+JasonlikesINTV Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 By the way, if any new programmers out there are in search of a project, may I recommend re-doing Frogger with good music and better controls? It doesn't even have to be very fancy -- the same limited conversion as the Parker Bros. version would be fine. All it needs is proper music and more responsive controls. -dZ. This. I have no clue how you guys navigated the vehicle portion in the higher levels. The disc was very unresponsive for quick darting about. LOTS of unregistered clicks. I thought it might be my controller, but it was plenty responsive for Carol and Worm Whomper. I could have scored way higher with better movement control.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Who will win the Game 3 ? Bamse, you won't [/font][/color] Scalpel will surely win this. It's Q-Bert! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpisacane Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 You are completely right about it being an issue with the programming. I tried playing it using Jzintv and an arcade stick, and I still had problems with unregistered movements. The later stages were still very difficult when trying to cross the road, just as you said.

What would my score be if it did.. But we all played with the same limitations which makes bamse high score very impressive ...

Bamse Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I found the controls fine. There were occasions when I pressed the disc and it didn't move but not so much as to spoil the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to me it happened constantly, but I could make up for it because the game is sort of simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I don't understand how anyone "couldn't" have played Christmas Carol. I think they just "didn't." It happens all the time in high score clubs, right? A couple people don't play a game. Those who do however, get points. Anyone can play that game if they want to. If they can make it to the HSC, that means they have (at least occasionally) access to a computer, and (at least occasional) internet access... which is also, coincidentally, all one needs to play Christmas Carol vs the Ghost of Christmas Presents! Well, whatever you decide you're the cap'n. But I would think, why not include people's scores who DID decide to play? Isn't that always what we get points for anyway? If Intymike and ed1475 couldn't play, we can't include Christmas Carol but if Intymike and ed1475 refused to play, I could include it... they have to tell me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 BTW, Frogger... yeah control problem hell! I kinda got used to it though, & got better. Still many of my deaths were unfair... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 ... I made Ranger Elf again! Didn't have much time to play & it seemed really hard after several years so I'm very pleased with that. If I'd had more time this round I'm sure I would have trashed my previous best x) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpel Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Awww And I finally didn't do that bad. Oh well. I don't understand how anyone "couldn't" have played Christmas Carol. I think they just "didn't." It happens all the time in high score clubs, right? A couple people don't play a game. Those who do however, get points. Anyone can play that game if they want to.

Ok, we are counting the Christmas Carol competition too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamse Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Got to play this on the actual hardware using my new LTO cart. As I thought, a lot easier and much more fun than using the laptop. Finally saved Christmas 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its where the mighty go to die. LOL! I curse myself for designing it every time I play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
