Vocelli Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Week 5 Commando CLARIFICATION: No use of CHEATS, emulation advantages, bugs, cart frying or other variables that gives you an unfair advantage in this HSC. Please assume you have to follow the game difficulty and mode for the playing week/s. There cannot be any game enhancements or favorite settings to play in the 2600 HSC, unless you are given authorization to do so by your humble yet strict MODERATOR! Vocelli Commando Released By: Activision Left Difficulty: B Right Difficulty: B Game Mode: Game 1 Post your scores right here in this thread, and we will add them to the list. Remember to play the game with the recommended game mode and difficulty settings as shown above so that your scores will be consistent with everyone else. The deadline for posting scores is Midnight (EST) the evening of Sept 22, 2019 SPECIAL SCORING: Since you can basically can sit on the first screen and just shoot enemies over and over and spam points… This game rankings will be based this week on MEDALS! The more MEDALS you get… the higher your rank. Of Note: The most Medals you can get on Commando is 8. So, once your have 8 Medals you can kill yourself off and take your pic. And here is the added twist… After the Medals, the rankings will be based on LOWEST SCORE. So… Medals are the key… followed by the lowest score. Example: 3 Medals – 15000 Points Beats 3 Medals – 17000 Points Bonus: No Bonus this week.

+Atari_Warlord Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 My first attempt. I had this for the 7800 but never played the 2600 version. It's not to bad. I'll need to think a little more on how to minimize my score. I think I saw a score jump when I picked up grenades and I wasn't sure how many soldiers I could just walk past. I like the creative scoring. I used to make up my own method for games that didn't have a score, such as time to complete for Adventure and Superman.

It feels more like a novelty setup for bonus points than the primary competition. I understand the spamming thing but then why choose a game that's so easy to spam?

I’m pretty sure you earn a medal when you clear a stage i.e. Blow up the Fort and the end of the stage 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the spamming thing but then why choose a game that's so easy to spam? Go HAM. Because the first measure is the number of medals, you don't have to worry about the points to beat most of the field. I'm sure there will be people that get all 8, but anyone that doesn't wont be able to top your score if you do. So score all the points you can, get all 8 medals and I'm feeling pretty good you will finish in the top 10 without having to worry about your score at all. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nads Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) I like this game, but this will be my only post. I think the key to getting lower scores will not too pick up more than 2 Grenades, avoiding the enemies as best you can and NOT losing any lives. Losing a Life sets you back to a point in the stage where you have to repeat and thus scoring more points unnecessarily COMMANDO 1BB : 42,200 & 8 MEDALS Edited September 14, 2019 by nads 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Make that 16,200 with 8 medals. I can shave a few points off because I did kill some enemies just to get through all 8 levels. The game is pretty easy after a few practice rounds. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
