classicgamer_27330 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 stopped taking risks when I was on my last man, around 9,000 (stayed above ground, made sure i didn't get drowned in a puddle, and just slipped on the gator crossing at 2 min left. I'd like to see someone hack this game but like make a 2nd quest sorta like Zelda had for the NES. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 109989 LOOK AT WHERE I AM! (expletive deleted) This is probably my last go. Trying for perfect has completely sucked the fun out of Pitfall! for me and I'd like to still enjoy this game at some point in the future. I may give it one more go, but likely not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Stan Jr, I posted almost the same exact picture above, before I got my perfect. On the first route heading right, get so good at it that the clock is over 19:00 when you descend the ladder to return left. With perfect timing you can do it. I shaved 10 seconds here, giving you breathing room later. Watch NorthCoast's video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Kings of the Jungle club! 107,852 Lots of map-checking and running into logs. Played it safe after failing a scorpion jump early on, and luckily reached three treasures in a row with literally seconds left on the clock. Just like StanJr, I think I'll leave it at this for the moment. Happy to have crossed the 100k. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Yeah, I know how to do it, I missed a tunnel in the run posted above and that's where I lost time. I get lulled into a trance sometimes when there is a long gap between tunnels and I end up missing my exit. Plus, I seem to be invariably attracted to at least one log. I might try once more tonight, but if not I can live with my score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. That's why I didn't even try for perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorfy Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Improvement: 109,814 I'm beginning to suspect that I would never attain a perfect score regardless of how much I practiced. Big kudos to NCG, Cafeman, and all you who just barely missed 114k! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReflectionAngle Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 81,357 This could be the first time I've run down the clock. I was playing pretty cautiously after losing two Harry's in the first two minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Finally cleared 100k: 105,846 Someday I'd like to beat my all-time best... but that's another 4k I don't have in me this week.

+Nathan Strum Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I hate to ask this - because I think the answer is going to knock me way down in the standings - but how are you keeping track of scores? Are you using a spreadsheet? Because based on my week-to-week standings, my total at the beginning of this week should be only 113, not 139. 15 + 3 (Q*Bert w/bonus points) 20 + 1 (Jr. Pac-Man w/bonus point) 25 + 3 (Joust w/bonus points) 25 (Mr. Do!) 21 (Frogger) = 113 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I'm on the last screen before the gold. I don't know where I lost time, I hit every tunnel, but that is as close to a perfect run as I can do. Urge to kill, maximum. 110000 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
