You may want to pick a final 5 games or something and protect them. Having a game like this as one of the final games would be a bit of a buzz kill.

 

yeah lol... gonna review the list to see if any other rollable or plain games are left,

luckly I think we got some easier stuff early on. It should be safe to move on from here...

 

Pole Position, Kaboom,... hmmm.... :?

I love both of those games. They just don't lend themselves well to competition. Leave them in, but they don't make for a good final game.

 

Yup Kaboom is acceptable, would be tough to roll...

Pole Position I will select if it's not picked before final 10 players or so.

there's still points to be won though, and in the next few rounds, we're gonna lose more fine players,

which will be interesting if they come back to steal HSC points..

 

Wait, so we'll still be determining like a final winner based on points or something? I can't remember what we decided on.

Yeah rankings it's possible to keep on going for HIGH SCORE CHALLENGE...

to earn more points, for a final ranking at the end...

 

For the 2600 KNOCKOUT, no longer in for that one. This winner for this is

the one person who survives every elimination round until just one standing.

Also a hint for anyone who's having trouble. Knock out the upper "window" spot on any/all of the tallest buildings, and leave them standing while you demolish the rest: that's the spot where food/poison appears [good luck telling which is which, though].

Lets CAP this thing at 500 ks...! If someone reaches 500ks consider it a roll... so you don't have to play forever.

 

A difficulty setting would have been nice...

No, let's make it 100k. Or at the very most 250k. 200k? 500k is still way too much. I should know, I just got there and stopped!

I have to agree with this. With a baby, I simply don't have the time to invest in this type of game. I got over 250k on my first life, took a picture and turned it off (it was about 2 hours into it). My vote for "rolling" it is 200k or 250k tops. There is really no more point or anything to prove beyond this threshold IMHO.

 

I'll post my pic tomorrow.

Hmm, here's what can be done.... since I made the cap, 500ks... it has to stay at that total,

but I can award a Rampage card to each player who reaches 200ks, if more then 5 *like this*

votes appear... then, consider it a safety pass to round 7.

 

Point total would be this, 15+ for the full 500ks,

 

13+ for 200ks.

Looks like we have the 5+ likes for this. Only addendum is give the highest non-500k score +14. As I type this, that's Scrabbler15.

Inching up 58,100, I still feel pretty dumb for not getting this

 

Here are some hints:

 

- You can only be attacked by one thing at a time (meaning there can only be one shot on screen at a time.) If the helicopters are on the screen, they're the ones to avoid or kill (preferably kill...worth 750 points.)

- After the helicopters fly off the right side, something will come out on the ground level. The only ground forces that attack you come from the left side (blue car and tank.) Anything that comes from the right side will not hurt you. (yellow car, red chicken-like-thing.) If something is shooting at you from the ground, it's simply a matter of wating for them to shoot, dodge the shot then go in for the kill (and 250 points.) Cable cars take 3 or 4 hits, but are worth a whopping 1,000 points, so make sure you get them.

- If a building has a sign, get under it and punch up to destroy it for 1,000 points, but only if it's not flickering.

- The only real threat are the army guys inside the buildings. They shoot fast and fierce. You can make them go away by knocking down any building. Doing so, for some reason, makes them go away.

- if you are on a building that's starting to crumble away, center your stick and press the button to jump off of it safely. If you don't, you'll fall to the ground and lose some life.

 

Just follow these simple steps for about 3 hours straight and you too can be in the 500K Club. :)
