Austin Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 That is cool. I just had my Jaguar sent out here where I am working overseas, so I will see I can get this loaded on my Skunkboard and get a s score in!! That would be cool! Haven't seen you around these parts much lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I hope i got in before the deadline. 231,416 Awesome game. Nice score. I think it was final that the deadline was extended Austin just hasn't said how long the extension is for. I have the next couple of days off and will probably give it another go. Thanks, i'm glad i popped in to see what game you guys are playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will submit a score. I just need to get one higher than orpheus's I haven't played this game in years so I'm a little rusty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCUltrapro Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 hey guys, I'm a bit of a noob here, I just wondered if I was able to post a score for this? I just joined the site to kinda get involved with Jag and Lynx in general and I played Tempest last night, got my approval to post on the site this morning and thought I'd see if its ok. I've been participating in similar competitions/scoring clubs for Dreamcast games and really enjoyed those. Anyway let me know if I can participate.

+orpheuswaking Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 No harm in posting a score at all then keep an eye out for the new season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCUltrapro Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 cool thanks man, here's a couple shots of my most recent score attempt, think one of the pics also shows my all time highest score, just out of morbid curiosity, am I anywhere near to the end of the game? I think I got to lvl 55, has anyone ever finished it? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen you around these parts much lately. Yeh had business overseas for a few months. Got to missing my Bubsy playing so I had my family send out my Jaguar. Trying to get my skunkboard loader on the Mac working again. Anyone have a already compiled Skunkboard loader by chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Yeah, the round is permanently extended until I say so. I'm thinking until I get a score in. Maybe a week or two, I'm not sure. It will also let the stragglers get their scores in as well, if they still pop in every now and then, anyway. Ok for those playing catch up in the next two weeks, this was the list of what was played this season correct? 1. ATARI KARTS! 2. ZOOL 2! 3. HOVERSTRIKE (Cart) 4. SUPER BURNOUT 5. CYBERMORPH 6. ALIEN VERSUS PREDATOR 7. CHECKERED FLAG 8. RAIDEN 9. DOOM 10. POWER DRIVE RALLY 11. MISSILE COMMAND 3D 12. Tempest 2000 Special: A REBOOT TAKEOVER!!

DCUltrapro Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 That's such a bugger! I missed the Alien VS Predator comp!! NOOOOO!!!! So what do you guys think about my Tempest Score? Does it get in the top ten here? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone that wants to submit scores for any of those games will get the lowest amount of points given for that round as participation points (basically, the same amount of points as the lowest-scoring player). Submit some scores if you want to catch up in the ranks a bit! Edited September 8, 2011 by Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it get in the top ten here? cheers Your Tempest score is average, but you are only halfway through the game. I think there are 104 levels total? Some strange number like that. And trust me, **** gets rough when you get to the 60s. You can still submit a score for any of the games played earlier in the season. You will get the same amount of points as the lowest-scoring player for each respective round, as participation points, to entice stragglers to submit a score anyways. Just submit your score in each respective thread for this last season. If you need any other specifics on how things work here, see the rules thread here: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/166522-rulesguidelines-scoring-system-and-season-2-schedule/ Glad to have ya, and hope to see you around more!

DCUltrapro Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Glad to have ya, and hope to see you around more!

doctorclu Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Played Tempest and have a score of 310,846 with the first go. I got my skunkboard working, and warmed up on a bit of Doom. Need to see how that contest worked. Sadly out of all those titles, the one I will not be able to play immediately (since I own it but currently 7K miles from me) is Raiden. Sadly that will not load on the Skunkboard. But I'll see if I can play in the other games here in the next few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+orpheuswaking Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 It's open indefinately, so have a play of this and any of the other games this season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Cheers man, think I will submit some scores just to see how I compare, I like to think I've actually improved my skills with age lol While some of my skills have waned a bit as I've gotten older and out of practice (competitive first person shooters and fighting games), I have strangely improved at other types of games. For instance, Zool 2 on the Jaguar, I could never finish back in high school, but now, over ten years later, I can finish it with relative ease. Strange! ..and warmed up on a bit of Doom. Need to see how that contest worked. I don't think it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCUltrapro Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 so am I right in saying that ALL the Jag high score season competitions are still open, right? SO I could submit a score for any of the games in the series still right? very tempting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) so am I right in saying that ALL the Jag high score season competitions are still open, right? SO I could submit a score for any of the games in the series still right? very tempting! Every round in this season is open to stragglers. As described in the season rules though, if you are looking for participation points, you will automatically receive the same amount of points as the lowest scoring player in that round, regardless whether your score is higher or not. This goes for all except the Reboot round--consider that one closed unless you play the Reboot games (Tempest 2K was the backup for that round, so just submit a score in this round if that's the case).

Austin Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 I might play this tomorrow. At least, that's what I say now. I might be completely full of crap come tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
