VectorGamer Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 We're starting off the season with a couple of tough games. I'll be on vacation next week and not checking AA.

bubufubu Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Sinistar: 53,085 This is my first time playing the game. I had never heard of it before today. The Sinistar voice is awesome. I love hearing those quotes over and over. Adds to the satisfaction gotten from destroying him. That second stage after the warp seems brutal.

DaveD Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Tough games indeed. But also very cool games. I think 2 weeks will come in handy this round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectorGamer Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Yes as I stated last year PLEASE POST THE TEXT OF YOUR SCORE. Looking at the screenshots posted so far it's really difficult to see the text in the image. And with some games (like Tron) it's difficult to make out what the scores are. YOU DON"T POST THE TEXT OF YOUR SCORE IT WON"T BE ADDED TO THE LEADERBOARD. I'll make sure that this is noted in the HSC rules. Just a note on Sinistar: from my experience if you do not have a 49 way joystick (which is used on the arcade game) it's going to be difficult to get a high score. I have this on a MAME cabinet using an 8 way joystick and I was never able to score higher than 100K. Although my high score on the arcade cabinet itself is about 160K. Also you can "point press" on the first screen: collect the maximum number of sinibombs (20), find Sinistar (if you unload a sinibomb it will travel in the direction Sinistar is located if he's not on your radar) and bomb him while he's still being built. I believe you collect 500 points for each piece of Sinistar you destroy. What I like to do is bomb Sinistar until I have between 12-14 sinibombs left and then I go collect more sinibombs. Rinse and repeat until Sinistar is built. Good luck on doing this on waves 2 and higher. Regarding Star Castle: I know you watched my video . First of all you need to make sure you are using the correct ROM set which is the "hard chip" ROM set. I played the "easy chip" at ReplayFX and put up over 40K before I voluntarily stopped playing. Once you get up to about 14-15K on Star Castle you will need to use the flight pattern I show in the video. I would see this as almost impossible to do if you're using a joystick to control your ship. I know of only one gamer that was able to bounce off the rings going north/south the entire time and put up a score of 23K. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr. toast Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Oh damn it's been a long time! Finally getting back into retrogaming, let's see if I can still do this... Sinistar: 64,655 Using a keyboard, not a controller, so I can only go in 8 directions. Also got caught by Sinistar as the final sinibomb tracked down and hit him just before I got eaten. I don't think I lost a life for that. Star Castle: 11,010 I might have time for improvement, but if not, at least I got these scores here. Excited to get back into the tournament!
