m-crew Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 16 minutes ago, IntyFanMatt said: I would be good with that, BUT, in games that allow point farming like that you can have people doing it forever in the first level and never progressing through the game. I feel like there should be some progression, so I do think there needs to be a certain minimum progression set in order to "qualify" a score for the HSC. Just my thoughts. I still think it should be points or progression. Depending on game. If farming can be an issue or not. We we never really had an issue, most of us that play in the HSC are here for the fun of playing the games (with a competitive edge to it ) ? Some integrity is involved as well.

Some integrity is involved as well. Agreed, it's all for fun. A game like this though can be played for either points or progression...so there should be an element of both in the scoring. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 It's no different than lots of other video games. For the highest scores you should maximise points every round e.g. donkey kong, pacman. I'd just leave it at points. If someone wants to point farn, I'd be curious what score they could get.

I guess we just play on, farm a bit if want to... but don't just stay on level 1, which would be an easy way to score high. Later levels its not easy to farm anyway. If I remember correct. Games with maze boosts should reward the BIG points for clearing the stage, and keep points earned during levels low. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish this game rewarded the player with big points when levels were completed, that would make it even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is methodical for sure. But I love the strategy of it, plus the graphics and sound are amazing for the system. I heard Mystic Castle is a big improvement on the pace of the game. I gotta play that game but don’t have a way to yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant imagine farming .. you would just fall asleep.... lmao I got to level 5 with that score... your scored 40k more in 3 levels.. It must of took you an hour/s to get that score.. Too boring for me... But I can see the lure of this game for some.. Mystic Castle a vast improvement thats for sure.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I like the fact that you can play this game longer than a lot of Intellivision games out there. I am just a fan of maze games like this in general. To each his own.

mr_me Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) That's quite a score. What round of levels did you get to? People who play for distance often keep their score low, always grabbing the comb. That way they get more free lives.

Just surprised you put that much time and effort into a game that you seem to hate, LOL. So what level did you get to anyway? Is that level 3, 6, or 9?
