I've had 212 on the Marius version and think Zylon had 228 on NTSC? Don't think it affects the scoring may be just a display glitch ? Let me know if you (anyone) does an 8-lapper without crashing (or 2 or less crashes)... the scoring adjustments may be tweaked a bit more as haven't decided if the 8-lap Atari GP offers the same scoring potential on all versions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) I'm waiting for the one, because higher speed saves you time Edited July 17, 2012 by firestorm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Ah, after playing some more I got 212 on NTSC, however I then kept getting the lap 6 bug where it would go to the next lap and only give me 7 seconds. Which sucks as I am trying to complete with no crashes (my previous round had two crashes) Also if I play the 8 lap challenge, am I precluded from the 1 or 2 lap round? Ignore me, I just looked at the tables and found my answer Edited July 17, 2012 by orpheuswaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikor Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 2 lap sesion (Marius PAL): Malibu: 38900 Namco: 38850 Atari: 39750 Interesting: in TRBB atr NTSC verion has longest time than Marius version PAL (90 instead 86 in qulify mode and 75 instead 70 for first lap mode). On PAL computer NTSC version is much easier - so, it is good point to practice on this and after then play in PAL version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hi. Today I gave it a quick try... I used my own version (the Marius version, on my PAL 600XL). This is result for 1 lap races (this is qualify + 1 lap) Unfortunately I now find out I can not upload pictures. I am on vacation and my mobile phone does share the 3G connection, but pics won't upload. So sorry, I am not into the competition this time.

Marius Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 @sikor When I 'hacked' the original Pole Position game, I tried to make Pole Position as hard as the Pole Position on an NTSC machine. I do not have experience with Pole Position on NTSC, but my 'marius' version, should be (if we look at the timing) as hard as the NTSC version. I did not change the speed of the game, so NTSC version is still little different. I won't say NTSC is harder than Marius version. A game that runs faster, can be easier to control. Anyway: I hope you folks have fun with this competition. I might join again sometime... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marius Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 What is different from PAL version? You have seriously less time each round, and you get less extra time. It has been calculated a few times (by me) to make sure the comparison with NTSC (original version!) is as close as possible. So playing a qualification round on the Marius Version on a PAL computer, will lead to (almost) same result as playing the smae qualification round with the original Pole Position on a NTSC machine. And this guilts for all other laps too ofcourse. And I fixed the flag... in the existing file verisons the flag was garbaged (the flag in the final round) For HSC purpous I colored the sky purple, so you can easily see that the 'tweaked' version is used. but again: play the marius version on a PAL computer ofcouse.

Greetz Marius Hey Marius sreen shots are optional (that goes for anyone else thinking of playing: just join in) we trust you I've extended this rounds so Pole Position now finishes on Saturday 28th 10am BST The vote for round 12 will be a double vote, so get your suggestion in on the other thread everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was 227. sounds like you need a tune up Has firestorm stayed in Pole Position? checkout the latest TABLES with the new "fiddle factors" (based on the top scores posted for each version/track) If anyone is confused: everyone plays the 1 and 2 lap series' and a choice of either the "Pro Challenge" [hard] OR the "Ham 'n' Eggers Challenge" [easier]; c'mon guys give Mr Blenkle a challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) sounds like you need a tune up My 361 is just fine. That's just the "beefy" cam idle. Here's something for Mr. Blenkle to shoot for. This shot's from the last time we played MGP 8lap version so it wouldn't count now. Edited July 18, 2012 by zylon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
