Well TRBB, take a deep breath and play Expert mode one more time (at least one more time).

At around 97K the game acted a little strange. The trampoline was very twitchy, the music slowed down, and the balloons stuttered once or twice. (This is on a real 800XL).

 

I wasn't able to upload a video clip so here's a rip of the audio.

Wow, looks like I've missed a lot. I will get some more scores posted soon. Nothing extraordinary, but I did have a really lucky round of Tilter: 17.8 (will post a pic later).

 

Special thanks to Marius for the XL/XE version of Juggler. I was playing that emulated because I have the games on a my-ide cartridge, which is not compatible with a translator.

 

Also, to Philsan and Deteacher. Thanks for the tips! I've had a stelladaptor for quite a while but never realized that you could do this with Altirra.

 

It's also pretty cool how it was learned that the Wavy Navy (file) has problems. I have a file version that DOES include the author's name (not "cracked by") but does NOT include the shooting helicopters. Glad to know that the one I have is not complete either.

 

Thanks, as always, TRBB (for running the show).

17.8, that IS lucky... Ever since my first game (which is the one I posted) I've been getting worse...

Clowns and Balloons Update:

 

As the game doesn't get any harder anyone making 100k (rolling the counter) will be in joint top place (for advanced and the expert challenge)... I clocked it on advanced and then retired at 130K+. The main screen high score then shows the pre rollover score)...

 

... then I started on expert and the game had the 'surreal slow down' until the bonus clown at 10K where the processor's registers seemed to be cleared and it was ok again :)

 

I'll recind the C&B scoring penalty (only affecting mr case) as without paddles the game isn't easier, especailly only having the emulator with a mouse ;)

Right after you post some scores ;) probably put it on at the weekend...

No takers yet for the River Rat 'Special Bonus 3' - Highest score at end of Level 4. See post #2 for all the games, rules and challenges folks :cool:

This evening I decided to re-visit breakout. In particular, Progressive. Not just because bluecat (Bob, who else do I know with a blue cat?) has just bitch-slapped my mediocre score into the last century: I always thought I could do a lot better, if only I wasn't so drunk when I played.

 

Sadly (well, it is Friday evening!!) the drunk level hasn't decreased. From one gaming session to the next - I have (of course!) remained sober during the working week - I'm a Nuclear Fuel Rod replenishment operative: I thought I'd have trouble finding work when I moved from mother Russia, but apparently this is a specialist job - go figure, I always thought it was a good way to maintain a 'healthy glow', but no - I'm a skilled operative! Me & Igor are Specialists - the country depends on us doing a good job! Well, who am I to argue? And they say my Green Card isn't a problem, so I must be important.

 

Anyway, the scores. You're all expecting big things, yes? Scores worthy of a God (or similar)? Well, there's been a bit of a problem there. I was doing really well - my Countrymen would have been proud (if it weren't for the incident) when all of a suddens the scoreboard had a fit, went bloody nutz for a few (brief, but thoroughly ego massaging) moments, during which I took my eye off the [last] ball for a fraction of second (Igor will tell you how unlucky this is) and blam, the cat keeps his / her whiskers.

 

I was robbed. There should be stewards streaming in to tell me "It's okay, you can play that balls again - the programmerz got it wrong" But this is not the perfect world we haf all groan up believing it to be. Mistakes are made. You ask Igor!!

 

Next time, Kitty.
