High Score Competition (June: Road Hunter)

[Opry99er]

Dang...

 

I thought I might have a shot at this.one, too.

[InfernalKeith]

 

Okay, I'm walking away from it now. This one stressed me out. Level 20.

[Opry99er]

Suck.....

 

 

[Iwantgames:)]

Did any one else notice the first 3 numbers??? "666" O_o Keith has unleashed the beast!!!

[mizapf]

What about a championship tournament?

 

The winner of a month gets 15 points, second gets 10 points, third 8, then 5, 3, 1 (or whatever sequence). Then you have a ranking of players over several months, and if you don't win but always finish 3rd or 4th you can have some pretty good position at the end.

 

The downside is that this would require a separate website, which makes it less visible to this forum.

[Opry99er]

This is the absolute best I could do.... I have failed.

Congrats, Keith... I am jealous of both your prize and your Barrage prowess.

 

Well played, good sir.

 

 

I expect nothing but brilliance on your upcoming game selection.

 

 

[InfernalKeith]

Thanks! It's an honor, I'd like to thank the Academy, etc.

 

Let me give this a little thought. Am I to pick the next game and donate the next prize? I have a couple ideas for both, but need maybe 24 hours to think it over.

[marc.hull]

Congrats Keith.

 

Pm me your address and I'll get the bounty shipped out.

[InfernalKeith]

Okay, I have decided to go with a "new classic" for this month's challenge. My vote is for TI Scramble.

 

 

I will announce what the prize is going to be shortly.

 

Good luck!

Awesome, love the game, but I hopelessly suck at it. I'll give it a go nonetheless .

Dont feel bad I suck at this one too lol

[Opry99er]

I as well...

 

But will be giving it a shot soon.

 

 

Need to get it over to my TI. Where can I get the EA5 version?

[Omega-TI]

Where can I get the EA5 version?

 

It's #15 down this list << HERE >> as an E/5

It's also available << HERE >> in a 512K .BIN with many of his other games.

[InfernalKeith]

I picked it because I've hardly played it. When I got Rasmus's 3-in-1 cart I was so into Titanium, it was the only one I gave serious gameplay time to. Going back to revisit the cart the other day, I realized Scramble was pretty kickass, but I'm super new at it. I plan to rectify that this month.

 

Still deciding on the prize -- I think I have something unique for this month.

[Omega-TI]

The link to the TI-Scramble manual appears broken at the TI Gameshelf, so I figured I'd attach it here in case anyone wants it.

Okay, here's the prize package for this month -- a grab bag of old school goodies from my own collection. You get "Entertainment Games in TI BASIC and Extended BASIC," one of the old SAMS book/cassette package combos, "Terrific Games For the TI 99/4A," a cool book of games which make great programming exercises, and an original Not Polyoptics cassette game, "Sengoku Jidai." (I MAY or may not have the original manual for this in my files somewhere. If I do, I'll throw it in.)

 

I know not all of you are as enamored of the original old-school artifacts from our beloved TI's origins, but these are some cool things that I've found useful over the years and I hope they find a good home. Good luck and high scores!

 

Keith

[Opry99er]

Damn fine prize package there, Keith.

 

 

Game on...

[djugel]

my god!! prize of my dreams!

 

I'm gonna get crackin... never played Scramble seriously and always wanted to... pressures on!

[Count9929A]

this is the right time for me to play with this game!

It seems really nice. I have a couple of questions:

1) I am using Classic 99 on a MacBookPro (via wine). I can't find on my keyboard the key to shoot horizontally, only the one that drops bombs. Any help?

2) I just downloaded the game in archived form from GameShelf. The web page says that the source code is available... is it in the archive ?
