StanJr #26 Posted November 28, 2001 What's you secret????? I can only get as low as 6.27. Any tips for a weary drag racer??? By the way, according to the manual, 5.71 is the best time any of the programmers could muster (they called it the "World Record"). So count yourself among the elite. And then send liquid_sky a screenshot. That is impressive!!! All dragged out Stan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquid_sky #27 Posted November 28, 2001 Do you guys care if I use various tips you have put for stampede? Credit will be givin.. The manual had no "tips from creator" so i need to help fix that bnlank spot.. any tips for any games are welcome.. just email me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StanJr #28 Posted November 29, 2001 Can you copy the cattle info I posted earlier in this thread or would you like me to rewrite in an e-mail? Doesn't matter to me, whatever is easiest for you. I can't believe Activision didn't provide tips. That's quite unlike them!!! Strategy Stan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Slocum #29 Posted November 29, 2001 I'd love to see my tip in print (or online)! -Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquid_sky #30 Posted November 29, 2001 i can get em from here guys.. thanks for the help! I was just using the HTML manual hosted here as a reference, anyone who has the real stampede manual and is bored can look to see if they do exist.. it seemed odd to me too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Slocum #33 Posted November 29, 2001 Stampede does have tips. Here's the last page of the manual. Stampede -Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquid_sky #34 Posted November 29, 2001 thanks! Im still gonna use your tips.. expect them to come before the manual tips, as i am lazy and ittl be a day or so before i get around to typin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StanJr #35 Posted November 29, 2001 Well, I think I'm done with Dragster. I cannot beat 6.27 and the more I try the more I blow my engine or early start. It's leading to literal fits of frustration. Its best if I leave it be for awhile. Anyway, I'm having more fun playing Pressure Cooker. Onwards and Upwards, Stan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Slocum #36 Posted November 29, 2001 I managed 5.97 on Dragster. I try and try but can't beat that time. I hit the button when the counter says 1, basically pop the clutch twice at the start (since first gear goes so fast), hit third, hit forth, and tap the clutch a couple of times in fourth. nullDragster Time What are the next few games that are going to be on the quest? I'd to get a few screenshots now because I'm borrowing a digital camera but have to give it back soon. -Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scooterb23 #37 Posted November 29, 2001 I'm at work right now, or else I'd send in a screenshot of the 6.01 I hit last night...sob sob, so close... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liveinabin #38 Posted November 29, 2001 OK, you gotta keep the clutch out for the countdown, revving the t*ts in 1st, count in your head or out loud - you hit zero more accurately that way. then just redline into 2nd,3rd (watch this one, its REAL easy to blow your engine here).then when you get into 4th, pop the clutch a couple of times so you're just over 2/3 up the speedo and rev till it whistles. You should break 6. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StanJr #39 Posted November 29, 2001 My technique is close to that, with your suggestions I should be able to tweak it and get that patch! Thanks! Far as I know Pressure Cooker follows Dragster. Past that liquid_sky has not said, yet... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

liquid_sky #44 Posted December 3, 2001 I have having "hosting issues" with the page. My isp decided to only give me 5 megabytes storage.. and I have hit the point of needs to swicth the site over. I am boycotting geocities due to their censorship of free speach.. and I REALLY hate banner ads and popups. If i have to, I will use tripod until I can find a better solution. Sorry to all the gamers who will be affected by the delay, i h ave your scores they are safe... and they will be added very soon.. once the site has a new home I will let everyone know.

StanJr #45 Posted December 3, 2001 Thanks for the update. I was getting worried! I am still attempting Dragster, about 1 try a day, before I want to beat on something. All my other scores are in and I anxiously await a new challenge. (Dragster will have to be drawn out over time) Stan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Slocum #46 Posted December 4, 2001 Somehow I pulled 5.91 on Dragster today! -Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liveinabin #47 Posted December 4, 2001 I'm gonna but a polaroid film today, so I can (try and) replicate my 5.71 score on Dragster and send it in. Ironically, that's almost exactly the same time as my average game of Defender and Robotron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquid_sky #48 Posted December 5, 2001 dont worry guys.. with all this downtime im making quite a few pages to put online once shes alive again.. including pitfall, h.e.r.o. and enduro. I might be looking into a domain, if that falls through ill use tripod for a tempory solution. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
