I think it is in the video I posted earlier (that post has 2x videos). For round 3, start slow speed, then full speed, trying to get the cars on top of each other (but mostly I have them driving behind each other) For round 4, it is easy to get them on top of each other. If I have time I will try to do another one for video starting at level 3. For Level 5 it is a bit difficult to complete, but not impossible. For Level 6 it is easier to get the cars on top of each other, easier to complete the level (and then it looks it keeps this setup/pattern for next levels).

globeron Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Score 81,375. Focus on the purple sattelites to launch them. (Joystick backwards to shoot a purple laser). I guess with this competition it is to keep the enemy alive as long as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count9929A Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 12 hours ago, Vorticon said: Yes, that's kind of a weird concept... I think the problem is in how the "high score" concept is computed (in the game!). The aim of the game is to win the duel (according to the manual), so to have a score higher than your opponent. Hence (as suggested by the manual) one should try not only to gain points, but also to avoid that the opponent gets points. In practice, to win the duel (especially against a human player), it should be important to block satellites deflected by the opponent towards your "camp". In contrast, to achieve an high score, I think that one has only to concentrate in gaining points, i.e., in "attacking" and not on "defending". I remember that also back in the days I saw this as a problem of the game (yes I had this game when I was a kid, my only MBX cart... unfortunately it does not work anymore!) A better "high score" would be the greatest difference between player and opponent scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count9929A Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 my best score: 97850 however, as you can see, Saturn (aka TI99) did a better score (and also killed my last ship, winning the duel): 98975. Currently it leads the competition!!! ? this game was played on MAME at 60hz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 There is a real chance Saturn might win... I think we should add it to the player roster! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturn is the name of the other player in demo mode. I was thinking that we could have a second competition, in which the winner is the player that gets the highest difference between his score and the opponent's score. It's a little uncomfortable to register score differences, but can be done looking at the screenshot of the game over screen. For instance, here it is my entry in this (possible) second competition: 54225 - 26000 = 28225.

I see, it became a question of patience. That's why I was suggesting to consider (as second competition, maybe) not the high score but the difference between the score of the two players. I also post the picture of the highest difference I got so far, +80375.
