Deteacher Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Ok, everything has been tallied up and the points leaderboard is updated. As always, please doublecheck things to make sure I awarded the correct number of points. Looks like things got shaken up a bit. Hope you all enjoyed the mid-season finale. There will be another multi-week tournament to close out the season. Game on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveD Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Great job as always. That last 2 week round was fun. I think you mean 1982 though, not 1992. I made it a personal goal of mine about a year ago to get good at this game. It has potential and I always wondered where it went. I downloaded a strategy guide online and played for about a month. I got nowhere. It's a tough game. The long pauses in the action trick you into thinking you'll have plenty of time to react. Not so much. Good luck all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynicaster Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Squeezed in a few games last night and wasn’t able to get much more than low 20k’s. I’m not even going to bother posting a score until I have another crack at it. Those old guys chasing you around seem so slow and stupid that you think the game should be easy, but man is that deceiving. Really, this game is typical Stern—tough as nails. My first impression was that the game is too slow to be fun, but once I realized it’s more of a puzzle game than an action platformer, I started to “get it”. It’s no Donkey Kong, but it seems like a decent title so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Cool video of this game. I didn't know you could get inside the cart and even grab a bag while in it too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.A.M.E Offender Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Wow. I found myself getting awfully frustrated playing. Slow moving, but a very entertaining game to say the least. I didn't know about being able to hop onto the cart until I viewed the post by roadrunner. I didn't spend a great amount of time on Bagman, and this is the top score I got: 27,490 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hey everyone, Been sick as a dog all week. Couldn't even bear to look at the computer screen. Ahh, the joys of being an elementary school teacher, right? Anyway, scores are being updated right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kane Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I've had a house full of relatives for the last few weeks so have only had time for a few games. 35,520 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onmode-ky Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) I imagine that after a few more years of being an elementary school teacher, Deteacher will be immune to even computer viruses. 37,620 42,390. Weird game, not very "arcade" in feel, yet also not much of a "sit and think" experience, either. onmode-ky Edited January 19, 2014 by onmode-ky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
