karokoenig Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Current and possibly final submission = 79,350. Comes in from nowhere and beats my score by a few points... Great. Maybe I shouldn't have invited you to take part... Nah, just kidding. Welcome, Tom, and great score! Congratulations Edited July 21, 2013 by karokoenig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 272450 finally starting to improve again, maybe I can beat 300k? (final goal) have I mentioned jumping between the crab 3-paks & bird 3-paks? it's amazing but it happens to me occaisionally by luck with time tho I think I could get the feel for doing it intentionally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 14,470 I'd rather play Frogger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keilbaca Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) keilbaca 35,840 I just can't get into this game. I can play Frogger like a champ, but this... I just can't do Edited July 21, 2013 by keilbaca 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 keilbaca 35,840 I just can't get into this game. I can play Frogger like a champ, but this... I just can't do I think you could be great on this game. You're amazing with fast games and this one gets very fast. At 100k it's already a much different game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) This game is unfair when it f---ks you before you even know, & cant do anything to help it. One game I had around 6K with 2 Baileys left, & got screwed out of both & didnt even get any more points. Also, there're too many variables, too many things going on. You can jump, & reverse the ice floes, but then you lose an ice block, & beware the animals, but you can grab the fish, & you have to change the colors correctly to get more points, & must jump enough to build an igloo, then a door, but watch out for the bear, but you can "hide" on the side of the screen, the whole time the temp drops, etc etc etc. Edited July 21, 2013 by RJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorTom Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) I also am superior at Frogger and personally, I think Frostbite is a great game -- a neat cross between Frogger and Q*Bert. I got another hour in today and improved my score a bit -- I'm close to a breakthrough but I just don't have enough time to improve substantially for this contest, as I started too late (yesterday) and have to head to work in an hour. I'm at the point where the game starts to get real fast, and I would need to invest a significant amount of time to take it to the next scoring level. Final submission = 87500 Edited July 21, 2013 by DoctorTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Also, there're too many variables, too many things going on. I think you're making it harder than it really is. I never use the fire button as I find changing the ice direction just throws me off. I also seldom use the "hideout" on the left. Having seen keilbaca play other games, I know he could easily outscore me if he gets past the slow stages.

RJ Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Got 16k something but lost my post before I could post it. No matter, Im not gonna best the next guy up. I restarted 6x before I got a satisfactory start, & got screwed out of my last 2 guys. Feels like Steve Cartwright threw in the ability to reverse the ice floes, to decrease game bullshittery. 1 bonus point for adding score digits (16) Edited July 22, 2013 by RJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tecmopsycho Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Finally got this game off eBay. First try out of the box. Brings back the memories. Edited March 2, 2014 by tecmopsycho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 This was my favorite game as a kid. I was the only person I knew that was any good at it. I could never quite get to 400k points. I got close a couple of times but never hit that thresh. I just started playing again after a roughly 20 year hiatus & after shaking off the rust I ended up with this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This HSC is really good at inspiring players to new heights. I have broken a few of my teenager high scores, and it is because of the extra competition and tips provided by the HSC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
