AtariSphinx Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 No score update for me as my feet are waterlogged and lost the key to the spaceship cockpit. Congrats everyone on a great paper metal finals and season! I joined mid season just to see how my score measured up to those of all the great Atari players in HSC. Somewhere along the way I caught the competition bug and it has been a blast! Thanks to @Vocellifor your efforts running HSC and see you all next season! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe since there were 6 in the final there can be one winner and two people who choose games for next season. I had the high score on two of the three games but that’s the way the cookie crumbles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oyamafamily Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Hi Vocelli, there's a correction to make: @AtariSphinx score is 49,640 in River Raid (SEE post #144 in this topic). @AtariSphinx and other finalists: PLEASE, double check the final leaderboard after the correction mentioned above.

Correct,there is an error now though it was correct last night. Looks like the numbers got transposed. Should be 49,640. My other scores are correct.

AtariSphinx Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Congrats @oyamafamily! Well done! @gbag great scores! Would love to get any tips on your stargate score. You were so close to winning it. Thanks to the those in the paper metal tournament for making it exciting and fun. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbag Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 My stargate strategy is quickly fly around and kill all but 3 - 5 humans. Then slowly let the remaining humans get captured and rescue them over and over...do not kill any of the things that steal humans unless they are abducting a human. This is especially important for levels above 10 because it’s simply too fast and hectic otherwise. You hover over the humans and use the radar and you should be able to do 10+ k per level. I think I got to level 14 or 15. Did that make sense? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was easier for me but scoring is more limited even though was able to hit 116,900. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After completing the Root Bear maze (green maze on NTSC TV type), you enter the yellow, red, orange and then green maze again in the sequence, which are originally balloon, train, cat and Root beer mazes, respectively. My tips: - Practice with the following game variations: Balloon, Train, Cat and Root Beer levels with 4 ghosts, including red ghost named Blinky. - Keep your eyes open to Blinky, the most aggressive and fastest ghost. - Draw the 4 mazes mentioned above and highlight the "danger zones", which are areas in which you get trapped by two or more ghosts easily. Then, use these areas with extreme caution! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the breakthrough to get 40k+ scores was trying not always stay as far away as possible from the ghosts which was counter intuitive for me. Let them come close, leaving an escape route, the run to the other side eating as may pellets. Draw them close again then run to the other side. Repeat and don't get greedy. And make sure to get the toy candies when safe as they are 5k points each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
