I'm tired of hearing that buzzer. Seems you get stuck if you go to the top left pressie (and you can't get it either)... wonder if this isn't typed in correctly? Someone will have to check out the magazine (on atarimania too). I thought you have to get all of them starting top left?.. Might have a crack at Santa's BD Party seem to remember it being an overly difficult version TNA TNA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalak Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) Some tables (I'll be editing in the points... don't worry Scalak I'm not going to play all the X-Mas bonus games to sneak ahead of you!) How many wi'll You play ? I'll kick your ass on Road Race! or maybe not... -- EDIT -- I have some idea: play this round to have 9 points. Me take 0 point. Next round w'll be verry exciting OK?

You play 1 go on Special Delivery and that will be enough to keep you top I've not played TGACCRR for many years so looking forward to it (if it wins the vote!). I've just played Santa's Boulderdash Party - It's really good, great graphics but it's a bit hard! On the first cave you need to smash one present with a bauble, the 2nd cave is not difficult but it is! You need to be quick to drop enough baubles through the magic walls - collect them later perhaps. You don't need all of them. The snowmen (fireflies) follow a route so you can avoid them if you are careful (I am not!) The third cave looks fun; took me a while to figure out what the heck was going on - will play this some more (2,724) I'll start the final round on the 31st and leave this one running until the 2nd so get them VOTES in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Atari User's Snowball Looks like a secret passageway where the $ is (above the small blue present). Seems you can move over the red or green trails with each other but not the blue... certain points you get stuck for no reason that I can figure... think you leave an invisible trail when you move at the start - you, blue and green? cannot pass over this, but red can! The code is deliberately confusing so I guess someone will have to work out how to collect them all below shows what the things are you collect if this is any help?!

The code is deliberately confusing so I guess someone will have to work out how to collect them all below shows what the things are you collect if this is any help?! Here's the best I've managed: Re Snowball from Atari User, see the docs below from the magazine: Snowball Atari User Vol.3 No.8 Here is a fascinating puzzle game where you take the part of Snowy, a small white snowball trapped inside an ice maze. You want to get outside to play in the snow, but to do this you must solve the secrets of the maze as you look for the solitary secret exit. To move Snowy you can either use a joystick plugged into port one, or the keyboard. The keys to use are Y for up, B for down, G left and H right. If you get stuck at anytime during the game press the spacebar to melt Snowy and start again. As you roll around the maze you will notice that Santa has dropped some of his presents and you can pick them up. Each will allow you to traverse a different segment of the maze and may help or hinder you - but this is for you to figure out. While you're empty-handed you leave a trail of snow behind you and this freezes creasting an invisible barrier. Once you've picked up a present the trail becomes coloured. Santa has also left these clues: * Do you need all my presents? * Think where you want to go. * Some ice is melting. * What colours are my presents? * Merry Christmas!

roadrunner Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 New score for Santa's RVD Party 3,384 Still can't get past cave 2 It seems like when the music stops i can't get new bells to appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Too many christmas games. I'll stick with the Special Delivery only. ... It was only meant to be Special Delivery and a 2 game Catch-Up round but I thought a few people would want to play some extra X-Mas games Re Snowball from Atari User, see the docs below from the magazine: great stuff can anyone beat this now we have instructions and a map?!! New score for Santa's RVD Party 3,384 Still can't get past cave 2 It seems like when the music stops i can't get new bells to appear. I've been playing this... lots! Great game but yes Cave 2 is quite hard - you need to motor on and drop all the balls and then go collect them later, the magic wall has a fixed time. Try and work out a route (at least at the start) that you can repeat - the snowmen mostly stick to the outer wall and loop around clockwise, so follow them (some get looped when the bells drop). Luckily you don't need them all. If you smash a few more presents on Cave 1 you can rack up a few extra men here fairly easily by (boulders can be pushed using fire too so you can stand still and they roll off walls (not the titanium ones) GREED IS GOOD I got to Cave #8 - 10,383 will try and complete this game. I got stuck here for ages: If anyone is really stuck you can start on any cave from the menu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa BD Party - 907 (first try) Great game play it some more I've just got to Cave 13 (after an hour or two!) 18,343 ... Snow Ball ??? Looking at the code - the final secret 'exit' is the inverse space on the top left (corridor under the corner present) but to do the game you need to get them in a certain order - beats me though! Anyone completing this will get 5pts bonus!
