carlsson Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Also I think trbb transposed RedThunder's scores on the two games. Good thing that we have one final week to catch-up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariSphinx Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Busy Baby: 53,360 Made it to point K. Lost most of my lives to 'wet diapers' on the ? pads which feels unfair given that it seems random. Guess that maybe why they give out extra lives every so many levels 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a long while, I thought the "?" square on the very first level was safe but I found it was random as well. I wonder if the distribution of good/bad changes for every level so it gets more and more risky? Personally I try to avoid "?" after the first two levels, not worth risking losing lives at the gamble of 500 pts or resetting the timer since you often take a detour to reach that square anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I try to avoid "?" after the first two levels, not worth risking losing lives at the gamble of 500 pts or resetting the timer since you often take a detour to reach that square anyway. I was trying to jump on the "?" only if I happen to be near them (some are along or close to the main exit path). I also was not thinking I would be able to get as far as I did without making a jump error so was going for points but in this last run I was good on the jumps and the ? took most of my lives. You can jump on a given "?" up to two times but found the likelihood of "wet diaper" increased significantly on the second attempt. There is some type of distribution that I can't figure out, that now if I make another attempt would not take as many chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Busy Baby- either something is not working right on my Ulitmate cart (most likely) or I have no idea what I'm doing wrong b/c I keep dying before I can make the first jump. 640 points ? Runner Bear- pretty good, tho through the nature of endless runners, I die too fast and wish there were extra lives. I also like the music. 615 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that maybe why they give out extra lives every so many levels I think you've hit the nail on the head - probably becomes a risk it if you have a life or two spare but I always went for them, I guess the better you get the more annoying it would be to lose a man because of this. Could do with being a rarer event probably down to some bias in Atari's random function! ok final tables next as I catch up with things here...
