Opry99er Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) Well, if you really want to change the game, I'll play ball. Not a good score but it was my first attempt... I'll get better Edited February 3, 2018 by Opry99er Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Please, enjoy. SCORE= 3475 It just dawned on me that you were using TI beeps to cover your language.... Dude, that is "other-level" badass..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Well, if you really want to change the game, I'll play ball. Not a good score but it was my first attempt... I'll get better Good first score. It's a very tough game for me even though I programmed it And no I really did not want to switch games but it would have been pointless to continue. Shame on Imagic and TI for releasing an unfinished game and disappointing a bunch of guys 36+ years later! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinphaltimus Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) First time playing - Took me a while to find all the controls and figure it out. I think I may need to plug in my joystick... Because I know the next score is going to be 10x mine...EDIT:Sorry for the upside down. Computer does not reflect this orientation prior to upload.

+Vorticon Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 You got that far with just the keyboard? Respect, even though It's upside down ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Here is a new RPK for TurboForth. Start the game with mame64 ti99_4a -ioport peb -ioport:peb:slot2 32kmem -ioport:peb:slot8 hfdc -cart turboforth.rpk -flop1 JetPac.dsk Leave away the 32kmem if you have the internal 32kmem mod active. If it is not active and you leave it away, you will get a permanent beep tone when entering TurboForth (presence of memory expansion is not checked). (And you may be grateful for the floppy sounds after all, since it takes about one minute to load, and as long as you hear the floppy working, everything's good. ) turboforth.rpk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I bought this a couple of years ago from Greg at Fest West 2016, but never played it... as you can tell from my score. I guess I need to practice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tursi Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Just as simple as renaming the cart huh? Well that was easy and it worked Thanks! Before the FinalGROM people were really good about tagging their files... now it seems that knowledge has been lost. It kind of frustrates me because I worked hard to make Classic99 work with existing systems - the naming convention goes back to the original DOS V9T9 (with extensions for newer carts ), and it's not like tagging the filename prevents the FG from loading it... What about the issue with the dsk version and the TF included with the Classic99 distribution? Mark will have to answer that, there's nothing wrong I could see from the emulator's side - the file seems to be fine. They are different versions, maybe JetPac relies on the newer one...?

Tursi Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Holy crap... so much patience required. Every time I got greedy I was punished! But at least I got an entry this month! 6000 - Classic99 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Damn... That's going to be tough to beat... Did you get past U1? What I noticed is that one should concentrate on avoiding the monsters while collecting the fuel and rocket pieces and only shooting when absolutely necessary because otherwise you get easily distracted. This is particularly important with the bouncing and seeker monsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinphaltimus Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Yeah but those extra drops tho'.... 6k - WT*? Damn. Gonna have to give it a few more goes before turning in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinphaltimus Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) I'm very sorry to be the bringer of bad news, especially after what happened with Demon Attack. I can do this all night. After putting the U1 back together and fueling it up, I thought. What's the rush? Why do I have to leave? so I didn't. I'm able to sit here safely on the first planet and never enter U1 causing a launch. I just sit here collecting air drops.So the high score winner this month will be the marathon player who can sit in front of their computer for the longest amount of time simply collecting air drops.My score is already up to 15075 with me standing on the middle platform, looking at a fallen air drop as I type this. I can go, pick up the joystick, collect that airdrop, return to my safe place and continue typing. Which I already did. I know have 15325 points.I'll do this a bit longer and post another pic. I have 2 lives left because I missed drops that went to the floor. I've gotten better now. ...

Tursi Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Yeah, that's fair! I got as far as I did by standing still and shooting meteors until they were all clustered at the top, then when I moved up, reversing the process. If they didn't die, they didn't respawn. I got to the third level and even with the bouncy fellows the strategy was still mostly working. I thought the random drops eventually stopped, so I advanced, I was up to level 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinphaltimus Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 20075 - I still have 2 lives left. Shall I keep going? I can put the joystick down, go make a pot of coffee, come back and play all night long if I have to.....I'm up to 20825 in the time it took to upload the photo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinphaltimus Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I don't even need to fire my lasers anymore. I'm spending so much time with these aliens, I thik I'm going to start naming them.22825 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Road Hunter is a good game too. You have to keep moving to pick up fuel or game over.... no sitting around hoarding points in that one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
