Yeah, they really do. I just assumed I'd easily get 100k+, but nope... skill 3 is a different beast. You have to get the pipes and the bonus much sooner or else it's a duckfest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectorGamer Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 If you're playing on real hardware try using the roller controller. It's more precise than the stock controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuggerVideoGames Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 [Skill 3]: 28,800 pts. I have doubts about hitting the 100k rollover on this skill level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northcoastgamer Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Interesting. It's amazing how sometimes just 1 skill/game level can be a difference. Have a good weekend folks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuggerVideoGames Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 [Skill 3]: 40,750 pts Took a handful of tries just to get over 30k. You need everything to be almost perfect for you, or else it snowballs on you in a hurry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEFF31 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I've tried several times to increase my earlier score but can't seem to crack the 8K barrier.... to many missed shots! Back to trying again & again & again... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEFF31 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Just curious... Have any of the original releases not been played (any level)? I realize some 'don't' fit... but was just, well curious... Also - on a different subject - Decathlon - still curious to know how the game scoring works. I don't have the skill to 'dump' the code, but I'd give it a whirl if someone could send the source code to me... I 'programmed' computers for most of my career - but NOT this type. Probably take me a few years to figure out - but HEY - it's my time. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Just when you think you’re about to finish a round, those ducks start piling up. This version is so much better than the Intellivision one, it’s night and day. For starters, I actually keep the music on haha. Another example of Coleco sabotaging another system lol. I probably bring this up every time I play in either HSC. Carnival skill 3 - 9,050 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northcoastgamer Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 In a round of relentless difficulty, Dugger proves to be the top shot, setting a Skill 3 record in the process. Nicely done DVG! Thanks once again to everyone that partook in this "quack" of a round! Thank You! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
