing up the coyote with landmines. 66,100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 91,300 Tip for Level 4: As on level 3, you want to keep the coyote on the screen. If you go too fast and the coyote goes off the screen to the right, then he comes back on that super fast rocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I'm with you stan! This is a historic system. Game availability is good. You owe it to video game history to own the original game and the instructions. Roms are great to mess around with...but i like the physical cart. Awesome! Let's not play it together! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, this isn't a Collecting Score Club, it's a High Score Club Don't we all collect? I've got over 200 carts and counting, and I generally dislike the feel of emulation as well, but we're talking about playing the games here, and a Harmony lets you do that while you wait for the game to come in the mail [almost always late!] Besides, it's custom made, limited quantity released so far, blah blah blah... Oh wait, it's a competition! Hell yeah, don't play this week and I don't have to worry about you catching up, Stan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Kofoed Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 First chance to play this week: 62,700. Haven't quite figured out that third level yet, but keeping Wile E on screen seems to be a great starter tip. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem worth posting a picture yet [also, my daughter is sleeping in the room with the computer I'd need to use for that]... No idea what to do on level 4. I died almost instantly from that first canon-thingy hm, work to do still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Kofoed Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 ACME Challenge! I have several ideas for Wile E., including the basic lesson of the Bond villain... stop mucking with gadgets, buy a high powered rifle, and shoot the sucker! But this, illustrated by my two rough diagrams, is the ultimate, fool-proof way for Wile E to see his nemesis dead, guaranteed: 1. 2. Explanation of the figures. 1. A roadrunner lives 7-8 years [average]. 2. A coyote lives 10-15 years [average]. Conclusion: Wile E will live twice as long as the Roadrunner, assuming he doesn't kill himself first with all his dumb plans! Just kick back and wait for the inevitable!

DT Kofoed Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 84,300 Not a first place score by any means, but this one seemed worth a picture, at least. Three nights left, maybe I can crack 9K still? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 84,900! Had to play the CCE version as this was the only version that didn't cut the score off at the top of the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tip for this is: If there isn't any birdseed near the buckshot, I leave the buck shot alone. Birdseed cancels out the buckshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell yeah, don't play this week and I don't have to worry about you catching up, Stan I personaly also prefer to play the games that i got in my collection, witch make sence to me becouse i own quite a lot of fun games. But to be able to participate in a hole season of the high score club you offcourse need some sort of emulation, or an realy, realy super-huge collection. Therefore i perticipate when ever i feel like it. More then a handfull of the games selected for this season were only releesed in NTSC-format, witch are games that i offcourse never got to play as a kid/youth in Sweden and are a bit tricky for me to get a hold of outside american e-bay. So... i always wich that a game i realy want to play would be picked for the weak, but if not i have a lot of fun playing the games i got anyway. What i like the most about the HSC is that you guys have opened my eyes to a lot of fun games that i maybe only played ones or twice before and thoght of as crap. So even if i don´t participate in the competition that often im always with you in spirit. First sitdown with road runner: 60.400 I think i maxed the score on the first level, then i sprinted throu the second level without scoring more then a couple of tousand points, then i failed completely on the third level. So i should be able to improve my score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jifremok Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) Just as a side note, the highest I've scored on level 1 by itself so far is 61500. Yay trucks. In the year 200X, the coyote tries something a little more modern... A bridge made of those damn disappearing blocks that would annoy Megaman, timed so they all disappear simultaneously. We all know how this'll play out for the poor coyote... Edited August 21, 2011 by Jifremok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Awwww, and I thought I was going to be the first one to crack the 100K barrier: 100,100! Looks like you get an extra RR at 100K, BTW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss 2600 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Bonus: The coyote discovered that playing Road Runner on the Atari was more fun (and better for his health) than chasing that scrawny bird around. The Road Runner became puzzled when the coyote ignored him and, not paying attention, was hit by a semi. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss 2600 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) 72900 on the third level. Luring the coyote into trucks is almost second nature to me. Just as a side note, the highest I've scored on level 1 by itself so far is 61500. Yay trucks. I'm getting better at luring the coyote into trucks, too. My highest score so far on level 1 is 57,000 and something. Tip for levels 1-3: The key to me is to slow down and keep in control. My instinct is to run as fast as possible away from the coyote, but if I slow down and keep him at just the right distance away, it is pretty easy to move him into trucks on the 1st level. I actually stop the RR in his tracks a lot of the time after I pass a truck or landmine and just watch the coyote get smashed or fried. I can't stay alive long enough to get the hang of level 4. I spent a little more time on the 4th level when I got the score below. I know to avoid the cannon by taking the detour above, but haven't mastered getting back on the main road and avoiding the cannon although I managed to avoid it once. I guess the timing of the cannon blasts is key. I did lure the coyote into the cannon once Finally in the 70K club: 76,900 Edited August 21, 2011 by Miss 2600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
