+orpheuswaking Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The most important thing is to Split the Qix once you start getting two, you have to do this nine times and then you start getting a hefty 9x multiplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+orpheuswaking Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) There is one PAL and one NTSC point you can't have both... GREEDY Looks like I have to try and beat your score... AGAIN! Edited March 8, 2013 by orpheuswaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin case Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) As I can't snag the ntsc point for qix I've had to resort to Alternity for my point fix: Obviously, practice is needed (by the boatload!)

+therealbountybob Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Just made my day, my daughter has a friend over after school today. Zogs friend has been forced to play Qix by zog! She is loving it. Her quote of the day is "this is so much better than Nintendo " there is hope for the future. That is awesome Often it's finding the right games for littler ones to enjoy and the right sticks too. It's probably the best example of a simple idea for a game, simple graphics, and yet so darn addictive... She's earned a bonus point for getting someone else to play I had another qixillion goes but failed again to improve! If I'd spotted the ntsc / pal point divide before I played my last game I would have given ntsc a try: 956,904 on PAL Do I get extra point(s) for doing it again on ntsc? (got nothing to do tomorrow) There is one PAL and one NTSC point you can't have both... GREEDY Looks like I have to try and beat your score... AGAIN! HSC triple champ poobah once said "you guys are insane" when Qix was played in the HSC season's ago... and yes, YOU GUYS ARE INSANE ok there's a 2pt bonus for anyone clocking 1,000,000 points. Alternity I improved to 30,940 - it's a case of always getting the shields and nabbing the bonuses...still not beaten 2nd round "green" suspect the game gets more intense (and fun) later on - for fun hit select a few times to try it out folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam242 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) A little better... 131075. And a first attempt at Alternity for 4582. Odd little game, but I like it! Edited March 9, 2013 by adam242 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdh Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Squeezed a few more goes in. I was on course to smash my score then it glitched out </rage quit> Managed to post a small improvement - 42855 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always were a point grabbing b"£$ard If you've got time for a new project then how about some coding on the humble 8-bit Atari?!!! there's tons of stuff on atariarchives.org and the mags are all on atarimania... pokeysoft has loads of disk images utilities etc Still time to VOTE for round 4!
