karokoenig Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Holding the stick diagonally really helps in my case. I recommend a good old Competition with nice clicky microswitches. Q-Bert (Game1AA): 29,275 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Say....what about the "jump through the enemies" feature? Is that considered a bug we're not allowed to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrabbler15 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 17,200 Across the lands, a cry was heard. All that came could sense that the time of darkness had ended. Each felt their own sense of relief, seeing the rays of light streaming over the horizon. All of a sudden, the crowds cheered as one. Season Four of the HSC had arrived. And the villagers celebrated... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oyamafamily Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Say....what about the "jump through the enemies" feature? Is that considered a bug we're not allowed to use? Jacob and S.Baz can clarify better. The only thing which I'm absolutely sure is what you CANNOT do (unless otherwise specified by Moderators): "Jump to the top of the pyramid then wait for Coily to jump to one of the cubes directly below. Press Up/Right to jump off the pyramid just when he is ready to jump to your cube. Coily will also jump off and points will be awarded. However, Q*bert will not lose a life."

karokoenig Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Bonus: Werner Brösel, a famous german cartoon character. As you can see in the picture, he has one hell of a big nose, and he obviously jumps from time to time. Now, just in case you don't believe me: would some german HSC player please confirm that he has quite the potty mouth as well? (edit): I could prove his potty mouth with several pictures out of his comic strips, but I'd have to edit them to keep this youth-friendly :-).

BrianC Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) 40,000 Bonus pic. Popeye. He not only has a big nose, but he was quite the foul mouth in the original Segar comics (though he was later toned down).

Scrabbler15 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 For the bonus, Steve Martin as Cyrano de Bergerac in the movie Roxanne. He gets a little potty-mouthed in this movie and he's jumping to avoid a ski pole. His twenty Big Nose jokes is a classic. . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
