Vocelli Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 I concede. There is no chance I can even come close to that. JasonAtari advances to the next round! Thanks GType for a great season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 2478 - 801 = 1677 I guess the biggest issue is figuring out how to get a high enough score so that the score difference will be higher when the squirrel loses its last life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_Atari Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I concede. There is no chance I can even come close to that. I would say my win was more luck of the draw. All the best for next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-type Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I was struggling to top your first score, but that was still within the realm of possibility. Congratulations, and good luck on the rest of the bracket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Spriggy Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Time Pilot - Game 1 B/B 27,300 Played on: Retropie with original CX40 (via DB9 adaptor) Getting close to Lids score. Those flying saucers are kicking my ass. Soldier on. Never played this before. Quite impressed with the port considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicgamer_27330 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 At least 110,000 is the one that has to be beaten, not my latest score in Dark Chambers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrabbler15 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Quick Step: 2648 - 782 = 1866 Didn't really know how I could do any better and then this happened. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 HOW did you do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrabbler15 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 HOW did you do that? I started using a 'Chase The Squirrel' strategy. When the squirrel went to the bottom row to turn all the squares purple, I tried to duck in behind and follow him across so the tiles would be green just as they dropped off the screen. It's riskier, especially since losing a rabbit is not an option. For the big score, everything came together. I got all the white 'stunning' squares and I usually had the squirrel stunned on the second row from the bottom, not the last., so I could be scoring while the squirrel was sitting still. But the squirrels didn't die too fast to get the low score, because they would start jumping before falling off this screen. I was shocked at the score, when the game ended. I kept trying to do the math in my head, but decided that I should please, please get a picture of the score without bumping the Atari and use a calculator later. , 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Tyler Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Scrabbler15: I have tried my hardest to achieve a score difference like yours, but I just admit I am lacking in my skills at Quick Step. Perhaps with time and practice I shall gain better skills at this game, but I don't feel that, at this time, I can match your skills. Thus, I hereby concede to you. You have defeated me fair and square and in a very well played manner. I congratulate you on a well played match and I wish you the best in the rest of the bracket. I know there is still one day left, but given how much difficulty I have had with this game, I've found I only get more and more frustrated the more I play. So I wish to concede a day early. Congratulations, Scrabbler15! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicgamer_27330 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 205,000 is the best I can do on Dark Caverns so far. Even though it is impressive, I'm not going to post a pic unless I can beat 295,000 tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Thanks, Lauren Tyler. You push me farther than I thought I go. It was great week of competition. . Speak for yourself!

+Spriggy Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Thanks Lid. Only just pipped you. We're about 12 hours ahead down here in Western Australia. I went to bed this morning, after nightshift, fully expecting to wake up and find my time trounced by you! Well done and good luck to all remaining 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Time Pilot is a weird game for me. When I'm playing, it seems easy and I feel I could go on and on. But I always lose my plane and it's very frustrating. There's something in this game that doesn't go well with me. Congratulations and good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vocelli Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 The Games are set.... randomly drawn. You may start to play and post NOW! Remember.... make it FUN! Post often and don't wait until the last day to post. Concede when you think you have NO CHANCE of beating your opponent. If there is a tie... you both advance.

Jason_Atari Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I'm not even going to post a score in Rampage. I didn't even make 30,000 the last time we played and Scrabbler rolled it. Congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
