Divya16 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Looks like it's too late for me to play this game on real machine as I don't have the Pengo cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahsMyBro Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 OHMYGOD. 371k+ ??? You must be that little Atari freak teaching me a lesson this weekend. Simply incredible. Have you been defeating me my whole life, only to really rub it in now? I think that's the most discouraging thing I've ever heard. How tragic.

(Paraphrased from The Pricess Bride. ) I am not familiar with "Pricess Bride" or "Princess Bride" if that's what you meant. I am hoping to get 500K+ once I find the time to play again as my personal best is >500K. I think a few others did better than 500K on the Atari 800 HSC.

I think a few others did better than 500K on the Atari 800 HSC. Yeah, IIRC a couple guys scored over 600K on the 8-bit HSC. I hit a plateau at 150K using arrow keys since my USB 'Classic' arrived late. As for the 5200 HSC, "Cry Havoc!

NoahsMyBro Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Damn. I seem to have topped out. I'd love to see some of you play, or learn your strategies for this game. I'm not even approaching 100,000. Atariksi or Atariron, if either of you can get your game recorded and added to Youtube I'd love to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariksi or Atariron, if either of you can get your game recorded and added to Youtube I'd love to see it. I gave some hints on how to play "forever" in the 8-bit HSC. I stopped playing because I didn't have that much time on hand at the time. I had two men left after hitting 600,000 and then just non-chalanted into 660K.

Divya16 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 60 points Even on MESS this game is unplayable. You can get 800+ by just kicking the blocks around you before you move and screw up the emulator. It's a mess though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone finds his own strategies, but I basically employ the pac-man strategy of staying away from the sno-bees. If you hide behind a diamond one block away from the side, you're safe. I'm not into you-tube stuff nor do I have method of getting the real Atari 5200 into a clear video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 That's it for this round. Congrats to atariksi for his monumental score. Sorry so many had problems emulating this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
