+therealbountybob Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 Jaw Breaker II 28,495 The game gets much faster, looks like it wants to save scores to disk so might try the XEX on a DOS menu disk @rr If you set the firmware to OS/B on the emulator Jaw Breaker II will allow entry / show the high scores correctly. I've asked on the main forum for someone to patch this we trust you so screenshots' optional Candy Factory 496,300 much easier now the screen doesn't flash - game let down by too many extra men The rule for collecting all items doesn't apply after building 3 (where the baddies get very fast and patrol a small area: on this level it's impossible to get the left sided one. You must still get them all if you can. I've added another 2pt HSC bonus for anyone finishing this game; think there are 10- buildings (see comments on atarimania) - will take ages to play mind Gumball I blew bubbles What's that I see from Goochman new tables in a mo...

roadrunner Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 @trbb, firmware i got it. New score for Jawbreaker II 19,260 This game could of been better, this sides of the maze are closed/boxed in. They should be open like the 2600 version.

Goochman Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I dont think its possible to get to President on Gumball - I played a near perfect Manager run and got 40 with almost no time left. With the bins only holding 9 gumballs you have to unload atleast once on VP to get to 50. Impossible to run full steam and not make numerous mistakes - not to mention the bombs come out pretty frequently on VP level. Anyone know what the next 'castle' looks like for Prez?

I have seen The Castle once but somehow I didn't get a score on my board (think it was before I started maxing out the points)... just completed manager by the skin of my ball ... gums... yes gums and then was hit by a bomb frenzy on V.P. 45,310 darn close!

+therealbountybob Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Jelly Beans is way too easy once you remember you can hold fire and move L/R to rotate the middle row - this lets you get more 5 in a rows to maximise scoring; unfortunately the game is really too easy and you can hold fire in and just move randomly and rack up points so I'll make it just 1pt for playing. 204,000 To restart: Press Esc to pause then Start/F2 Jaw Breaker II small improvement 29,955 Blew it on Plaque man (looks like Gury's 7K is a tough score to match) the game is almost too hard to play after level 6 or so; shame you can't drill them bacteria Also blew it on Gumball despite a massive bonus on foreman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Gumball level 1 bonus 4,250 I think this is the max you can get with no drops and 9+9 in the 2nd load? Jawbreaker II - possibly the best bonus game 40,790 gets very fast indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Nice JBII Vid rr :thumbsup: I really like the way the sound came out with the background 'chatter', sounds like a real arcade Your tactics are spot on, very patient steady play unlike my Kamikaze style! Hope you're going to beat my 40K so I can play some more now you can do videos for all the HSC games (hope you put a mention of the HSC on your you tube channel - perhaps a little inbuilt ad in each video?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) Thanks I wasn't looking to add background noise tho. I made a video of ulf's berzerk. i haven't uploaded it yet. I having problems now with altirra, i just get a white screen. i'm not sure what happened. I can't make no more videos or even use altirra. edit - i got it fixed, i had to reset the window outlay. That JB 2 video, i had the timer set for like 340 seconds or so. Time ran out, that's why the vid ended just before i got 19k Edited November 18, 2012 by roadrunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) @trbb, i posted a vid of Ulf's Berzerk! check the description of the vid on youtube I also made a short video of The Bean Machine It's the only vid of this game on youtube Edited November 20, 2012 by roadrunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound is a bonus feature - I like it. Looking forward to seeing some more ULF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) Finally got it together for another good Gumball go... ran out of time with another 12 in my buckets to empty but would still not have made the 50 V.P. target... just had it on a bit too fast and things got too crazy! Mastering the bombs a bit better now (use space bar). 49,740 Turned out to be my 2nd best ever go Next stop the Castle (and the HSC record) Gumball Hints: If anyone's struggling you should be able to make 3k+ on the first screen without any issues; keep the flow rate slow (1/4) and concentrate on not dropping any at all. Leave the game on and watch the demo to get an idea. The bonues for not dropping balls are much more than those for extra balls so just do each level safely HSC Round 18 POLL OPEN Edited November 20, 2012 by therealbountybob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Plaque Man 7,360 (Level 7) - Gumball 54,970 - just smashed my p.b. and the HSC record (sorry Trooper ) still had 30 to go after the 1st unload on V.P. Had 10 I failed to empty at end and think I would be about 10 short of living in ones Castle Screenshots soon as I've finished on Photoshop... no wait I meant getting my phone to connect to the PC, yes that's it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
