jblenkle Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 OK, I am not that familiar with this game, but I guess I only made it to the first volcano on the first mountain. SCORE: 700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felson42 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Awesome run Ignorama! What are the levels like on the ninth island? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 The die is cast... 6,700 (world: 8.7) I cant speak about world 9 yet, but Im very quickly believing that Imagic rushed this game to market, recycling BB's graphics and didn't test it, instead said f- it, let's just cheat, nobody's going to play it this long.

Ignorama Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) @ Felson The Beach and Jungle are harder, many hurdles, the lava screen was quite as in level 6, but its nearly impossible to put more hurdles on the screen The bridge is the killer, because its damn quick and on level 9 I was dead before I really recognized what happened.

cparsley Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 I can vouch for 6,7,8 getting faster than the dickens on the bridge, and if the patterns continues, I dont doubt Ig's post about 9.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cparsley Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 One last shot before going to bed... and I'll be honest, I originally didn't think Imagic planned too much with this game, but as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words debunking that... enjoy the RED mountain! Good nite all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignorama Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) Here my last score. One red mountain (you get a red mountain if you beat the game 10 times) and 8 green mountains. Edit: I made a video of the last levels, I try to load it up to youtube, but I dont know if it works.

Oscar G. Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) Hey guys, This is my last advance. Unfortunately, I have not had too much chance to play lately. Oscar G. 8-4, 5700 points (I hope this is right, as I finished the game 7 times I died in world 8 then... This sounds too Super Mario Bros to me I've seen you had some impressive scores. Congratulations to all. :thumbsup: Cheers, Oscar Not allowed...

cparsley Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 game is closed.... updating scoreboard to show final. PS - wonder what happens at 100 completes? (Purple mountain?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) Here the last 15 minutes of my score (and my first Youtube-Video) My Intellivision was damn hot and so I decided to use my cam to film my score if the console turns out. I share this, because I can imagine that some are interested in the high levels and my strategy. Edited July 14, 2013 by Ignorama 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 nice to see mine and ur strategies were one and the same at the higher levels... New game going up tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) You forgot Oscar, he is at 4th place. And its said that WispFlower has no score now :/ This is the corrected list 1. Ignorama - 19.7 (19,750) ( + 10 ) 2. cparsley - 12.7 (12,050) ( + 9 ) 3. mr_intv - 9.3 (8,000) ( + 8 ) 4. Oscar G - 8.4 (5,700) (+ 6) 5. felson42 - 6.7 (4,350) ( + 4 ) 6. INTVDude - 5.7 (4,750) ( + 2 ) 7. jblenkle - 1.6 (700) ( + 1 ) -HSC coordinator's note: Score is correct as posted in post #1... Oscar's score isn't allowed either as it was used in the previous play, so wasn't done in the week timeframe of the competition. After going thru all previous play, there were 2 determined not to fit the rules, Oscar's was one of them.

WispFollower Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 It's my own fault. I was distracted by a slew of other games and did not submit a new score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignorama Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Before I wrote it the bottom line wasnt there. Pretty sad, this is a huge setback for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 The DQ lines were on both disqualified players before I set the scoreboard to final.... Please keep further arguments on game/scoring to private thread... thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar G. Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Not allowed... Rules stated must be new play, this was submitted on previous thread... - Cparsley I actually posted that score minutes before you took down the previous tropical trouble thread. Moreover I asked you by PM if it was OK to post this score here and you said yes. As I explained in the PM, I am actually studying and program my play time at very specific times. I didn't have the opportunity to play again. I find it sad you should have disqualified my score. I hope you'll reconsider. Oscar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
