carlsson Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 For the record, I tried E.T. again. After a while it shifted from the start screen to the map, but then everything went grey and froze. I tried a couple different versions and a few attempts but something with my 130XE acts up and I could not bother trying something else so I'll skip this bonus game. Also I didn't improve on Pooyan, so I'll settle with my miniscule score in this round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariSphinx Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Pooyan (no extra lives): 107,600. Level 5 Slight improvement in this one. Definitely getting the hang of it but need much more practice to get a much better score. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 Reminder this round closes tonight (21st March) at 10pm UK time, if anyone wants a couple of extra days please post. Not sure where everyone has disappeared to but here are the latest tables. If you only have the original Pooyan that is fine to play just don't use the extra lives after the initial 5 have been used! The new "no extra lives" version makes the game more enjoyable for the top players as otherwise the game takes too long to play and does not get any harder (see previous HSC plays). Votes still needed in the R5 Poll, it's a two way tie! latest tables Pooyan 1st Deteacher 541,400 13pts # 2nd Caco 197,700 11pts 3rd therealbountybob 168,900 10pts 4th McKong 150,000 9pts (score estimated - any news McK?!) 5th devwebcl 126,700 9pts 6th AtariSphinx 107,600 8pts 7th 8BIT 1337 106,250 7pts 8th MichaG 91,750 6pts 9th graywest 86,450 5pts 10th MagicMarc-er 68,500 4pts 11th carlsson 53,100 3pts 12th chevymad 52,050 3pts $ 13th RedThunder 36,400 2pts #NTSC bonus point $extra bonus point for setting up his 400 system E.T. play on any level you wish 1st graywest 126,990 4pts 2nd MichaG 112,327 3pts 3rd AtariSphinx 100,789 2pts 4th therealbountybob 100,000 1pt 5th Deteacher 90,200 1pt 6th 8BIT 1337 87,561 1pt 7th littleman jack 52,461 1pt 8th RedThunder 51,298 1pt 9th McKong 50,000 1pt 10th littleman jr 30,000 1pt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fres Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Sorry, forgot to post my scores earlier. I believe I had exactly 40000 on E.T. but I didn't get a screenshot. I will verify later. On Pooyan, I had 127,800. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 I'm not around for a few days and the poll is tied (please vote manually on poll thread if you haven't voted already) so let's have a small extension to this round, both games offer more play - try E.T. on level 9 it's not too difficult - thing to note is when you take pieces to the house (green square) E.T.'s heart is red for good or blue for incorrect pieces. Round will end later this week!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariSphinx Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 ET: 112435 (level 2) Gave this one another go. Until this week had never played an ET game (8bit or 2600). After playing this one and even the 2600 version (the 8bit verion is better), can definitely say it's not the worst game. In fact there is fun to be had for a quick pick up game in both versions. Also tried level 6 and got all 10 pieces but failed to get ET home. Like that the HSC introduces games that would never play on our own. Looking forward to those shooters game (s) in the poll which I have never played! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) E.T. - 40,000 I used to be pretty good at this, but haven't played it in probably 20 years. SEE NEXT POST - BETTER SCORE Edited March 23, 2022 by jblenkle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) E.T. - 109,975 I thought after you sent E.T. home the first time the game continued at a harder level, but I guess not. Edited March 23, 2022 by jblenkle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it ends with the bonus for time remaining - I've completed level 9 and satisfyingly E.T. has been rescued! Not too hard. 126,382 Improved on Pooyan to 203,950 New round starts tomorrow evening (FRI 25th) sorry for the delay but work and girlfriend to blame as usual 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleman jack Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 littleman jr. raised his score to 50,000 for five pieces on Level 9. I, littleman jack, also tried Level 9 and could only muster 50,000 as well (2,461 less than my previous score). Level 9 is definitely harder with there being more pieces and more, or faster, bad guys. And I think it's harder for me due to my colorblindness as well. I think the lower levels don't have as many colors, so I didn't have to worry about having the right color as much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Heh. I never checked if Altirra can be run in B&W mode but certainly on real hardware you could bring down colour saturation to zero and then make a game like this much harder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) E.T.'s Gone home, pooyan is stuck up a tree and it's the end of the round at last! Congratulations to Deteacher for a comprehensive win on Pooyan with McKong putting in a decent effort for 2nd place. E.T. was not so bad afterall,I thought it was a bit too easy as the baddies didn't seem to do much, possibly a game for the little uns ? Glad we have a challenging Pooyan with the no lives, previous plays a few players got to 1m points and must have been suffering!
