Back on the road again for 2 weeks... this time to the mountains!

Enjoy these mountainous games!!!

[DrMooCowz]

Opportunity to share a desktop background I made once. I forget how many screens it is for the BMX race (30+?), but that wasn't reasonable to do them all and still be able to see any detail, so this is good enough. Enjoy!

[Isaiah Austin]

Mountain King: 17900

 

 

Spike's Peak: 8200

 

 

California Games: 14920

 

[toiletunes]

Me, playing Spike's Peak, level one:

"What am I doing wrong? The bird kills me in three seconds!" (reads manual) "Oh, now I get it."

 

Me on level two: "Now what am I doing wrong?" (reads manual some more) "Oh, nothing's wrong, it just plays like that."

Mommy, what is the snowman doing to that man?

 

 

Don't look junior, they're just dancing...

 

 

 

[Lauren Tyler]

Mountain King: 9,200 (Got bored and had to go out.)

 

Spike's Peak: 9,850 (Gonna need some practice.)

California Games: 15,100 (At least it's better than the NES game!)

[Jasonhrb]

Improvement at California games 

[fakecortex]

Week RTFM amiright? Played MK on cv before but need a refresher. And what a late release for California games, but it really pushes the system graphically. The hackysack level looks and plays pretty good!

[Jasonhrb]

Cracked 30k on California games. Am well pleased with that?, although the big guns will doubtless be along in due course to put me in my place on (literally  ?) that score ???

[ZilchSr]

Never played any of these ?

Adding a new Spike's Peak score

[MrTrust]

King - 43,280, Peak - 18,500, Games 18,980.  Brutal selection this round.

 

Someone should make a reversed version of Mountain King based on Fritz Lang's M.  Instead of chasing the sound of "Hall of the Mountain King", it tells you when Peter Lorre is sneaking up on you and you have to run away and escape.

Spike's Peak : ROLLAGE ( 1,000,000 pts )

a few screenshots here, and excuse the Congo Bongo pic, that was the last game I was recording.

I must say that for Spike's Peak, in addition to your climber extremely difficult to move around, this game includes the worst of the worst when it comes to Atari 2600 sound effects.  The background noise on the second screen reminds me of the sounds I used to hear when I fried cartridges as a kid.  And if the bars below the score run low (which I think means you're close to getting frostbite), the alarm that sounds (for the next several seconds while you wait for your climber to eventually die) is maddening.

 

Props to @nads for being the first to master this game and roll the score.  I get the impression that once you become consistent passing all three boards, the sky is the limit since the difficulty doesn't increase.

Spot on! once you figure out a strategy the game then becomes fairly easy, however the second screen is still the toughest.

One extra thing I did discover when you hit the Rollage, is that you no longer earn an extra life at every 100k which makes rolling it twice harder.
