HSC18 Round 9: POPEYE


Recommended Posts

Well, I had another go and to me it is a huge feat to even get beyond 10,000 pts so I don't understand how the rest of you are doing it. To me, Popeye is a smidge of a better game than Mountain King, but not by a lot. I give up and accept last place in this round.

 

Edit: I was bored so I tried once more and managed to clear the first level. My top score thus is a meager 16030 pts which seems to put me right above @RedThunder in the bottom region.

Since the round was extended, I gave it one final chance. This time I reached level 3, but completely forgot about using spinach, cages and any other bonus items so my score only became 16200 pts, thus a marginal improvement over yesterday.

 

Usually I bag Brutus at the start for the big bonus. Stay at the top, go in and out from each side collecting 1 note rarely need to go down below, avoid any punching! Use the spinach if in trouble or at some point!

Congratulations to Deteacher (he's probably still playing!!) for a Captain's performance :thumbsup: AtariSphinx takes runner up spot. Thanks for playing guys, let me know if I missed anyone. Next round will start soon.

 

Not sure what others think but I think the more reliable punching makes the game less tense than the original where I cower if I have to do it! Like the new graphics and animation but it's slighly premature toot toot on PAL at the end of the round.
