Your goal is to collect as many treasures as you can which are scattered throughout numerous dungeons. In each dungeon, there are several chambers which each contain a treasure.

PressureCooker2600 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I'll have to get some play on this so I can rise in the rankings. I suck at the VCS version so hopefully it won't carry over into the Colecovision version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 (edited) The last time (6+ months ago?) I played this game I scored 1 million+, that's when I stopped keeping track. I posted about it, cant find the orig. post & I went back 6 pages. Can I use this score? I'm not sure I'll play again anytime soon...unless the HSC rules warrants it.

No you can't use a score from a game that you played prior to this week. The point of the HSC is to have fun competing against other member, not just a place to post high scores.

PressureCooker2600 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 First score: 10,800 Why couldn't the VCS version be this AWESOME?!?!?! This version makes me take back my harsh comments on Venture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PressureCooker2600 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 226,300 Alright! I'm getting good at this. If the wall room wasn't so dang fast in the later levels, I might have scored more. Some tips: - Some rooms have better entry points....like the snake room. Try and enter the rooms AWAY from the enemies. You'll have a better chance of surviving. - Try and kill every enemy in the room if you have enough time. It's always good to have extra points. I try not to race through a room (even though you get a higher bonus for doing so). There's more of a chance for you to bump into an enemy if you do it that way.

Mister VCS Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) 1st - duncantoml (4,004,700) 1st - RJ (1,650,100) 2nd - Mister VCS (409,600) --why are duncantoml and RJ both ranked as 1st? -------------because both rolled the scores? There are more than 2 million points between both gamers! I think it would be better to accept "million-plus" scores only with a screenshot!

There are more than 2 million points between both gamers! I think it would be better to accept "million-plus" scores only with a screenshot! The reason that they are tied for first is because they both have over 1million points. The point of the HSC is to have fun, not to run a marathon just to get 1st place. I don't require a screenshot for any score, the HSC is run on trust. If somebody wants to cheat just to get 1st place then what is the fun in that. If you feel that somebody is cheating just let me know and I will look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 730400 Hopefully I'll get in a another game later on, I know I've scored higher than this in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) I think it would be better to accept "million-plus" scores only with a screenshot! It has to be on trust because even the screenshots can be faked anyway. I could easily change my scores in Photoshop but what would be the point? This is just for fun, nobody wins anything.

chuckwalla Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) I've loved this game since I saw it at my cousin's house 25 years ago. Seeing that big high-res arrow shooting blew me away that day. Only problem is that an experienced player can play forever on Level 1. Here's a score of 1,024,100 with a screenshot before I hit 1,000,000 and after (I had enough after that). By the way, I recently played Venture on Costco's "Ultimate Arcade" upright (majorly "OVERPRICED" and undergamed, but nice control panel) and still prefer the CV version (better control and less frustrating). http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?...&lang=en-US Edited December 2, 2007 by chuckwalla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
