HSC12 Round 6: Blue Max


Recommended Posts

 

Latest Tables - hope the new scoring seems fair gives everyone a chance to make some points!

 

 

I'm a little confused by the ranking system. For instance, would a Blue Max ranking of even a low score (say, 1,000 points) earn 10 points in the HSC?

 

In posting #47 I mentioned that I beat my high score of 950 with 1,530 points. Of course, I still hope to beat that score-- but thus far I'm failing. I need to playing another 1,000 times today, I guess.

If you can get a Blue Max Class 1 with a score of 10 game points then you'll be up for a whacking 16 HSC pts at least!

I had to force myself to turn the game off and get on with my programming... I was going all guns blazing today taking out everything WHAT A RUSH

 

Let me know if you improved the rank with that score?

 

EVERYONE Post your high rank with it's score. For this round we are now the HRC High Rank Club :-D

Scores are only going to count for the bonus point -see bottom of the table for details

New "Blue Max" score for me:

2,300 points, Rank: Air Cadet, Class 3 (NTSC, Real 130XE)

I've finally reached a point where I'm getting consistent scores. Unfortunately, I'm consistently scoring below 1,000 points-- except on rare occasions.

Looking at the table some lower scores have higher ranks so perhaps accuracy or accuracy on taking out the primary targets helps. I've been to the end stage and had an Air Cadet rank so it's not necessarily all down to progress. Still time to someone to make Blue Max ;)

 

Round 7 "Theme Round" Poll OPEN and suggestions for games welcome :)

I feel like the prophet Zarquon showing up at the last minute, wondering if he's too late? :)

I remember liking this when it first came out, but I haven't played it in *forever*.

 

(Now I'll go back and read the rest of the thread - sorry, but things have been crazy the last two weeks and I just haven't had the time I wanted to have to dedicate to the old Atari. But I'll always put in a score, even if I only get to play one game) :)

Hopefully I've got everyone's correct scores and ranks! So... I fiddled the system and managed to win a round eh?!! Nobody made the coveted Blue Max rank but firestorm also ranked as Flying Tiger, so we'll just have to try harder next time! Blue Max is a great game but needs some serious play to master.

 

Thanks for playing everyone :thumbsup: nice to see spookt back too :thumbsup: Still time to VOTE if you're quick; I'm going to start round 7 soon... it will feature some much easier games ;)

Btw during one of my last games when i was getting a bit bored I decided to bomb the hanger on my runway, it maked the game crash! I was playing using the XEGS cartridge on my 800XL so I was surprised to see such a nasty bug

I think this was a feature that was left in from the original version ;) Did everyone (sometimes) see the red moving boats (primary targets) not sure if they are rare or just not in some versions out there?

I saw those red boats in the disk version. They are rare, and because they move faster, they are harder to hit. When I bombed the red boat I got 100 points instead of the usual 50 points.

 

If the player bombs his own hanger, the game crashes because the player deserves it!
