Scrabbler15 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 17,600 Never played this version. Played it at the arcades, back in the day, but this week is definitely starting from scratch. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Awesome, StanJr! This is a tough game! Sure that's fair... the pics show it, and remember photo evidence is not a strict requirement -- just much appreciated, especially with great scores. Thank you for the trust. I would never post a 1st place score without a photo. I love the honor system around here, and we have a great community, but I wouldn't feel right doing something like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitanClassic Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Is there any reason we are playing the baby skill level? http://atariage.com/manual_html_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=318 Skill 1: The easiest level, suitable for play by beginners. Your opponents move slowly and track you poorly. 36,000 or so. Making my way to the top Edited February 10, 2015 by CapitanClassic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Just to be clear, since the score has been rolled - The magic number will definitely be "1". Correct? good question, thanks! last time "9" was the magic number for a rolled score. this season we've been counting all rollages 100,000 (or etc.) instead of 99,999 sometimes, and 100,000 others. so let's go with "1" this time! This week, players ranking lower will have a chance to take a little more advantage of the bonus.

karokoenig Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 While we're at discussing fine details of the rules... I don't know if it has been mentioned before: I like your new scoring system, and I find it quite interesting. I'm very curious how it would compare to the old one (25 points for rank 1, 24 for rank 2, etc. - or 50, 48, 46... last year). Anyone with an Excel fetish and some time on their hands care for keeping a secret score through the season with the old system, so we can see how the rankings would change? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Is there any reason we are playing the baby skill level? Likely because we've never played this game before and it looks wise as many of us haven't played Mr. Do! for the 2600 at all. I don't mind a few easier weeks, as I know that the slaughter is coming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind a few easier weeks, as I know that the slaughter is coming. Joust was a good challenge to most of us..., so I'm with Stan, I look forward to this easier arcade week. My strengths are NOT the arcade titles, So watch out for me later on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) I LOVE LOVE LOVE Mr. Do! I played this like mad as a kid. Still love it to this day. Great pick! It's a great game on the ol' 2600. You're welcome, this was an oyama/Mister-VCS game suggestion... and choosen for new Season 4 by myself and S.BAZ of course. We have a good blend of games coming up. So, it's gonna be a good time here Edited February 11, 2015 by JacobZu7zu7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Did you know you could stick your power ball in the wall of the maze and it will sit there like a land mine waiting for a chomper to gobble it up and be destroyed? It's a neat trick I discovered as a kid. Pretty useless, really, as I would rather have my weapon at the ready, but neat anyway. All you have to do is face the wall and get as close as you can without mowing it down. Press the button and immediately move the joystick in the opposite direction. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contest on 2600 OLD HSC Season 5, Week 7 to read the best and helpful tips written by Kurt Woloch: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/115433-hsc-season-5-week-7-mr-do/ I really like that tip where you can shoot enemy through/around the apple if there isn't dirt behind it. Another tip I can add: If you have one cherry left, stand next to it and try to shoot the remaining enemies. You can get another 500 or 1000 or so pts. extra per screen (especially earlier screens). Or an EXTRA letter. Of course, don't do this with a cherry near the enemy re-spawning area in the middle. Stay right by the cherry so you can end the screen if an enemy quickly approaches. I had one game where I saw a glitch. There was an apple on the very bottom of the screen. Two blue chompers were on each side of the rock and seemed stuck to it! I wish I had video. It only happened once. Anyone else see this glitch before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
