High Score Competition (June: Road Hunter)

[marc.hull]

Cool I'm in ... Start at level 1 I assume?

Yes start at the beginning.

[Vorticon]

I have never heard of that game. Where can it be found?

WHTech—Check sitelist.txt in the root directory. It also looks like it is on the 2014 DVD from the Chicago Faire.

The game caught my attention many years ago because it makes use of IDLE.

[+arcadeshopper]

Whoa a game not on the multicarts!

[Vorticon]

28620... Not worth grabbing a picture of yet. I am being frustrated by my joystick though. I'm using a Logitech Gamepad, and the game does not register the analog stick motion unless it is exactly in one of the 4 major cardinal directions, which is annoying.

I really like the game, but I can see it raising my blood pressure eventually I unfortunately have a very short attention span when it comes to arcade games, so I'm not sure how long I will hold my interest.

[Tursi]

Never saw that one either, nice game!

 

52,480.

 

[+OLD CS1]

Nifty. BASIC conversion to cart?

[sparkdrummer]

[+Ksarul]

We'll have to keep track of games like this to see if we can fill up a Games 7 cartridge. . .

[djugel]

Isn't it on multi cart #4 ?

I am pretty sure it is also on Ksarul 2048K game module, I like the game...but I am travelling to double check.

[+Ksarul]

Globeron is right, everything in Games 1-4 is on the 2048K cartridge, and this game is one of them.

[+arcadeshopper]

gah so i tried this with the handwreckers on my nanopeb system and ow.. no way i can get close to those scores on that

[jedimatt42]

I gave it a shot, got 74040, saw the league I'm not in, and went back to filing parts.

 

I had never heard of this one before. I love this thread for that reason, even if I don't stick my head up here often. This one is fun, and uniquely, death can be strategic.

Are the orbs in the middle a reference to the John Carpenter movie "Starman" ?

 

Weird game, like a dumbed down Robotron meets Defender or Missle Command.

It's a variation on "rip off" from the arcade:

[djugel]

Ooooo ... Just noticed Rip Off was released on Vectrix!

 

So anyone break 300,000 yet?

[mizapf]

My first try ...

[Vorticon]

My first try ...

 

If you win, will you put up your LX-200 as the next prize? That will absolutely motivate me

[djugel]

285,990

 

Breaking 300,000 is starting to seem out of reach. And yes I have pictures of these scores ... Won't be satisfied til I break 300
