StanJr #1 Posted January 18, 2004 So I sat down and played Frostbite tonight, just for kicks and ended up blowing my previous personal best out of the water (292K+). I LOVE Frostbite. It gets SO fast that you only have instinct to go on after about 200K. Great great game! What is your personal best? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tiggerthehun #2 Posted January 18, 2004 Jeez, I'm almost embarrassed to post a personal best after that pic! That's a damned impressive score! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elviticus #3 Posted January 18, 2004 Yup, it IS a great game! Kind of a Q-bert/Frogger combo. I haven't played it for awhile - I need to break it out again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjk7382 #4 Posted January 18, 2004 I just put down a few games and my highest for right now is 22,470 I will keep it in my regular rotation and see what I can do. BTW: Good score! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert #5 Posted January 18, 2004 Frostbite is one of my favorite Activision games, but I have no idea how far I can get. I know I can do fantastic on the GBA Anthology version, but no idea if that's running full-speed or not. Will have to pop a cart in a real system and have my ass handed to me. ..Al Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susuwatari #6 Posted January 18, 2004 I didn't know Frostbite had Spiderman in it? Was that after reaching a certain score or something? Just kidding... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fretwobbler #7 Posted January 18, 2004 What is your personal best? 850,000+ on the real deal, rolled it on an emu Remember this Stan?... Now thats fast frostbite_1000000.zip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D.Yancey #8 Posted January 20, 2004 Yeah, I remeber the Frostbite 1 million zip file too. You guys have got me on this one so far. My best is just over 300 K. But, one day!!! Stan, you're right, after about 200K you must truly play on instinct! :wink: At least we can say that we've lasted for a while at max difficulty. Now it's just a matter of building greater consistancy and having some good luck! I really hate that bear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjk7382 #9 Posted January 20, 2004 I really hate that bear! But you have to love the sound it makes as it shuffels you off the screen Probly one of my favorite sound effects in atari games. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cimerians #10 Posted January 20, 2004 I got around 300,000 on a real Atari, I'm awful on emu's and don't consider them legit I agree as well. Its pure instinct and rhythm after around 200K. I also flipped Megamania when I was younger (1980's). I'm sure if I practice again I could probably do it again. Does Twin Galaxies still take submissions?

bobafett07728 #13 Posted January 20, 2004 334,000 I can usually keep my guys until I hit around 280,000. . . at that point they start dropping like flies. I end up jumping right into the water, or something ridiculous like that. The games seems to really speed up at this point. I keep playing, because it is one of my favorites, but I always peak at some point soon after 300K. This sounds like a good title to have a tournament on. With everyone peaking at about the same scores, it would be a close competition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RCorcoran #14 Posted January 20, 2004 Here's link (as per usual) to the current scores in the Twin Galaxies database. http://www.twingalaxies.com/cgi-perl/searc...latformSelect=5 Yes, so far, Todd is the only one to submit a HexaNine score. Why 999,999? Because at the time, Activision was only reporting and publishing scores up to 999,999 even if the score counter rolls. Go figure. As for me, you ALL have my pathetic score beat...

Fretwobbler #15 Posted January 20, 2004 Hey Ron Ive got a VCR tape of a 400,000 plus score I did a while back. Its in storage at the moment but I can pick it up 1st week of March. Where would I send it? That would put me 2nd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeus #16 Posted January 20, 2004 I think my best score is a measly 184 000 or so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes, if I'm having a bad game, I lose on purpose by running into the bear just to punish myself by listening to THAT SOUND! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brad2600 #19 Posted January 21, 2004 This is my highest score on Frostbite so far. I took pictures of this score and other scores for Activision games as well. I will be practicing more because I really enjoy Frostbite. It's the highest I've gotten so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fretwobbler #20 Posted January 22, 2004 Havent lost my touch Hey Kepone you should give it some practice - the game gets easier as it speeds up a little. Sure once you get past ~120K it starts to get manic but after you got the first 7-10 levels over with it temporarily gets a bit easier. Avoiding the bear definately gets easier the faster the game is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobafett07728 #21 Posted January 22, 2004 Whoa!!!! That is a nice score!!!! I still can't seem to keep my composure around the 300K mark. I have no plans Super Bowl weekend, so I'm looking forward to playing A LOT of Atari that Friday & Saturday. If I can get 500K (the halfway point) I'll be extremely pleased!

Smada Bez #22 Posted January 22, 2004 Here is my best so far. Its a bit low compared to some of the other scores but I didn't have this game back in the day so I haven't played it very much. Although, if I'm not mistaken, this is enough for the patch! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobafett07728 #23 Posted January 22, 2004 Although, if 'm not mistaken, this is enough for the patch! That is correct! 40K for the patch. To this day when my brothers and I talk about Activision scores it is always in relation to whether we would've gotten the patch. Now if I only still had them. . .
