There are other doors that require a key so this is also useful to find. I've managed to map out all of the teleporters now I found the Access card but couldn't figure out where to park to get to it Starquake 5375 Pong 500 (Still quite like this one) Bertryx 0 (Loaded but corrupted :-( ) I'll concentrate on Pong. Bertxy needs BASIC enabling - works on Altirra too. I think we took a look at the Lemmings games when we played the Brundles? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Bertyx 2700 tried that "drill bit" thought it might be tracks for the diggers - on the diggers screen, the one above it and the one after it with the rubble all failed. I did go back out to the start to see if it respawned but I didn't get back in, however, you can use the dynamite on the first screen to destroy the radar dish! Tried it on the last 4 rooms including the rubble one, the top screen of the flashing centre colun, plus the three space shuttles screen, still no joy. Perhaps it activates the drill hanging above the rubble c'mon carlsson Pong 2320 less grumbling and more almost not too bad (!) collected 4 boxes, got a first teleport code "KUSZA" wpisz kodelu translates as "enter the code" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedThunder Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Bertyx 500 Internal Basic selected in Altirra and seems good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) got a first teleport code "KUSZA" I believe the codes are static for each round, so these are the ones I've found: Tulan - top level to the right, just before the drop Daras - down in the cave, where the sign next to Tulan points to Tirus - at the end of cave if you take to the left at the start Miras - if you move to the right past Daras, drop and then to the left I believe I've seen Kusza too, even further down the cave. I suppose keeping these codes at hand can be useful for navigating around the game. Once I was up to 7 balls and two letters "CN" but 0 points... Not sure if the letters are static or a new word for every game. Edit: Ok, I cheated and looked up rest of the codes. Those are Mimas, Winda and Radio which suggests there are exactly 8 teleports in the game. Edited October 12, 2018 by carlsson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Pong - 2965 pts Yes, I had 4 extra balls when I took the screenshot, but managed to waste all of them before I got to another box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedThunder Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) Should be playing Pong really. But here is a drawing of a Starquake detail Indian Ink and reeds again. Edited October 13, 2018 by RedThunder 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 Sadly I didn't find the place to use the "bullets" on Bertyx. I looked for a walkthrough and a translation of the intro text but didn't find anything useful. Moby games has this description: >>> Bertyx is an arcade game. In 3090, remains of a lost civilization under the ice surface of the planet Bertyx were discovered. Contact with the research expedition stopped immediately after unfreezing a found alien. Terence decides to send a robot to the ice base. Its aim is to find nine pieces of a computer access card. After transferring data from the computer, the robot has to start the self-destruct sequence. <<< @Sikor can you help?! Pong 2353 (5 collected) Will do final tables and start next round...

+therealbountybob Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 Congratulations to the winners: McKong for Starquake, trbb for Bertyx and carlsson for Pong Thanks for playing everyone, this round was a little different for the HSC but I think we each found something worth a play in the end: If we can find out where to use the item on Bertyx I'm sure there is a lot more to do on this game. It's my sort of thing, like Chimera, not too big and plays steadily, it could be a really enjoyable game. Pong turns out to be not so bad; the more you play and if you have the patience you can improve. Starquake is one for those who like a challenge and have a large map printed out! It has very slick controls and movement but is just too immense for me That wraps up the Hi-Res games section - my award for the best use of artifacting goes to Bertxy! We didn't play the fantastic Drol or the excellent Crossfire this time and there may be a few others too! final tables Starquake (2pts for playing +1pt for highest% +1pt per item replaced McKong (81,125) 30% 2 items 2pts+5pts+1pt therealbountybob 23% 0 items 2pts carlsson 6 % 0 items 2pts Sikor 5 % 0 items 2pts RedThunder 5 % 0 items 2pts youxia 2 % 0 items 2pts Bertyx 1st therealbountybob 2,700 5pts 2nd carlsson 2,000 4pts 3rd youxia 1,200 3pts 4th Sikor 850 2pts 5th RedThunder 500 1pt Pong 1st carlsson 2,965 5pts 2nd therealbountybob 2,353 4pts 3rd Sikor 525 3pts 4th youxia 500 2pts 5th RedThunder 500 2pts Season 15 Current Standings UPDATED! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I think if someone could do a small hack to Starquake to stop the enemies from respawning whilst you're still on a screen then it might be a bit less difficult 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youxia Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Hold the press! Just before the deadline... Well, nothing to see here actually .Just clamouring for a few token points Starquake: 2% Bertyx: 1200 Pong: 500 Pong knows I hate it and it hates me back: I tried to have a go today, collected 2 boxes and got 0 points for it. That kind of put a damper on my goodwill towards it and it was all about Reset. I don't have a scr$ for my previous attempt so you'll have to take my word for it. I kind of like the gfx in Bertyx, but mine comes out B&W, no artifacting, despite also displaying on a CRT. Though the feed comes from Raspberry. I wonder what's the reason? Is it because of RGB perhaps, or something about emulation? I tried to look up solution on Polish sites, but couldn't find any. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I wonder if trbb runs on NTSC hardware. I never tried Bertyx on my NTSC 800, which however displayed artifacts with some of the other hires games so I suppose it might on this one too. However Poland is not a typical NTSC region so it would be odd if the game on purpose was made to cause artifacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) I did intend to play Pong and Bertyx but ran out of time. I'll have a look at them at some point. I would have liked to have completed Starquake but it's too difficult, for me anyway. One of the things that made it even more difficult for me was the fact that I couldn't get the pause to work on my 800XL. I know that Bob said that it worked on his 130XE but did anyone else try on any other real hardware? I wonder how many people have completed it on the Atari. I know there are some cheat codes but I don't really see the point in that Edited October 15, 2018 by McKong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 My regular setup is a PAL 130XE on CRT (the screenshots were from this) I'm sure some people will like Starquake and have completed it. Will add your scores in youxia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
