Jacob,

You forget Larcen Tyler submission on post 15...

It must be very time consuming to manage all these posts, I met you in 7800 HSC, didn't know you were updating posts there too. Great work, thank you very much :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

By the way, many players are there too, HSC and Atariage are bigger than I thought with homebrews, manuals, patches, hints etc. Indeed a great Club to enter. Why didn't I find Atariage before? oh, yeah, my bad English was even worse to participate in a forum...

Ok, I just played a game with 9 lives and fast stalkers on my newly modded 7800 and my Harmony cart, and I completed the game, but when I got the winner screen and the final score, it was a garbled mess. I could not read the score. I'm guessing it was my copy of the game, so I downloaded another copy of the game and I'm going to try again. The game itself played fine, though.

 

Anyone else having trouble with garbled graphics when playing off the harmony cart?

I remember the last time we played this, people using the harmony cart had that same problem. I guess you have to keep track of your score and then add your bonus

Actually, your written english is pretty good, Liduario :)

It was 298 before the winner screen, so adding 150 would give me 448, but without a pic, I will not submit that score. I'll just go back to emulation, but I'm using my Stelladaptor now, which is improving my minigame scores. :)

 

I hope to have a score to post soon. :) Thanks for the info, Gorfy!

You're welcome, and a tough player to compete with... Liduario.

 

Welcome also to the Atari HSC forums! :)

I got a couple of good games in.

 

First I played well through the whole game and got another personal best. So, close to getting over 600 to see if the Mindmaster declares me something other than "awesome".

Then I played it again. My whole life (maybe since age 12, almost 30 years) I've wondered what came after "awesome" and now I know.

 

The Mindmaster has declared me "Cheating"!

The Harmony bug is a documented issue. This picture represents my score of 444 from a quick B/B game.

 

Sorry I've been out of it until today, but I've been a bit sick/busy this week, and my kids were nice enough to let me play three rounds this Easter afternoon to at least post a score. I'll try the tougher variations if I have time for another game, otherwise, I hope this is enough to keep me safe. I really love this game, and know I could rock a higher score if I'd been playing the whole time.
