sometimes99er Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 3rd attempt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count9929A Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 even tough it's with the PAL setting, this one is nice... Again this was played at Level 1 "merely aggressive" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I just got a 13000+ score with the European version, can't prove it, though, because the snapshot somehow failed to work. I'll try again. But you may find this interesting: While I have big trouble getting beyond the 8000 points on the 60Hz emulation, I got these 13000 points right afterwards. And you see how much it differs already in the first level. If you played the PAL version, try to get your score again with the NTSC version.

+mizapf Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 OK, this screenshot now worked (seems as if I was on Partial mode the last time, pressing ScrlLock, thus switching to full mode, where F12 as screenshot hotkey does not work). Again, just the 50Hz version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

globeron Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Just played it in the airplane on the Sony PSP with TI99 I got around 9675 points I am pretty impressed that it has the same speed/experience as the real TI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 mid-way point in the month... Who is going to hit 20k??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 At this point I'm just a spectator. I can barely break the 3000 points despite all my efforts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Mggrrrrpmph ... closer again, but still second. (50Hz) Guys, you better not relax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count9929A Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I agree that at 60 hz is much more difficult. I trained a bit, but for the moment I don't have good scores. I have to say that I like more the 50hz speed, because it's the way I used to play it in the '80. My current best (for this month) at 50hz: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 First time beyond 10000 in the 60Hz version! (handss sttill shhakkingg...) (title bar "ti99_4a" = 60Hz, "ti99_4ae" = 50Hz) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count9929A Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 my first decent score with the NTSC speed (60hz): then another improvement with the PAL version (50hz):I think to be the first to go through the 20k barrier! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Se-ri-ous-ly cool! I vaguely remember the bird-like invaders at the top rows, but I'm not sure whether I ever got past them. Still some days left for practising... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still some days left for practising... thanks! :-) Years ago, I managed to go past the birds. If you want, I can give you a hint to remember what comes next!

sometimes99er Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 The source code lists the invaders as EYES 00111 FLASHER 11000 FLASHER BAT PULSAR HALF FLASHER WITH EYES TURNOVER SNAKE INVADER THREE INVADER TWO INVADER ONE And they should look something like this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hey, what about a title like "Warning: SPOILER!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sometimes99er Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Hey, what about a title like "Warning: SPOILER!" Yes. Actually had the thought - to put it in the spoiler tag, but as I came back to this several times, I unfortunately forgot. Can't edit the post, but at least removed the image. I actually hacked the game, and videotaped a 15+ minute session. I haven't yet counted the levels, but it wraps around after what seems like an endless number of levels with Eyes and Flashers.

+InsaneMultitasker Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I haven't been able to score any higher. I can't even fathom playing the downright nasty option... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Last day for the invaders ... anyone else to stop Count9929A? I did try every day now, but ... well, that's all I could do ... a real wizard, he is. But it is interesting to see what a difference there is between 50Hz and 60Hz, isn't it?

+mizapf Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 OK, I think this won't get much better for me (60Hz) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Here is a video clip again, obviously I already did better, but it's OK I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Owen? No one here to declare Count9929A as winner of the February competition? @Count9929A: In the meantime you can make up your mind what game should be the challenge for March. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
