Vocelli Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) This is Week 20 ~ Paddle Game Eggomania A strangely colored, feathered fowl is bent on bombing your bedeviled blue bear with dozens of even stranger colored eggs.

If you succeed in catching an entire wave, you get the delightful opportunity to get even and fire them back at that turkey ! You'll be dazzled by his reaction.

darthkur Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 What is the best method to "de-jitter" a set of paddle controllers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 What is the best method to "de-jitter" a set of paddle controllers? i don't know the best way, but I do know the quickest: Simply rotate the paddle back and forth through its entire range of motion continuously for 3 to 5 minutes, approximately. This provides a quick fix to the jitters unless your paddles are in really bad shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 So far this game seems less speedy than Kaboom, but it requires more precise movements. My first posted score of the week: 20,112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Last year I got my first pair of paddles. So I have too much to practice... I may not get great scores but I like paddles very much. 1) 9,984 2) 40,096 3) 45,070 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Well, I got lucky again for another week - I just got Eggomania a few days ago! Thanks Gorfy for that tip for paddle controllers! I needed help with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReflectionAngle Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Playing the game before reading the description lead me to believe I was a sad frog rather than a blue bear... To dejitter my paddles, I opened them up and tried to work some isopropyl alcohol into the potentiometer with a fine brush. I made sure to wait till they dried before trying them out again. It helped a bunch. My first score: 4858 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Had to play using the player two paddle. Player one is FAKKED. Got an awesome score 19K and something. Posting pic tomorrow. Good for first try. I always liked games like this, though the shooting of the chicken with the egg doesn't seem to work properly, not sure what the deal is with that. I also noticed a few questionable moments when an egg got past me and I swear I was on it and it had a few bits to descend before hitting the danger zone.

Vocelli Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Really liking this one. Never played it as a kid. I am good at Kabbom, maybe that is why. Vocelli: 39002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Really liking this one. Never played it as a kid. I am good at Kabbom, maybe that is why. That's totes why, Kaboom! was what got me into the 2600, love it. Unlike Kaboom!, though, this game has some questionable collision detection of the eggs at times. I also can't figure where exactly I'm hitting the chicken when I hit it. At times I'm pretty definite I hit it in the same place as before but it misses. Anyway, here's my first score. 19,450 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 my best so far: 21,780 i like this game almost as much as kaboom. the theme & sounds & color scheme suffer a bit. I was thinking I could weasel some extra points in the first three or four levels by letting the last egg drop a few times, then beaning the turkey & getting it cleaned up. I think it's working, but not altogether sure yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
