zaphro72 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I was just playing this on the arcade machine yesterday, my highscore on it was nowhere close to this haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangia-Boy Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Q-Bert will be a tough job. I barely reached the 100K as my personal best many years ago. But I like the game more than Choplifter. I'm very surprised that I have survived the last round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serguei2 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 5175 For this one, I would better playing with keyboard. The gamepad is just unprecise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 The game that gets in my head with perspective and controls. And taught me to curse. @!?! What's everyone preferred control scheme here? Since I'm emulating, I've turned my DualShock3 at an angle and end up using both thumbs on the d-pad. 46,400 Level 3-3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphro72 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 On my MAME arcade I just sit at an angle to make it easier, so I assume for colecovision I will just hold the controller on an angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) I was always a passive Q*bert fan, but I'm really getting the hang of this and enjoying it more than I remembered! 90,455 Level 4-4 Edited December 9, 2020 by fakecortex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northcoastgamer Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Another classic that reeks originality and should be played every year in this HSC. I enjoy watching the scores improve over the week. Good Luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 No success coming close to my high, but I did play a little on NES, and I now like the CV version even more. The NES one is incredibly sluggish. I always remembered having trouble with that cart, and coming off of the precise and fast controls of the Colecovision, the Nintendo one just doesn't cut it. This is a game where you have to move quickly, so slow controls is a big no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 "It's not easy being Q*bert, but it's fun!" And I just have to share this. The production value in a commercial for a board game is quite nice, haha. I want to play these! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really would deserve a Colecovision HSC first place. I've been impressed with Brian's play the past few seasons. There are some games - very few - where I crush him and some games where he crushes me. What stands out about Brian's play is that he is almost always a top-3 player across a wide variety of games. In games where neither he nor I are in the top 2, he's still up there at 3 or 4 when I'm down at 7 or 8. Players like him and NCG aren't just good at many games... they EXCEL at many games! That level of competition makes these seasons more fun, if you ask me. Pushes me to improve at games I otherwise would not have played much with; the result of this is that I've grown to enjoy some games more than I thought I would (Mountain King, for example). Winning a season would be nice, but it's not important to me. Frankly, I enjoy the fact that I'm not number one sometimes. It tells me that there's still other people who love Colecovision games and have enough fun with them to excel at them. We are not alone in our passion for these wonderful games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
