+therealbountybob Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 The alternate shooting in this game always spoilt it for me, not my favourite I figure just mash away until I see the bomb where I want it! Just been watching the original Scramble video, looks like COM 2 is the nearest we have? Would be cool to have this converted one day... I might have a (poor) go at a Horizontal scroller for my next project; I'm still polishing Space Fortress Omega 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedThunder Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Reminder this round closes in the morning: Sunday 10am UK time / 4pm EST and remember you can post +500 miles if you reach the 2nd part of the stage (colour change) for less than 10,000 miles. I've had a lot of goes but not improved, but I'm playing again now! RedThunder if you want to post the next round in the morning I'll pin it, looking forward to some racing No problem. I will only have a chance to post later in the evening tomorrow. Or I draft something now and you could cut n past tomorrow morning ? Any thoughts on the Team Trophy ?

+therealbountybob Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 No problem. I will only have a chance to post later in the evening tomorrow.

RT if you wish: send me something to get things started and I'll post it in the morning, we can add more detail when you have time. Teams wise it's difficult as we will not know who will play so perhaps I'll pick some based on the current standings... I can add this /fill out the post tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakeboy Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 4000 miles. Could the hit detection be any more annoying in this game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) I failed on my late night go but RedThunder didn't, and wins the round with a whacking 44,000 miles. I didn't have any issues with the games dynamics (PAL system player), it was all about the gun emplacements and taking them out or waiting for them to fire - I'm not sure but I might have spotted a couple of things for next time: 1 - sometimes the plume hits the bullets stopping them start; 2 - on the big diagonal down tunnel the bullets may pass through the chopper's tail if you are moving right? If anyone missed this round post a late score and join in on the next one Final Tables Super Cobra (miles) 1st RedThunder 44,000 12pts 2nd Dope 31,000 11pts 3rd therealbountybob 23,000 10pts 4th McKong 18,000 9pts 5th Deteacher 15,000 9pts 6th Gury 9,000 8pts 6th ultrasteve 9,000 8pts 8th jfetzer 5,000 7pts 8th Sleepy 5,000 7pts 10th carlsson 4,000 6pts 10th Sikor 4,000 6pts 10th snakeboy 4,000 6pts 10th accousticguitar 4,000 6pts 10th CaptainClassic 4,000 6pts 10th sloopy 4,000 6pts 16th jblenkle 3,000 3pts 17th slx 2,000 2pts 17th Fres 2,000* 2pts 17th roadrunner 2,000 2pts*estimated!

CapitanClassic Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 late score (posting, I actually completed it the first day), put me down for 4,000 miles. I later went on to complete 9,000, but I did that in Altirra at 50Hz, and I kind of like using the 16% expert difficulty switch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
