+therealbountybob Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) THE FIVE TOWERS Oh no you say, trbb has gone crazy and made it a Tower Round! Sure did! If needed we can make it a 3 weeker ending Sunday 29th September 4pm UK time, the bonus games may not have a lot of play in them but we can hope Round ends Sunday 22nd Sept 10am UK time Cohen's Towers http://a8.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=1628 Interesting note on Fandal's site: In game type FANDA (no relation!) to pick up a key instead of 50pt bonus - I guess this is a cheat so we'll not use it to start with! Tower Toppler fixed file version by Fandal: http://a8.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=5446 We'll have this as a bonus game as I'm still not convinced it works properly! If not we can ask Fandal to get fixing again! The one on Fandal's site does work on a 130XE from mydos with a mypicodos menu; other versions only run from (my)dos itself, otherwise they lock up. >>> requires 130XE press CTRL+number (1-9) for level teleport press SELECT (pause) -> CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER -> SELECT for teleport to the top of tower (don't use on moving elevators!) <<< Kason's Tower http://a8.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=5005 Tower http://a8.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=3260 Tower of Flames (BASIC) http://a8.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=6464 Jigsaw fans can do these too Tower Bridge and Tower of London for an extra bonus!

Deteacher Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I played Cohen's Tower until I got through the first building. 6,800! My first tip is to get the key for an extra life. Your jump timing has to be near perfect in order to get to safety before the plant lands on you. The one saving grace is that the plant collision detection turns off if you're in the process of making a jump. I'll have to check out the other tower games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+slx Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Tried Cohen's Towers but seem to be unable to get on an upward elevator from one of the "walls". Walking on them from the "walls" does not work, and neither does jumping...220 pts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes practice, but you'll get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) Kason's Tower: 1. 5! There's no scoring in this game. Only levels completed. It doesn't seem to get much harder, either...maybe it gets a little faster, but that's about it.

Did you have to deliver all of the letters to finish the building? There's a lot of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you have to deliver them all. Then you go on to building 2. Minor improvement for me: 7,120! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Improved on Cohen's Tower: 8,130. Finished about half of building 2. That dog is fast! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 ^^ So far this looks like Deteacher's game, given he is almost 10x McKong and 50-100x us others who tried the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I will have another go at it. It's a shame that's it's so slow, as I think otherwise it would be a pretty good game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2nd building is kind of a grind. There are only 2 mail drops and the highest one is kind of a trap. If the spy comes out, you're kind of screwed because to get to him, you have to go a floor below. If the spy goes off the screen, you lose a life. So, my solution is to only use the mail drop at the bottom of the building. Very slow going. Despite the slowness, it is a fun game. I agree, it would be nice if the speed was tweaked a bit.

+therealbountybob Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Finally had a session on this round! Kason's Tower made it to level 1 after fixing my button. Tower (BAS) 839 Level 4 - I did put it onto a level 9 but nothing different. Cohen's Towers 490 very tricky but I have at least figured out how to get a few items! Tower Toppler not played yet so I'm hoping it's good and works Tower of Flames did not load from mydos Unfortunately most of these games need locking in the tower so we'll make it until a week tomorrow Sunday 22nd Sept 10am UK time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
