doctorclu Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Opening score 108,700. It's amazing how much easier this game became once I learned I could hold down the fire button for rapid fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I guess I was allowed to play Defender 2K as I dont have Protector, so: 656,454 (no bonus rds) or 887,885 (w/ bonus rds) I played w/ no bonus rounds as I'm unsure Protector has bonus rds, or anything similar (kinda easy way of scoring points).

Sweet! Well, that lands you a point for this round at least. Better than nothing. Awesome score! BuddyBuddies, look forward to seeing your score here.

Cobra Kai Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I'm done with high score club. doc, it's too convoluted and cycling too quickly. You got multiple games being played in a 2 week time period, along with allowing substitutes to be used which makes no freaking sense whatsoever.

doctorclu Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 I'm done with high score club. doc, it's too convoluted and cycling too quickly. You got multiple games being played in a 2 week time period, along with allowing substitutes to be used which makes no freaking sense whatsoever. Don't get mad & quit. Suggest & give feedback. Let me cover what you mentioned above... Ultimately the Jaguar is a game system that most players have a limited library. There is not a cheap way of loading rom images. This will change in the future as it has with the other Atari game systems. For now, I am keeping this in mind. Multiple games: This was something that I experimented with since some might have had Zoop (a common game) over the relatively new Protector SE. I don't plan on doing multiple games in the future. I got FEEDBACK that this was not preferred, so there we go. 2 week time frames: Is this too often for you? Or just the fact that there is multiple games in a two week time period. If the latter, you've already heard the future plans for multiple games. Substitute games: A limited library and no quick way of loading roms, not to mention emulation being still sluggish, I made an allowance. A Substitute game of similar type. You cannot get maximum points, but then most of the time when you enter a contest is about that one participation point. I work to keep people interested and keep them tuning in. And this is the hang out for Jaguar players. We might have an rare and expensive game one week that you don't have, but in the meantime you could play a different game, try your hand at Tempest (a common game), try the Bubsy Scavenger hunt, submit a score for a similar game (for one participation point), or if you have not played a game already featured, play that and get one point. This is about participation, and a place to hang out for Jaguar fans. Kinda like a arcade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jeremiahjt Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) My high score is 275,800 and I think that's it for me for Protector. I just can't beat the UFO on level 20. I guess it's on to Zoop now. Edited February 15, 2008 by jeremiahjt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 Now what is this?? Extended?? What is this good for? After listening to some people, decided to let the Jaguar High Score club competitions go for one month times. So that in mind, decided to let these two current ones be the February competition games. Don't worry, I think your score is fairly safe. But if not, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Isgoed Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I don't mind if my highscore gets beaten, that's what the HSC is about It is just that I was amazed to see the "rules" change so very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the patience. Every high score club has to feel out how things will work for their system. This started out being based on the 8-bit high score club, and based on input we have changed to fit in this first month of play. (We started in mid January). So to all, thanks for the patience, I think the rules and setup will be gelling soon. Edited February 17, 2008 by doctorclu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Songbird Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 My highscore for this awesome game! -778.800 Very cool to see a pic of someone reaching the end of the game! Good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isgoed Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks Carl. Does this mean that I will receive a discount on my next purchase from you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jeremiahjt Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 My new high score is 304,750. Finally beat the UFO, but couldn't get past level 25. It seems to me that once you get into the 20s and die and lose rapid fire that the game is pretty much over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isgoed Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hmm.. when you lose rapid fire, it is important to drag the humans to the ground after you free them, instead of letting them fall to the ground. This way you will receive score, and power ups. And with the UFO, use your shields, and keep firing until it is destroyed, or watch your radar and shoot the UFO while it is off screen, so it can't shoot you. Nice to see that you achieved a better highscore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
