Zoyx Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 6.17 for me. Timely contest. I went to the launch party for the International Video Game Hall of Fame Museum in Ottumwa IA over the past weekend. Todd Rogers donated this plaque, containing his Dragster cartridge he used for his record breaking attempt. And for fun... here is Todd Rogers overseeing the Crazy Taxi longest jump contest.

darthkur Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 5.77 I could have sworn I had this cart. This is the second time now that I thought for certain I had a particular cartridge and did not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sloth713 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 5.94 The best piece of advice I can give is skip to 2nd gear as quick as possible off the start. Also make sure that your taps to left to shift are as quick as humanly possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt_Woloch Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 OK,here's my best so far... 6.68. Sorry, I don't have the patience and time to try this any further... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 5.54 Congrats! You got to the perfect computer score that Activision ran. Now you need to get to the impossible time, 5.51, by Todd Rogers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) 4.54 Does not count, unfortunately. Sadly it doesn't count. I must've been playing some hack because I cranked the hell out of the engine and it never blew. A little experimenting and I discovered it's impossible to blow the engine. So my further submitions will be using the correct rom where the motor blows out all too easy. Edited August 18, 2009 by darthkur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) 5.97 This score should replace my previously posted scores since they were all using that odd version. The rom file name for that apparent hack is : dragster_auto.bin so if you're using that one and are getting great scores and wondering how you did it, that's why.

godzillajoe Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 6.51 is the best I could do, maybe I'll give it a few more tries with a different stick before the deadline. I don't think the Wico bat handle is the best way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the MD5 for the ROM you're using doesn't match anything I have; it certainly doesn't seem to be any of the official ROMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Well, that's the end of the 6th season of the High Score Club!

This was the first whole season where I typed up all the posts in a text editor rather than using the forum entry boxes (I started sometime in season 5). Note that I use Gnumeric to handle my spreadsheets, and all the posts are in Unix-style text files... so you might have trouble with file formats. --Zero season6.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the 5th ghost Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Ze_ro... Please remove my score. I didn't actually play this particular week. I was only commenting on the amazing 5.54 score and that I had never broken the 5.61 barrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
