OVERALL STANDINGS THROUGH MS. PACMAN

If I did my math right, NCG should have made up 3 points so we should be seperated by 29 points instead of 32.

NCG should have scored 78 points with the +3 bonus, and have 588

I should have 72+3 bonus for 617.

 

(Sorry, didn't do the math for any other players in the HSC.)

 

Circus Atari - 9999 (Bonus +2)

Finally a bit of time to play, and I got into a little flow.

 

New score Game 6/6 (A/A): 3,395.

 

Bonus Game: 099 and 399 for 2 points.

 

Love this game! Even in the failed attempts at a new high score, I enjoyed every single minute.

The cool thing about this game is: once you're in a flow, you know the rollage can be done. At least that's how it feels to me. Gosh, I love this kind of game.

I used to roll this one all the time when I was a kid (but I also had a real paddle.) Some tips:

 

You can press the button to flip the teeter-totter. This is useful near the edges, where it might be impossible to catch a clown if you don't flip.

If the clown hits the edge, they will slow down.

You score 1 point foe hitting the teeter-totter, which is useful when trying to score '9's.

If you clear a rack, an 'X' appears next to the score to indicate you have a bonus life clown.

 

(I seem to remember that on a real system, you can swing the teeter-totter back amd forth with the paddle faster than the collision detection could determine if you hit the ground. Didn't try this with my mouse/emulator. If true, it would be almost impossible to lose a clown.)
