Supergun Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Exactly. Mass confusion here. Look, I used to play River Raid with player 2 just so I could change the color of the plane from yellow to black & try to trick people. Is this an Easter egg or a glitch? This thread is all over the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is all over the map. Lot's of unknowns if we had the answers this would not be all over the map that is common sense!!!! I can tell you that the point of this post is in hopes, that someone who has skills in programming and code as I do as a gamer breaks into it to find out!!!!!!!!

+Mitch Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Before asking questions, you should clearly describe what you are looking for. I think he is asking how to get the highest possible score and whether it is purely skill based or if there is any randomness involved.

Nukey Shay Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Disabling obstacles would reveal the maximum possible score (unless the game relies on some kind of pattern or code to get further than normal). Keep in mind that "verified high scores" are not always correct. Todd Rogers' Barnstorming HS was revealed to be impossible (Twin Galaxies Coffeestaingate scandal). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukey Shay Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I get 62560 by making the player invincible...you have to shift from lo to hi at mid-speed when beginning each of the 2 runs. But you'd *need* to turn to follow the course in a regular game, which lowers your speed throughout. Give it a whirl yourself...I'm already bored with this topic.

macdlsa Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) It's a matter which has been fought since 1984 here in Italy, since we all could read in a magazine (of course italian: VideoGiochi - Jackson Publishing Group, No. 13 - March, 1984) that the top score achieved by a player was 61110 points. Now ... after at least a period of 20 years in which I have returned to videogames as a hobby, I met several people, including some of the editors and reviewers who had also worked for that magazine, as well as in many others.So, they say that the "videogara" contenders, in order to validate a score, necessary send up photos that "testify the true" ! Assuming, then, that the reported scores are REAL, take a little 'a look at the next pictures..................................................................................... 65860 ?!??!! 170000 pts ?!??!!???!!!????!!!!?????!!!!! ... If everything is as it should be (that the photo was sent and then validated, taking that at the time there were no photoshop or related...) may be that (at least with PAL version, the one played here) there must be "something" (easter-egg ?!?) that at some point and/or a "particular" racing behaviour give a substantial surplus-bonus points !!! Oh yeah... it might be worth to look deep in the Pole Position code ... ((( in the last picture you could see my personal highest score, 60910, made on my full-PAL system ))) Edited March 10, 2017 by macdlsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KaeruYojimbo Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) lol There's a guy who hangs out near where I work with one of those guitars that has a built-in amp and speaker. He'll stand on the sidewalk and pluck the same note over and over for hours. I often wonder if he hears what he's playing as an amazing guitar solo. Similarly, I wonder if you look at your posts and see English. Edited March 11, 2017 by KaeruYojimbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
