woodyi76 Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 most of the activision games I find very possible earn the patch but some games I just suck at like crackpots this game is impossible after 60,000 the spiders move about 3x faster than you. Private Eye is also very tough. I also suck at dolphin maybe I don't have good ear and hand cordination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 I'm actually rather good at Dolphin, its all about getting into a rhythm. Private Eye is tough past level 3, but I'm working on making it easier (my website may be up sometime this year...) The toughest I can think of has to be Keystone Kapers, and I'll tell you why. I can play the crap out of it, but NEVER can I get more than 26,000. Never. I'd say Pressure Cooker, but that's only because I haven't got the hang of that game. No "Billy Club" for me, Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmi Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 hehe me and my friend used to keep a record of our high scores for the 2600 Keystone kapers mine 46,500 - his 32750 i have a bunch of others to but this is back in the early 80's when i didnt have over 120+ games i think i had like 25 back then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyi76 Posted October 24, 2001 Author Share Posted October 24, 2001 Keystone Kapers I'm very good at because it was the first game I every got for any system. It was the only game I had for about 6 months. I must have played that game a million times. My High score is 52,200. I'm also very good at Oink for some reason but suck at the one's I mentioned.

Nukey Shay Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 Hands down...the Space Shuttle "commander wings". The jury's still out if that is even possible (six dockings/7500 fuel remaining) without hacking the game. The pilot patch was pretty easy though.

Parcel Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 I just got Dragster w/instructions and I have to say that is a kick ass game for its complexity. I dont ever recall any modern drag racing games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 Every time I start up Dragster, the engine just goes ahead and drops out of my car. It knows full well that I cannot play this game at all. I don't think I have ever finished the race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamxxx Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I have done the space shuttle wing commander without a hack it took about a million hours but so be it. I remember it was as if the joystick almost moved making it super difficult to complete. I have the patch and letter and pictures to prove it. Im looking for some patches to complete my collection. Need the hard ones anything 1,000,000, secrect society of dolphins, tennis just bcause it was so easy and a couple more please let me know.

Nukey Shay Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Good Lord!!! You actually DID it??? Be sure to send Scott (at digitpress.com's Easter Egg section) a scan of the letter if you are able. Perhaps he'll make it worth your trouble BTW Welcome to the forums!

ccc--- Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I agree with Nukey, the Space Shuttle Commander patch seemed almost impossible to me.

sku_u Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 The only ones I had difficulty with were Barnstorming and Grand Prix. A case can also be made for the !!!!!!! Patch in Laser Blast in that it's hard to stay awake long enough to get the !!!!!!!'s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukey Shay Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 I could only do it after wasting mucho fuel...that one really moves around. At least I now know that it's possible to do w/o cheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmeroid Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Keystone Kapers hard?!?!?!? I've managed 300K+ and switched off the game, it starts getting repetetive after about 90,000. Toughest Activision game has got to be Checkers - has anyone ever won a match on the expert level? Crackpots & Stampede have got to come a close 2nd & 3rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
