Leaderboard: 926065 - Clint Thompson 344000 - Str0m 96775 - Isgoed 91150 - Kal 50830 - doctorclu 35285 - doctor_shred 32445 - Rick Dangerous 19555 - Goochman Let's wind down the year with a fun competition. Up for grabs to the winner is... a prize! (If you need to know what it is in order to play and have fun, then you've missed the point of all of this and should go reconsider what you are doing here with ancient electronic magic devices!) Ground rules 1. *** UPDATE *** Grab the v4 rom from the first post in the release thread: 2. On the title screen, press OPTION and select Game Mode: Advanced 3. Play until out of lives and post your scores below, as shown on the GAME OVER screen: 3. Competition closes at midnight, 24th Decemeber (In **MY** timezone - GMT + 10:30) and the winner will be announced the next time I'm at the keyboard sober enough to do so after this time. Good luck, and may the best space-ship flying, zombie slaying, bug killing gardener win! 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilco Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Damn, I wish I had a skunkboard now. There isn’t any other way to participate except with the game drive and skunkboard right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilco Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 If it was made out of pure gold I’d be willing to think about it, I get that it’s a prototype but that price is insane.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s no problem, I really appreciate you searching for one! I’ve been looking for one for a while now but I guess I’ll just have to wait until the V5 board are ready from @cubanismo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else I'll see if I can get some builds LinkoVitch patiently built for me running on my Catalina machine sometime today. ------ (55 minutes later) Yep, got JCP running with Catalina now.

+CyranoJ Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 Had a report of the game crashing around the 60-70k score mark. I've not managed to get that high myself, but I have sent the person a new test ROM which I hope will fix the problem. I'll make it public once confirmed. What is causing it appears to be a rare edge-case, so in the meantime keep playing and posting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 UPDATE: Thanks to DrClu a couple of issues have now been corrected, please use the v3 ROM for the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Nice! Playing that new rom now, so far so good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I don't think I made it past 47k the first few times I played it but I see the Doc needs some competition so I'm going to have to give it another shot or two 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Fun game - but damn that Spider is so unfair :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I only noticed 1 thing I thought was weird. If I had a wall of mushrooms on the LH side the biopede would snake down vertically which is expected. However if I cleared the mushrooms it seemed as if the biopede would go into straight down mode in the same spot the mushrooms were previously for the rest of my game - level change or not. This happened on 2 of my games only on the RH side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
