+chue #2628 Posted October 1, 2019 The trickiest part, for me at least, are the mines. On the first course I slow the vehicle down to the slowest speed and then jump the mines that way. This does require precision jumping, which I cannot do with a joystick. I find that switching to the keyboard during this makes things a lot easier. There is an exception to the speed rule above - I will speed up the vehicle to make a jump when there are two mines that are right next to each other. There is usually a third mine nearby that needs to be avoided as well, and for me there is always some luck involved as to not hit one of the three. On the second course, the mines always seem to get me. I always die in the same spot, which is shown in my final attempt. This spot seems to have gotten @globeron as well: 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jwild #2634 Posted October 23, 2019 94820 is my first submittal. I played a few more times and I went over 100000. The score appeared to “roll” and only displayed 4 digits. I think I saw it going DOWN and then back up? If I can get that far again I’ll look closer. That game reached level 8. I guess I’ll submit 105040, but I think the up/down messed with the score.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jwild #2635 Posted October 23, 2019 Now that I think about it for a few minutes, I think that after rolling over 100000, it only displays 4 digits. So the "up/down" is probably just going up, but after each 10000 it appears to go back to 0000 and then go up again. So I bet I scored 115040 or maybe 125040. It is a really fun game that I had never heard of. I have since learned that PeteE wrote this version and that it was originally an Atari 2600 game. While playing, I have often thought it feels like Tempest. It has a lot of qualities I love in a game. Thank you, PeteE, for creating and sharing it with us. I also think the sounds are really good. The animation in between games felt like an Atari 2600 game, so that made me curious to see if it was a remake. I looked locally for the Atari 2600 version, but haven't been able to find it to compare. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeteE #2636 Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) Here's a version that shows 6 digits for the score, although now it will roll over at 655360. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for playing! turmoilc.bin turmoil.rpk Edited October 23, 2019 by PeteE add rpk 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jwild #2644 Posted November 2, 2019 I don't use emulators much, but today I was watching live stream of the Chicago World Faire and played along in a separate window. My TI-99/4A is in a different room. Let's get started with a high score of 1928. Good luck everyone. hs1.bmp 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
