zylon Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) In the spirit of the weekend ( and because I've been way too busy), we'll run a little Pole Position 500. In looking through the records, we've never played the 6 lap variations. Play Malibu Grand Prix on 6 lap setting. Round will end Sunday, June 3rd 2012 @ 10pm EST One week only round with a new HSC record being formed by the lucky winner. Final scores: 82,450 JacobZu7zu7 +1 82,300 zylon +10 81,650 sdamon +9 78,650 peedenmark7 +8 78,000 roadrunner +7 68,400 atariron82 +6 65,450 jblenkle +5 19,550 MIKE5200 +4 Current Standings: sdamon - 83 JacobZu7zu7 - 55 atariron82 - 54 trbb - 49 skosh - 47 tank - 36 peedenmark7 - 35 roadrunner - 32 Cafeman - 31 BydoEmpire - 30 Sonic R - 26 jblenkle - 26 zylon - 21 patbb - 20 NE146 - 15 SpaceShooter - 15 chuckwalla - 14 BillyHW - 8 ahuffman - 1 oyamafamily - 1* Mister VCS - 1* Rounds Won: trbb - 3 sdamon - 2 skosh - 2 JacobZu7zu7 - 1 Edited June 4, 2012 by zylon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Help! Anyone! I'm trying to play this on the Kat5200 emulator, but I can't get it to change from the default 4 laps to 6 laps. It appears from the manual online that you need to press the * button and then the # button to change the laps, but for some reason the emulator does nothing when I press the keys I have configured for these. Anyone got a clue how to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Press reset at the demo screen, then # to change laps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 OK, that worked! Thanks! I still suck at this game on an emulator though... Press reset at the demo screen, then # to change laps. Pole Position - 20,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 A bit off topic but since were playing a car racing game, let's send good vibes Michael Schumacher's way. If it wasn't for bad luck he'd have no luck at all. I think his cars are being sabotaged. Way too many mechanical gremlins in the last 2 and a half years. It might be time to go to a different team.

zylon Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) I've only got time for a couple goes per day, but here's my first run: 79,100 I chose the 6 lp variation for a couple reasons. Many players had trouble with completing 8 laps, but most were able to complete the 4 lap race. This fits right in the middle. Secondly, we track records for 2, 4, & 8 laps. So we might as well get them all. Updated with 2nd run: 80,950 I think I'm going to need a new TV soon. Edited May 29, 2012 by zylon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Man, even if we had another week i still don't think i wouldn't break 80k I had a game where i got pole and was doing good but got stuck behind a 5 car pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can relate, I had a perfect game going... I saw one of those 5 car packs closing in, right on the sharpest turn...! SMASH! It was my 5th lap too... I finished with the score 81,800... you could imagine if I didn't crash. Good news is my score survived for a new record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
