JacobZu7zu7 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Q*Bert 1AA 16,750 ... just warming up, an emulation run with no controller setup yet. Bonus: Terri Doolittle in Jumpin' Jack Flash, my favorite childhood swear comedy (caused me some *&^% on the playground. Swearing never sounded so good before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 clarifications jumping through enemies: it is OK to jump through the bad guys by timing your jump. jumping off the top: it's NOT OK to use this glitch or "loophole." (thanks oyamafamily) Waiting at the top for Coily & jumping off to earn points is fine if you're using the flying disc, but not allowed if Q*Bert falls off the pyramid & reappears without losing a life. bonus: "Big schnoz" and "has a potty-mouth" may be a little relative or ambiguous. if you think we may have shorted you a point, feel free to let us know 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Kofoed Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Almost rolled the score my first try, only to realize my switches were on 'B' ... Halfway there on the correct settings! Also, did the forums update since last I played? I can no longer attach an image that isn't already uploaded to my AA profile. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacey Invader Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) 30,575 As I recall, you have to post pretty quick around here if you want to avoid hanging out in the lower 1% for the entirety of the season. Here's my crack at #15(or so). And, naturally, Ringo, and his schnoz, jumping, which is more or less all he (and the other fab three) did for the length of "Hard Day's Night." Pretty sure he's sworn once or twice, but I don't think that really qualifies. But I'll take jumping and schnoz for 500, Alex. [Edit: you have to click the picture for the jump. Otherwise, it's just the schnoz.] Edited January 20, 2015 by Spacey Invader 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I just remembered Stimpy drank toilet water... "and liked it." i'll take that as a "potty-mouth" xD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Slight improvement with a very stupid death on my last life. Room for improvement... Q-Bert: 33,625 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micheloni2600 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I remember my highest score a while back was 45K, I will have to dig the cart out and show the evidence, for this week around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) I was able to sqeeze in another attempt. And got an improvement. Reaching the end of the line, though, with the blocks that change back in colour when you jump on them again. As a kid, I think I got much further, but I'm getting old :-). Q-Bert (1AA): 46,500 Did I mention that Q-Bert is one of only 3 cartridges that are left from my childhood Atari collection? I'm playing this week on a cart that is in my possession for 31 years!

Gorfy Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 new score: 28,400 Like Scrabbler, I avoided this game for a long time, primarily due to the weird diagonal control. Now, I'm actually enjoying the heck out of this game. Nice choice, Jake and the Baz! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacey Invader Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 33,625 Slight improvement that represents my first point of diminishing returns (I tend to have several). Something is something. Like Scrabbler, I avoided this game for a long time, primarily due to the weird diagonal control. Now, I'm actually enjoying the heck out of this game. Nice choice, Jake and the Baz! If I had a nickel for every time I plunged poor Q to his death due to improper navigation of the diagonal controls, I'd have about $3.85. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
