Deteacher Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Second place so far... Hey Stan, you might want to check post #17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 A little improvement, mainly due to my switching from the 2600 joystick to the 7800 Prosystem joystick, which seems to be a better ergonomic fit for this game. If you got one, give it a try.... New score: 65,940 I used the prosystem too But the one I got from Yurkie with the ball knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I'm hoping I can find time to play this one this week. I got severely delayed by a few events at the house, so I was unable to get the stream up and running just yet. I am hoping I am able to get it up and running tonight. I have plans tomorrow night, so I'm hoping for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hey Stan, you might want to check post #17. Oh, sorry man! How did I miss that? Did you revise it after you first posted a lower score? I must have based it on that or just missed it. Third then. I'm happy with that for now. Damn hurdles is my problem, the joystick moves so much it's easy to miss the button.

HatefulGravey Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 So what is it about the joystick that makes it easier to run faster? Sadly I do not own this game so I haven't played it on the real hardware yet. I do have a Harmony cart so I could, I just ran it in emulation because I was sitting at the computer when I noticed the next season had started. I would have though the kyboard would be easier. I can tap buttons faster than I can move the stick, but it would seem I was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamerguy99 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) I thought i would do really bad considering the time limit, but then I got this score. 5th place ooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh yeah. I just stayed calm and I got the score. This is my first year so I'm giving all I got, and even then I not done. So look out. plus I'm so close to getting 2.43 on high jump. :!: Edited September 18, 2012 by gamerguy99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrabbler15 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 71,780 Managed to get a little more speed and got better at running all the way to the button press on Long Jump and Javelin. On the last two events I matched my personal bests (Hammer Throw - 92.80, High Jump 2.42), which put me over the top to 71K+. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HatefulGravey Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 The world record for the hammer throw is 91.020, just an FYI. I would be recording that and getting me a world record there Scrabbler. Of coarse some people don't care about this that much, but I think holding an official world record would be sweet as hell. Its 84,370 for the complete game if anyone is wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 just missed the 70k club. Guess I still have a few tries left in me....... new score: 69,750 Got 92.0 on the hammer throw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Shat now I have more work to do! I've gotten up to 2.43 on the high jump, but the big money maker is the hurdles. If you can do it fast enough you can get a lot of points there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'm sorry... 78,150 I would have had Toymail, but I gaffed on the hurdles and didn't get my highest jump on the high jump. Hurdles is my weakness, I just can't get enough speed to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so then I'll be happy to send them my 92.80 hammer throw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Twin Galaxies is full of a bunch of pussies that use full video or representative visits as a way to keep away true gamers who wouldn't waste their time with such trivialities! Seriously, I remember laughing my ass off at the Mr. Do's Castle score. Oyama beat it by a margin of 600 times the score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to read the scores and such and get an idea of the scoring in the game by the TG scoreboard, but I don't get into the community there. I had no idea they didn't have an official for the 2600 right now. Seems pretty crappy to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hate to see that community go away or fight with each other to the point that the place disappears. I heard Todd Rogers is the temp referee right now, but I haven't heard from him personally in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HatefulGravey Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Damn Liduario, that score would have been very nice if you had cleared the high jump. I moved to the Harmony cart. Turns out the joysticks I modded with micro switches a good while bad work pretty well for this game. The timing is a little different on the real hardware so I'm back to struggling with the hammer but I have cleared it a time or two. I have only cleared the high jump once and even then I only just cleared it. 69,600 Not too much better, but I'll take it. I'm going to get a few more tries in today for sure.

Lauren Tyler Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 Attention everyone, I'm sorry for being slow, but I'm still new here. So I'm going to tally up the scores and post them right away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
