CGQuarterly Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Welcome to week 4 of the 6th season of the Atari Age NES High Score League! This week's game is going to be Ice Climber. Title: Ice Climber Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo Released: October, 1985 (US) Twin Galaxies High Score: 1,292,130 by Will W. Carlough http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nzBivwWI4A Tips: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/166306-season-6-week-3-bubble-bobble/page__view__findpost__p__2056214 Current Standings: I'm adding a new stat to the standings. The number in parentheses next to your overall score is the number of rounds in which you have participated. This will serve as the tiebreaker. Therefore, even though 4 players have 9 points and are tied for first based on that metric, Sonic R sits in first because he's participated in 2 rounds instead of 1. 1. Sonic R - 9 pts. (2)2. RJ - 9 pts. (1)2. mihcael - 9 pts. (1)2. patbb - 9 pts. (1)5. roadrunner - 8 pts. (3)6. pantherrob82 - 6 pts. (1)7. ClassicGMR - 5 pts. (3)8. darthkur - 3 pts. (1)9. LarcenTyler - 2 pt. (2)10. Tr3vor - 1 pts. (1)10. atari1600land - 1 pt. (1)10. Hitachi - 1 pt. (1)10. wizardspade80 - 1 pt. (1)10. Jibbajaba - 1 pt. (1)10. HatefulGravey - 1 pt. (1)10. dustfilledhobo - 1 pt. (1) *9 points are awarded to first place, 6 to second, 3 to third, and everyone else receives 1.* Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherrob82 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Either I'm really bad at this game, or it's glitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HatefulGravey Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 25890 I got 3 games in tonight and this is me so far. I will surely be much better by weeks end. And yes the jumping in this game is hell. Gets real hard when the level is all moving platforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tr3vor Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 New score! I think I got the hang of the glitchy jumping. 50680 I have no idea whats going on with my Emulator (nestopia), but the screenshot looks sorta squashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 I think I've had that problem too, and I don't remember how or if I fixed it. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HatefulGravey Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 118,770 Takes a lot of time to get there for me at least. I'm not sure I want to try to get higher then that, but I know I will anyway. Stupid games being addictive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClassicGMR Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Finally got around to installing Nestopia... and I am never going back to FCE Ultra. Couldn't even run this early title full-speed on full-screen. Nestopia runs it like a champ with room to spare! I'll be playing more but for now here's my initial score entry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatefulGravey Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) 29210. How did anyone ever get 1 million? I have found some ways to point press that get me in the range of 1 million, but that isn't the nature of this thread so I haven't posted those scores. Running right through the game I can only get just about 100000, but in the same time point pressing I can get about 850000. Took yesterday off now I'm going to go see if I can get more then my 118k on a legit run. Edited August 8, 2010 by HatefulGravey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustfilledhobo Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I've been practicing and I finally got to the 9th mountain. Also, the 8th bonus stage (jack-o-lanterns) wasn't that hard, but it was worth 20,000 points!!!!!! Anyway, here is my score. Not the best in this thread, but the best I've done so far. Score: 80330 pts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
