shadow460 Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 I spoke with Mitch about the edit feature. It has been changed, and I should be able to edit the first post again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 (edited) 73,400 Will keep trying to beat that wave 16 score. (I don't own any of the four games being voted on, so this will probably be it for me on the 7800 for a while.)

Artlover Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 (edited) I think, for my own sake, I'm may have to give these HSC's up. 20 years of aging have apparently sucked all my classic game playing ability out the window. I have yet to even beat my first score, which wasn't all that to begin with. I suck. Edited December 24, 2005 by Artlover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 Never give up. It's just for fun anyway. Some of my scores have really stunk, but I enjoyed playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of my scores have really stunk, but I enjoyed playing. 988616[/snapback] Thats how I do it. I just play a few times a day. If I beat my score, I post it. I have lost my touch. I used to wait for those pterodactyls to come out just so I could practice killing them. You know I played alot when I was a kid. I actually killed 2 by accident during this week. Artlover, you shouldnt give up. I played Asteroids even though I sucked. I could barely get over 10,000 on that game. I am just lucky my favorite games just came up 3 out of the last 4 weeks. I bought the 7800 just for Galaga. Now I play Joust and Ms. Pacman. I used to play Joust on the 800 all the time. The play is slightly different.

Cybergoth Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Hi there! Let's start with Commando! Greetings, Manuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Yeah. If you post a Commando score in this thread, I'll add it. From this point on, I'm going to set the difficulty on the second hardest level instead of max. I think on Commando it's Advanced. Sorry I missed posting it last night.

Artlover Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 (edited) Could have swarn I replied to this an hour ago.... Ok, ok. I'll give up giving up. Anywho, I had kept on playing a few times a day anyways, but still never beat my first score posted. Hell, my worse score was 250, and it wasn't even like I wasn't trying. Lets see how I do in Commando. Edited December 29, 2005 by Artlover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 (edited) You are the last Allied soldier in the war. The enemies have won, and a surrender is imminent. You realize that the only hope of victory for your forces lies in a mission so dangerous, so crazy, that you are the only one who will carry it out. You're facing nearly every soldier left alive. They are armed to the teeth and all you have is your rifle with a few clips of ammo, and several hand grenades. You must fight, you must succeed. No one said it was easy to be a Commando! Game Information: This week's game: Data East's Commando.

Shawn Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Gonna go beat this game right now and see what kinda score I get P.S. I vote for DK Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artlover Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Game Mode: One player advanced You just don't like Novice, do ya.... My score: 8800 This game is nearly impossible with a keyboard. I had to hook up my xbox controller and install XBCD. Woo woo, the XBCD drivers don't suck anymore. I wish I had done this sooner. At least for Joust. (goes off to try Joust with a stick).

shadow460 Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 What difficulty do ya'll wanna play at? I chose hard on 'em all 'cause that's how the 2600 HSC is run sometimes. If ya'll wanna play at a lower setting, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ya'll wanna play at a lower setting, let me know. 990678[/snapback] Aw, mostly just messin' with you. If that's how the 2600 ones works, might as well do that for the 7800 ones too. I never participated in the 2600 ones, so I didn't know. But to throw an answer out there for the sake of answering. How about Novice. Seriously tho, maybe the default Normal/Standard setting? Mind you, I'm biased since I suck at playing now a days. So you may want to just keep it at Advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hi there! Seriously tho, maybe the default Normal/Standard setting? Mind you, I'm biased since I suck at playing now a days. So you may want to just keep it at Advanced. I'd also vote for "normal/standard". That's because I don't know any of the 7800 games at all. More or less I thought to go through a complete 7800 HSC cycle in order to help me decide wether I should buy a 7800 or not Greetings, Manuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hi there! Ok, first score: 40.300 BTW: Is it just me or is this version a lot better than the NES one? Greetings, Manuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artlover Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Grrr, I managed to get 9,100, then forgot to do a screen capture. Duh. Just have to keep trying. Atleast I know I can do better then 8,800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 We'll take your word for the 9,100, Artlover. Ze_ro does it with or without screen captures. There's realy nothing at stake, aside from bragging rights and one's own conscience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwierer Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 28,200. I don't have the original for this so I'm not great at it. It seems like the easiest way to get points is just to grab the machine gun and go to town on incoming soldiers without progressing through the game. Either way I haven't been able to get past this wall in the screenshot. -Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Hi there! It seems like the easiest way to get points is just to grab the machine gun and go to town on incoming soldiers without progressing through the game. Either way I haven't been able to get past this wall in the screenshot. I haven't made it any further in "advanced" mode either. The game is actually fun though at "normal" setting Just for the record, I didn't leech my higher score with the machine gun, instead I found a secret cave where you can rack up lots of points. See the attached screenshot, just launch a grenade from aprox. where I'm standing in the picture. On level 2 (which is fun getting there in "normal" mode BTW ), there is a secret cave under the bridge as well, only there on the right side this time. Anyway, my score is final, as I prefer continuing to play in "normal" mode... Greetings, Manuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwierer Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Great tip on the hidden tunnel! I think that adds another 8K to the score. You forgot to mention the boudlers that come crushing by when you try to grab the POWs Up to 44,200 now and I got to the 2nd board, but as you can see I'm not getting very far past those guys in the fox holes.

shadow460 Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) What games you guys wanna vote on next week? I noticed I've been biased toward what's in my collection, so I need to throw up something like Ninja Golf, Motorpsycho, or some Absolute titles. Ya'll wanna vote on some Absolute? Oh, someone needs to break that tie between DK, DK Jr, and Ballblazer. If no one does, I may ask Ze_ro to break it (if he is willing) or I'll break it, as I do not vote on the games. If it still ain't broke, I may run the other two titles in a couple of weeks. Edited January 3, 2006 by shadow460 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Hi there! What games you guys wanna vote on next week? If Ballblazer doesn't win, Ballblazer again. Else Centipede Greetings, Manuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
