Ramses Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) Do you have clairvoyance powers?? It was one of my guesses as well. It's often considered one of the hardest Atari games. However, I don't find the arcade version too bad, though I'm not saying it's easy. You, S.BAZ, and Youxia will probably still destroy me. S.BAZ brought up a good point though. Are we using "Total Score" or "Strength" for Golden Axe? After looking around online, I've seen others using Strength for their score, so I'm now guessing that's probably the one to use.

Cynicaster Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 My word, Hippodrome is painful. It reminds me of a bad Genesis game or something. Hippodrome - 21,240 Golden Axe - 117.8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariWarlord Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Now that Emuparadise is no more, I have to be careful where I get my ROMs so no Golden Axe for me. Hippodrome is just awful, so I think I'll be skipping this round (or at best putting up a token score). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Thanks, Leto for sharing the roms! CoolRom is working for me right now but there have been times when I can't make that site work for some reason. (Then again, there was a time when I couldn't use Emuparadise either, before they took down the roms.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youxia Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 The irony...brawlers are my favourite arcade genre, and I'm totally outscored here (77.5 so far in GA). And the less said about Hippodrome the better...it's not even that the game itself is poor - I just completely fail these days at this kind of fighter and can't stomach the gameplay. Back in the 16-bit days I quite liked them though (but was never any good even then). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
