4Ks Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 (edited) If you hate aliens, you'll love Quartet! You see, space colony Number Nine is being threatened by an invasion of the most dangerous kind. Alien attack. And the place is crawling with them. These vicious, vile parasites have even managed to confiscate the casket of the late great Queen Cynthia. It's your job to exterminate these treacherous creatures. To return the casket to its hallowed tomb. And save the colony from certain collapse. You'll have special equipment to help you along the way. Like a supersonic jet engine, a special bomb, missiles and a magic key. But time is running out. So don't just stand there thinking about it. Get on it. And get rid of this gruesome group. For good! Deadline for high scores is 12:00am August 20, 2010 SIDE CHALLENGE! Complete the game for an extra 2 points! Scoreboard: Sonic R 119,200 + completion Austin 62,200 zylon 44,600 4Ks 29,330 roadrunner 28,900 Hints & Tips: - Your time meter is basically your life bar. When you get hit, the time drops. When you run out of time though, you will stay alive until you get hit again. - If you fall down a pit, regardless of how much time you have, you lose a life. - Little brown canisters pop up occasionally, refilling your time meter, or vastly extending on to what you already have. ~ Austin Current HSC Points: roadrunner 144 zylon 140 Sonic R 108!

zylon Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) I think there might be a mathematical error in the latest point tally. 118+10=128 128+12=140(factoring in bonus points) Edited August 7, 2010 by zylon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zylon Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Thanks. I'll check this game out tomorrow. I don't think I've ever played this one besides testing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic R Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I really love this game though I've never played for score… should be interesting… I started to play, but my wife is in the hospital, so a score post will have to wait… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) Maybe I will jump on my XBOX later and load up this ROM in my SMS emu.. I haven't had a good MAME session on the 'ole box in a while, and playing in this HSC will give me an excuse to boot it up. **edit: All right, got home and played it for a bit.. I was able to get 62,200. In typical SMS fare, this game is hard as nails, especially by the time you get to stage five.

roadrunner Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I hope your wife is OK Sonic R 28,900 i got to round 3 How about a side challenge? The Arcade version of Quartet on normal difficulty. And the C64 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Ks Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 How about a side challenge? The Arcade version of Quartet on normal difficulty. And the C64 version. Game Gear side challenges are OK, but there's already an Arcade HSC and C64 has nothing in common with SMS (plus the fact that few people actually own a C64 and this game).

zylon Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Don't think I'll be needing my "play copy" of this one anymore. 10,800 I'll keep my complete one for the collection but this one goes in the junk box after this round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not really sure what else to write. Hopefully that helps the people having trouble with the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic R Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I hope your wife is OK Sonic R I just showed this post to her and she found it sweet and says 'thank you' I hope to be playing soon enough and posting scores - everything is going well here right now.
