AtariWarlord Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Rainbow Island 74,140. I don't think much success with CA&TA will be in the cards for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynicaster Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 Rainbow Islands - 338,180 Kind of surprised how unfamiliar I am with this considering it’s the sequel to Bubble Bobble. Interesting game, although I get the impression there are tons of points I’m missing by running through the boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You set the DIPs to “3 lives” but the game ends when you die once. Regardless, let’s keep it at no continues to be consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hero2billions Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Bubble bobble is one of my all time favorites, but rainbow island is new to me as well. Hope this helps https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Rainbow_Islands/Getting_Started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youxia Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Captain America - 79,001 Rainbow Islands - 73,460 Brawlers is one of my favourite genres but I just don't feel CA. Odd game. All these superheroes feel so weak... Still, it's a kinda interesting change from the normal brawler template. Rainbow Islands is pure genius on the other hand, I finally "got" it, after not understanding it at all while playing all the computer ports. It seems like one of these games which take weeks/months to truly master, and I've only got a few hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariWarlord Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Captain America and the Avengers 5,200. Mainly just posting this to get a score on the board. Holy crap what a cheap quarter-gobbler, although I admit I enjoyed playing with Vision. Off-topic but somewhat relevant: video games that started with that FBI warning "Winners don't use drugs" just made me want to do drugs out of spite.

Razzie.P Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 This up for anyone to join, or gotta sign up somewhere? I've been interested in the HS clubs I see on here, but can never seem to catch them at the beginning and always tell myself "I'll get in on the next one." I've always loved Cap and the Gang, so feels like a good place to start. I checked out the pinned rules thread, but have 2 quick questions, please -- 1) Do I choose one of the 2 games to submit for this round? Or do I submit a score for both? 2) The rules say that games will run for 1 week each, but the message listed above says we have until July 12. This mean I need to submit a score for Cap by today (one week from the posting), and Rainbow Islands by July 12th (date listed above), or we have until July 12th for both (assuming we enter a score for both)? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
