Ze_ro Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Important Note: This weeks competition is over and no further scores will be accepted. Business is booming at "The Grille". Hamburger orders are just pouring in. But back in the Assembly Room, the Food Dispenser is pouring out condiments everywhere. Help Short-Order Sam fill each order with the proper combination of tomatoes, onions, lettuce and cheese. And don't forget the bun! Then, rush the completed orders to the Wrapping Room fast. Alright cooks, grab your spatulas!

In case you don't have a copy of it, AtariAge has a typed copy and a scanned copy available online. Here are the hints it provides: First of all, keep moving. The open-flame oven never stops cooking, so you never have time to just stand around. Run to the conveyor belt and place the condiment on the hamburger. After dropping a hamburger into a wrapping chute, hurry back to the Assembly Room. Don't waste time watching the order fall into the sack. Also, it is important to remember that the Food Dispenser only throws out one condiment at a time. So, if there is one in particular that you need, then move closer to the dispenser and reject the ones that you don't need. It'll really speed things up, and you'll get the condiment that you need sooner. Lastly, there will be times when you catch a condiment that you don't want. When that happens, place it on the hamburger at the top of the conveyor belt and hope the next order will need it. But more importantly, try not to catch any useless condiments. Also, we played this game twice before in the High Score Club, check out Season 5 and Season 1. JacobZu7zu7 1.Both the tomato and the hamburger bun can be grabbed/taken perfectly everytime by running either all the way to the top first, or down all the way to the bottom. Doesn't look pretty, but you won't have to break these two food items again with this method. 2.To avoid smashing your food items, make sure your head/face clears each food item. If you are head level with the flying food, it will smash you in the face. Also be sure to stand far enough to the left to have room to grab each food item properly. 3.Sometimes if you make an error with matching your food items together you can still complete the order without wasting the hamburger...as long as you added items that are "vital" to the order. For example if the order required 1 lettuce and 1 tomato, but you added 3 tomatoes and 2 lettuce it's just fine as long as it follows what the checks requested from you. 4.If you are unsure of what food item you need to add to your hamburger, you can look left to the conveyer belt and check the colors already on your hamburger to maybe help you decide what you need next. 5.In later rounds the hamburger bun comes at you sometimes when you don't need it although, if it comes to you 2 times in a row that means there's an order all ready to be completed, and you just have missed seeing it on the check system below. Sometimes there's no time to stare at the checks and figure it, just trust that if the bun keeps coming at you, that means it's time to use it! --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) I'm penciling in Toymailman for a win on this one... <smack talk> Yeah, don't bet on it, buddy. He'd better put his game where your mouth is. </smack talk> I couldn't resist. Ima start this game off with 12,000. Score was about 400 points higher but I had to take a phone call.

Well, at least he has to start from scratch and can't just use his TG score. Also, I'm not entirely comfortable with Toymailman putting anything where my mouth is, but I'm confident he'll bring his "A" game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm not up to my TG score, but I at least beat my score the last time we played this game in Season 5 Week 9. 188,895 I have no idea how Todd Rogers got all the way to 1,000,000 points. The action is frantic when you get above 200k. Getting another 800k on top of that is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oyamafamily Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Ze_ro, on "Game Information", the "Game Name" is PRESSURE COOKER, and not GYRUSS. Please, correct this game name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobZu7zu7 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Okay here's a score worth a pic. 130,365 Don't think I can get higher, Pressure Cooker isn't a favorite of mine, haven't played it much either, but it's fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are my tips, the last tip I'm not 100% on, so would be good if someone here can confirm it for me. Thanks...

Deteacher Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I so wanted to get more time in on this one. I did score over 262K (but didn't post in time) but I ended up catching the bug going around. Oh well, congrats, Toy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
