Rickster8 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) 1st Entry for the 2nd Course - Working from home today so lunchtime I ran some races on Course 2. Some okay times and then this happened. One crash otherwise it 'might' have been under 6 minutes...? @BiffMan Dude you are right, this course is a BLAST. I've learned to do a wicked drift on the 180 hook when you start a new lap... I haven't perfected it though as that's where my 1 crash was, but when that one works it's pretty sweet ? So far both courses.... Course 1 Red Car - 3:15 Course 2 Red Car - 6:05 Edited July 28, 2020 by Rickster8 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you hit 6:05 with a wreck, you can probably get under 6 minutes with red. I know 1980gamer was able to hit 5:50 on track 2 in the read car, so that's probably the perfect lap target since he was also able to do 3:11 on track 1 which is 1 second better than I can do with red on it with what I consider a completely clean run. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INTELLIVISION SPARTAN Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I thought I would power up the cart and hit the high-scores.... but it’s been a really long time.... so I forgot the courses and I’m perfecting my drifting still.

gar0u Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 When I got my first Intellivision, we bought Star Strike at the same time. Of course, it came with Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack, which was an interesting game for a 10 year old to play all the time... The next game we bought was Auto Racing, and I was NEVER any good at it. I'll give the courses a try, maybe with the green car, but I'll probably be focusing on Night Stalker until Sunday, then patiently wait for Game #4. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
