+therealbountybob Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Miner 225,625 still losing too many lives by improving my route on Station 5, and being generally careless on Station 10. Bonus Challenge #0 improved to 13,905 @McKong please can you try Zone 10 Station 3 on cart to see if quicker movement lets you get the squares on the top right bug area etc. Also try Zone 10 Station 9 and see if it has super energy jumps - I vaguely remember it being able to jump right across the screen instead of using the moving platforms Got a bit further on JSW, better ignoring the harder screens and exploring further - 15 items. Found a bug when jumping right from ladder to Ballroom West went into an endless fall loop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found a bug when jumping right from ladder to Ballroom West went into an endless fall loop That's not a bug, it's JSW feature, and highly annoying! You can lose all your lives if you fall in some places in the game. Yeah I'll try the Miner zone 10 things tomorrow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Failed on Miner but (re)found a couple of new jumps/drops! Had a look at Station 3 - possible on Zone 7 and 8(just), but 9 seems impossible as does 10, though I think 9 might be 1/1000 possible if you get the timing right - teleport to 4, jump over left mutant get item and leg it right Found a few more sections on JSW, unsuprisingly most of them too difficult Season 17 Current Standings Updated!

(it's definitely station 3 you meant cos this didn't seem too difficult?) On Zone 10 Station 9 you are to jump from the platforms on the right into the shoot on the left, but not onto the platforms on the left as far as I can see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how did you do it? Possibly cart movement is faster. Probably video needed. Z10 S9 can you so super jumps (like when you have the super energy pills in BBSB) - I remember being able to jump great distances on the Cart ver of miner than my friend had? Bonus Challenge #0 - 13,965 earlier today and 13,985 tonight!

Probably need to see a video some time - on Z10 S4 can you then jump off that platform up the ladder at the start and reach somewhere? Had a 220K go just now, some regular death places and stupidly missed a square on the cannon screen so had to fire myself with the overload on!!

carlsson Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Jet Set Willy 2019 - 12 items I took a different detour than before and grabbed a few more items, though the difficulty ramps up very quickly and I strongly doubt I'll be able to get more than those. I also had another attempt at Miner 2049er but I still can't get past that third level. I may need to look up a playthrough to figure it out.

I may need to look up a playthrough to figure it out. There's a great learning curve on the game, great as in good not large! You should find after a few goes that the first screen is no problem and the 2nd one should soon follow, both are about working out where to stand to do the jumps. Best to attack the screens and get your confidence up. The third screen is much easier than first appears - many routes, work out what is difficult and look for another way, e.g. you can drop off from platform edges [3] or [4] you can jump down to [2] etc. Concentrate on taking out the mutants and then go back for the squares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Yeah, my problem is that I can clear everything on level 3 except for reaching platform 3. I tried to jump from above both from the left and right but the jump was too far from either side. Getting to platform 2 works for me though.

Ha, I'm glad I'm not the only one that doesn't bother to read the manuals!

It's never too late to enjoy a timeless game, Miner really holds up extremely well Watch out for this one: Yesterday's go was very promising, no lives lost until Zone 5 but then fell for some of the traps and route changes, made some notes deteacher, still time for another go or twenty beofre the week is out 299,940 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
