+arcadeshopper Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 Does this game play well with the Wico Tracball, I wonder.... yep though this is with joystick first time in a while too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 A little better... not much though. A whoooooole lot of rust to knock off here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sometimes99er Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 That's actually a rather nice, slightly twisted, implementation of Missile Command. The font is a bit strange - as it is somewhat inconsistent. There seem to be several different versions out there. At least when it comes to soundeffects, - the one I played in Classic99 and 2 videos on YouTube. Are there any pictures of cartridge and manuals ?

+Ksarul Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 From experience, it does very well with the trackball, @opry99er. Of course, your rusty score is about ten times what I could do on my best days--games and I don't get along that well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opry99er Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I find that anything over X14 is extremely tough... My mind doesn't seem to want to work any faster than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Barrage GOOD NEWS BAD NEWS 1) There is a FlashROM 99 version! My score S U C K S (355190) 2) It does not require 32K! 3) It plays well with the track ball! 4) It's a great game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opry99er Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Hmm.... Games might have me whipped on this one... I'll play hard though. I would love to win that card. Goodscore, buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwantgames:) Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Not good enough I know I can get over 600,000 I done it before but for some reason tonight I can't I did get a little better tho, 515,210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I think my best was 545k. Been a while though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfernalKeith Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 It's been ages since I participated in one of these, but Barrage is my jam. Are there any rules about how to obtain the high score (iron vs emulation, keyboard vs joystick, etc)? I can pretty consistently post up around 500,000 and I've been known to go beyond that occasionally. And I need something to keep me from playing Agario constantly and never getting any better at that stupid game... :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Are there any rules about how to obtain the high score (iron vs emulation, keyboard vs joystick, etc)? You should say whether you're playing on PAL or NTSC (European vs. American consoles); with emulation you should choose 60Hz. We noticed that gameplay on 50Hz is visibly different.

Opry99er Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Getting better... this is about my average from before... still nowhere near my best. Will keep trying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwantgames:) Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I can't seem to get much over 500,000 this weekend. But I got a little higher tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Damn you, sir.... I am still 50k behind you!!! Looks like I will need to start using the force... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Be warned... If somehow I DO pull this off and win, you all will be subjected to my favorite Funware game. I will offer 30 bars of gold pressed latinum as the reward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwantgames:) Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Henhouse? I sux at henhouse :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) It might be Rabbit Trail or St. Nick for all you know... Just think about it this way... A score over 10k is in contention on Henhouse... Just keep the fox away, and mind your chutes. My best on Henhouse is north of 20k, but I've only done it a couple times.

Opry99er Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 And I find that on real hardware it is tougher than in Classic99 for one reason or another... Don't know why, maybe it is just perceived, but on hardware, I rarely score over 15k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwantgames:) Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 It might be Rabbit Trail or St. Nick for all you know... Oh, I just figured since Henhouse is your pic that that must be your favorite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I almost wish the photos and bragging or mention of actual scores was put off to the final week. That way us players that totally suck could be deluded enough to think we have a fighting chance for a while and actually enjoy playing. These mega scores just drive away potential players. Just an opinion from a lousy player. You can still talk smack, without showing your cards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I almost wish the photos and bragging or mention of actual scores was put off to the final week. Why I posted my score? - Because I'm not sure whether it has already been the highest one I'll be able to achieve. I remember at the beginning there was a high score list by game, also showing second and third places, so it may make sense to post a weaker score that won't make you win. Maybe we should think about a special website for that competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
