Vocelli Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Vocelli, just for clarification the poker bonus only counts on your highest score, correct? Correct...But I guess next time it would be fun to try and make a great poker hand in addition to the submitted high score. This time only your submitted high score constitutes your poker hand. But next time we do poker.... oh you get the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great score. You're almost beating Toymailman's high score. Toymailman won two HSC seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) A breakthrough - for my standards: 28,796. I do, however, fear that much more Oink! may rip my cursor keys to shreds... P.S. @Gorfy: I take it you update the score list? You may want to remove the double entry with your old score. And: Thanks so much for all the work, man!

S.BAZ Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 thanks Gorfy & Liduario 83,240 tips i'm using: as soon as the bricks reappear, dump as many as possible quickly to the center of the area with most holes. then I work outward, grabbing toward L or R, dumping toward center of holes. maybe you all know this already, but once I got the hang of grabbing one way & dumping the other (quickly) my score jumped by about 30K. after grabbing a brick, hold the button, turn & release button. you can do it really fast, dumping more bricks toward the center of the holes, while running away from the center. hand durability tip: I use right hand pointer finger to rapid-fire bricks whenever I get a chance to stand in one place under bricks & over holes! it happens often and gives the L thumb a break at the most button-mashingest parts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vocelli Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 I was a very good OINK player as a kid. Let me see what I can do now. With the holiday week, not sure of play time. Cracked 20K on the first pig and then the next two pigs couldn't live up to the challenge. I have to have THREE good pigs to have a GREAT score. TIPS: The wolf will concentrate on one spot. You need to key on that one spot and make sure your don't get hit by his breath because that is wasted bricks and time. If the wolf moves to a different spot ignore it. You need to concentrate on that one spot. Vocelli: 48516 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aftermac Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Another game I have never played before!!! That's one thing I've always loved about the HSC is playing games I've never played before. If it wasn't for the HSC I would have never had a reason to ever play OINK! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 My feelings exactly!!! Plus you get to revisit old games you haven't played for a long time...like Tunnel Runner. I used to play that back in the day for hours on end!!! That's one thing I've always loved about the HSC is playing games I've never played before.

oyamafamily Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) OINK - PARTICIPATION POINTS - GAME 1-BB - 40,000 (USING EMU7800 WITHOUT SOUNDS - MUTE ON) Some games I play better without sounds.

classicgamer_27330 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) are 0's high or low for the bonus? can we take worse scores for the leader board that are better poker hands? Edited July 2, 2013 by classicgamer_27330 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vocelli Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 are 0's high or low for the bonus? can we take worse scores for the leader board that are better poker hands? Sure... but your HIGHEST posted score will be the one used. So if you post it, I use it. As for the 0's, the 0's are low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aftermac Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 55,288 Ouch... I am not going to be able to type tomorrow at work... My feelings exactly!!! Plus you get to revisit old games you haven't played for a long time...like Tunnel Runner. I used to play that back in the day for hours on end!!! And even when you would feel nostalgic and play games from your childhood, you might play a game or two... certainly not play the same game for several hours every night for a week straight!

And: Thanks so much for all the work, man! @Karokoenig -- Thanks, but actually I just update the Overall Standings every Monday. Vocelli updates the scores during the week, and does a fantastic job keeping up with it. @Vocelli - Speaking of double entries, S.BAZ is currently listed twice in the score list.

Vocelli Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Had first and last pig really do well. That second pig really let me down. I broke 20K with my first pig. Vocelli: 79732 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+craftsmanMIKE Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 58,240 i left the game on to wait for the camera, but when I came back the screen had gone black... improvement w/ pic pending... My kid was playing my console earlier today. When I just turned on the TV, the screen was black, moved joystick left and right, the screen woke up with the last game and score still there, and active. (he had a killer 48 points racked up, and one pig left, I played the last pig to 11500ish, he's 5, so not bad) I would say just don't hit reset, or select, and the score should still be there. Hope it helps. Not sure how it would work on Stella though?? I think COMMANDO RAID worked this way also, scared the hell out of me when I went to get the phone, and came back to a black screen. But a giggle of the joystick, and you should be good to go. GREAT SCORES ALL!!!!!! THE BAR IS VERY HIGH THIS SEASON!!!!! Anyone know the Twin Galaxies records on this one, since they changed format I can't find them anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
