Vocelli Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 Happy Halloween! 2 Strange weird games! Ghost Manor: Read the directions.... it is a strange one. Room of Doom: I think a pretty solid game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I've always loved Ghost Manor, though like Cosmic Ark this might not be the best game to play competitively since there is an incredibly cheese ball strategy you can use to rack up 500,000+ points in one particular part of the game. For my first try I just played normally without using the point farming exploit. Ghost Manor (Game 1, B/B Difficulty): 151,751 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari PAC-MAN Fan Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) I think Room Of Doom is a pretty solid game, but the controls in game #1 REALLY takes some time to figure out! I spent nearly 3 hours on this game, so I'm obviously sick of it. However, after I spent some time with the the game, I think I finally got a score that I'm satisfied with. (for now) That's enough Atari for one night! Room Of Doom (Game 1, Difficulty B/B): 12,725 I'll try out Ghost Manor tomorrow. It looks pretty interesting. Also: GOD my wrist is sore from that!

CobraMJD Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Room of Doom, 4350 Reached Room 07 Ghost Manor Score upgraded - 24054 How do I kill Dracula? I used both my crosses with no effect on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Let's get Room of Doom out of the way first, since I have no cart. Really interesting concept, but I don't like emulation too much. Ghost Manor I actually have, will play it later. 5,475 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Ghost Manor: 14,250. Can't figure out how to get rid of Dracula. The cross doesn't seem to do anything, no matter how close I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nads Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Ghost Manor: 14,250. Can't figure out how to get rid of Dracula. The cross doesn't seem to do anything, no matter how close I am. What you need to do is position yourself directly below Dracula, and underneath the prison where the boy/girl is held captive. Press and hold the fire button, this will push Dracula up, hold the button until Drac swaps places with prisoner. Now get back to where you started in this room and wait til your newly freed prisoner gets there as well 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the timer only last 4 minutes, going for the highest possible score in that time I feel more challenging than simply beating the game. But I do get where are coming from, it may not be in the spirit of the game or how it was intended to be played Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari PAC-MAN Fan Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) Ghost Manor is a pretty ambitious game for the Atari 2600. There's a lot going on in this game. However, it really could have benefited from more polish. Not to mention the point-pressing glitch that Jin pointed out.

Deteacher Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Ghost Manor: 151,750 I don't even know how to point press this game, so I'm not even sure if I inadvertently did or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 161,750! Do you get more bonus points if you finish it faster? I went through pretty quick, and managed 10K better than before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oyamafamily Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) Room of Doom Game 1 B/B - COMPLETED - 51,850 / GOOD GAME To achieve this score, I used the technique based on the trick provided by Keilbaca at 2600 OLD HSC Season 8, Week 7 (September 2010). “You have LOTS of time in the earlier levels. You can milk shooting the monster that chases you in the early levels until time runs to about 5 seconds left on the top. You get no bonus points for completing a level based on time, so milk that monster.” Statistics in the video above (with scores and marks at the ENDING of each stage): Room 01: 02:53 - 003250 Room 02: 06:41 - 006900 Room 03: 09:26 - 010150 Room 04: 12:57 - 013900 Room 05: 16:00 - 017200 Room 06: 19:38 - 021050 Room 07: 22:30 - 024450 Room 08: 26:21 - 028250 Room 09: 29:10 - 031600 Room 10: 32:41 - 035250 Room 11: 34:51 - 038150 Room 12: 37:29 - 041350 Room 13: 39:44 - 044200 Room 14: 41:58 - 047100 Room 15: 44:13 - 049500 Room 16: 46:25 - 051850 / GOOD GAME Edited October 28, 2018 by oyamafamily 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
