+Atari_Warlord Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Haven't played this one much so looked through the manual and set a goal to get to the patch score. The game gets kind of frantic, but reading the instructions really helped, as it usually does. Score = 57,970 Bonus = 1 zero 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 One of my favorite games ever, and IMO the greatest game of its genre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kidding, it's -8°F here in St. Paul at the moment! Brrrrr! ? I played Frostbite for about an hour tonight and I think this might be a "One and done" round for me. Not only did I beat my previous personal best high score by a good 10,000 points but managed to randomly end with a score with three zeros in it for the bonus, so I might be calling it good for this round Frostbite (Game 1, B/B Difficulty): 100,310 Bonus: 3 zeros!

fakecortex Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Ok, I thought I was doing really well, then I took a second look at the scores here. Yowza. Fun game, but I might need to read up on strategy. Frostbite - 27,250 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see myself ever doing any better than the 100K score I got last night, and that was only good enough to land me 62nd place in the HSC all time rankings: http://hsc.statotronic.com/searchgame.php?game=206 Frostbite is like Q*Bert's A-hole brother from the north pole Edited January 22, 2022 by Skippy B.

Crazy Climber Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) 99090 Starting to get the hang of it again. Used to be pretty good at it...I think? If not for me forgetting to let go of the stick I'd probably double my score. I swear, half my deaths are my own, easily avoidable "joystick errors" ? Edited January 22, 2022 by Crazy Climber Slightly better score 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonhrb Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 This one is another goodie (I'm saying that a lot this season). If ever there was a game that was "easy to play, but hard to master" it's this. I've got an initial stab at a score here, and will doubtless be trying this some more as the week goes on 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the bonus is for your official (final) score. So if you don't break that by much, you'll have to decide if it's worth submitting ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess i have to go for a perfect 100000 ? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMooCowz Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Frostbite: 333080 Bonus: 2 zeroes I had a 3 zero score... we'll see if that costs me later ? This also fell short of my personal PB by about 6000 points. It gets crazy fast, but good thing the game is generous with lives. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
