darthkur Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) You're a noble knight, replete in shinning golden armor. It is your honor bound mission to defend the kingdom from the hordes of malevolent buzzard riding raiders whose demented lust for power and destruction threatens your way of life and very existence. Don't let them gain the higher ground or you will be dismounted and doomed. Strategically attack them from above and see them transmorph into their primitive embryonic form, from which they will hatch with twice as much fury if you do not collect them before they emerge and take flight. You must also be wary of the ravenous pterodactyl that will devour you in one gulp. It is most difficult to defeat and swift of wing so you would be well advised to avoid it's bloodthirsty grasp. So be strong, valiant and strike true for the entire kingdom is depending upon you. * * Yes, I recycled that from the recent 5200 Joust HSC. Sue me. Emulators are fine as is whatever controller you feel the most comfortable with. Screenshots are great but not mandatory.

xZanU Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Fire trolls in this version are worthless. I have only seen one enemy get pulled down by a fire troll, it was on a survival round, and I got no bonus because of it : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aftermac Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 97,200 Am I awake? Are the planets aligned? Is Mercury in retrograde? What gives!? I'm currently in 1st place in the 2600, 7800, and Arcade/MAME HSC... this can't be right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 79,150 I killed one of the Pterodactyl's by accident. First time i ever did that, very cool. And i got a 3,000 point survival bonus even when the Lava Troll ate the last Buzzard Rider. The only thing worse than 1 Pterodactyl is 2 Pterodactyl's!! I saved the pic below shortly before i died.

I've only ever once been able to joust and defeat a Pterodactyl. I wish there was a practice round where you could just fight them over and over, it would certainly help in maintaining some lives.

That's what happens when I get spited in the game poll topic! Seriously though, I'm not sure that I can improve on it, but I'm sure someone will beat it. I also accidentally killed a Ptery in that game... I was just standing there and it flew into my lance. That's the first time I've killed one on the 7800 version... I previously accidentally killed one in the 2600 version. I used to put a couple hours a day into the 2600 HSC. I usually only play at night when my wife and I are watching TV. Since, the Arcade HSC was created, I started dividing my time between the two. When I hit a wall in one game, I switch to the other. The past couple months I just worked the 7800 HSC into my rotation. I also helps that the 7800 HSC is two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xZanU Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I'm still trying! Though I have not bested my score yet I did manage to defeat another Pterodactyl, and like last time it was a complete accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
