jblenkle Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Since you never die in this game, how do we handle the scoring? I made it through the first level of the game, but am getting nowhere in the 2nd. So do we just submit our first level score? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made it through the first level of the game, but am getting nowhere in the 2nd. So do we just submit our first level score? I will quote from the last mod (darthkur) who ran this game as I think he explained it well. You can also look back in our history and check the thread. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/141683-season-2-5200-hsc-round-4-pitfall-ii-lost-caverns/ "Sure, because that's your highest score you achieved in that particular game. When you finish the first part, the game keeps track of the score you achieved at the end of pt 1. It then keeps a secondary score for part 2, that being the total of your pt 1 score and whatever you do to alter it on the 2nd part. If you got to the second part and lost a lot of points on the secondary score field the total for the first would still count. It does get a bit complicated since there is no time limit for this version of Pitfall. So exceptions have to be made.

jblenkle Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Pitfall II - 164,298 I've pretty much given up on the 2nd part of the game. I can never get past those ants or whatever they are. Edited July 16, 2015 by jblenkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atariron82 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Here's an all-time personal best, completing the first cavern. The second cavern?...wow is it tough! Peak score(it all goes down from here): 153,273 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) This game is a tough one. Highest I managed yet was about 26k and it just falls from there. I rarely get past the first bird. This game would be awesome if you could "duck". Edited July 23, 2015 by zylon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zylon Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Looks like I might be packing up my system and heading back to Georgia for the next few months to couple years. I have been offered a great gig as a consultant for machinery I used to run. So my play is going to be sporadic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
