Deteacher Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 32 32 on game 6?! wow Wow! What's your secret? I can just BARELY get 32 points on game 1! WTG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Yancey Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 32 I hold the world record on game 2 at 29 and that will be tough to beat. Game 6 is even more difficult than game 2. The traffic pattern is the same, but the speed of the cars is "random". Why not post a photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 32I'm sorry, but I don't believe you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I have a hard time believing that one, too. I'm always willing to be proved wrong, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Yancey Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 (edited) RJCHAMP3 Don't come back and say you made a typo either! edit So there was no typo-- it was only a failure to read. Sorry. Sometimes I get a little touchy if someone claims to beat one of my records and can't back it up with proof; especially one where I played until I defeated the Great Todd Rogers. --->>Link to Freeway game 6B record played on REAL 2600 Hardware<<--- Edited February 8, 2007 by D.Yancey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 He probably just played game 1 instead of game 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 22! I think I can probably squeeze out one more trip across. It was all I could to get 22. If I can't do better, I'll be happy with this score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Beard Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 This game is frustrating as heck! Sometimes I think I'm playing really lousy and then I usually score about 14 or 15. Other times, I think I'm playing like a champ. Those games, I usually score about 14 or 15. Grrrr. I've been playing for days without much improvement. My high score remains mired at 17, which is where it's been since Saturday. I didn't take a screenshot because I was determined to hit 19 or 20. Doesn't look like it's gonna happen (but I'm gonna keep trying!) So ... My high score: 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scogey Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 15 why did the chicken cross the road? because he can't go sideways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Hunter Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) Nathan tells me to let go of the joystick, and Rom Hunter tells me to not let go. Some conflicting ideas of joystick handling on Freeway.Well, in case Ze_ro is going to accept this Half-God score of 32, I'll try to explain my tip to get even: As in most action video games, your thoughts are your worst enemy. The split second that you think shall I cross the lane or shall I wait for the cars to pass? is exactly the split second that is needed to just cross it. You'll be amazed how many times you actually CAN cross the lanes if you immediately follow your impuls to do it. What I'm saying is: You won't get a real high-score by waiting. If you follow your impuls to cross the road (slipping through two slow moving cars or getting almost hit by a front bumper) you'll eventually get a much higher score. Hence: don't let go of the joystick (or: don't be chicken). And here's my best tip: Extremely high scores should be shown by presenting a screenshot...

I'll append my previous tip... let go of the joystick, if you keep slamming into traffic over and over and the game becomes an agonizing source of frustration.

Rom Hunter Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 LOL Right you are. Nothing more frustrating than watching your chicken get hit by the last car and going down to the very bottom of the screen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I tried again, and 18 is still the best I can do. Here's another vote against the 32 score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vdub_bobby Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) AFAIK, rjchamp3's posts are being held pending moderator approval, which is why his response now appears before all the indignant folks; I'll assume the best and guess that his post hadn't appeared when they...cast votes. Cast votes? EDIT: And seriously folks, playing with the wrong difficulty setting/game selection is VERY common, sure, RJ can be, um, "unique" at times, but that's no real cause for rude remarks.

D.Yancey Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) I have yet to see any respone from him. OMG-- there is a response above that was not there before. I didn't know that was possible???? Thanks for pointing that out vdub_bobby. -->>Link to current record for Freeway 6B on TG for REAL 2600 Hardware<<-- Edited February 8, 2007 by D.Yancey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
