Recommended Posts

K-Razy Games

For round 11 of the HSC's A-Z of gaming we have a bunch of games by James Zalewski. He is also credited for light gun games Barnyard Blaster and Crime Buster no less :thumbsup::thumbsup: (wonder what happened inbetween?)

Everyone welcome to play. Details of games below - click the pictures to link to the files on Fandal's site. Keep an eye on this post for changes and bonus challenges etc take the defaults for now :)

K-Razy Shootout

Superb Berzerk style game - I think the baddies spawn near the edges so beware! Info

Beat Deteacher's HSC record of 32,300 [s8r5] for a bonus point.

Yes thanks NIKON Sorry I forgot the atarimania links - I've added them to the 1st post too.

 

Feel free to checkout the games and suggest any difficulty options / any fun challenges... not sure if all will be main or bonus games but Shootout is excellent so we have at least one good one!

Decided to start early this round!

 

K-Krazy Kritters 82800

 

Interesting Space Invaders variant! I like that it's quite self-paced with lots of the action depending on whether you shoot blocks or not. Would have loved the intermissions in the 80s but today it feels strange that both the bulldozer and the ringmaster theme as well as the latter's music don't fit with the theme of the rest of the game. What I also don't like is that the action required after shooting a block is always the same without any twist to it.

 

I have no idea why but although I vividly remember the adverts none of these games ever found their way across the Atlantic as I never encountered a real cart or even a bootleg (good copy protection or a reputation for "not working on XLs?")

I like K. Shootout. A very good berzerk clone.
I sort of like K. Antics. I think I have the hang of leading the ants to their watery doom while I have a backup egg.

I don't like K. Kritters. It feels like either a horrible version of Space Invaders/Galaxian where the shots follow you.

I don't mind K. Patrol. It has some decent twitch gameplay, but it feels a little too busy/random and refueling your shields is difficult.

First few warm-ups from me:

Antiks 12530 - Shootout 5760 - Patrol 19610 - Kritters 100200

 

I played Antiks and Shootout a bit as a kid, the others not so much. Kritters is annoying until you get the right rhythm. Is it even possible to shoot the 'kamikaze' ships, or must you simply avoid them?

 

All scores are PAL.

Looks like I need a little less World Cup watching and a bit more Atari playing :-D

Reading the instructions (as I have just started to do!!) is highly recommended particularly for K-Star Patrol; this page has the main controls for the bomb and shield; so you dive into the lakes eh?! I knew there was more to this game :thumbsup:

How many bonus points are available this round for NTSC players? (I might need to switch my emulator to 60Hz so I can catch your points for the season.)

There is 1 NTSC bonus point per game but your pal scores would then not count for that game or games so it's up to you!

There will be plenty of points coming and the next catch-up round will also include "G games" which you missed. There are also the Special Challenges on the Current Standings posts too :thumbsup:

 

For this round anyone winning all 4 games will get an bonus HSC point ;)
