DuggerVideoGames Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Since the score rolls over to zeroes at a million points, let's just assign a million points for achieving a rollover. I paused the emulator to save a screenshot when I was about to roll over the score. After saving the screenshot, I resumed playing and took another screenshot after the rollover.

JEFF31 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Jeez... OK 30 years ago my best was 158K on level 1 (just checked my computer PUNCH cards...) Damn you younger players!!! Level 2 will be harder - so (MOST) likely a lower score... I told myself to play the games and just enjoy (who cares if you come in fourth (Umm LAST you idiot!) - every one remembers the person who finishes out of medal competition ) Sigh Jeff PS OK but I'll try... this IS a fun group of players. (no promises - see below - most days I'm 'spent' after work and do no have time) Now IF I can find time to play (have worked 42 of the last 43 days). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuggerVideoGames Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Rolled the score over on Skill 3 as well. I used to be able to roll the score over on Skill 4 but am having a lot of trouble doing so this time (if I get to level 9, I have it made; however, the dragon room on every 2nd level is a pain in the ass). Fun fact for those of you who see others' screenshots: if the screenshots are outside where the hall monsters are, you can tell what skill level they played on.Skill 1: 5 monsters Skill 2: 6 monsters Skill 3: 7 monsters Skill 4: 8 monsters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuggerVideoGames Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Finally rolled over the score on Skill 4. Had to play for about an hour to do it because I kept getting game overs in the dragon room! If you're lucky enough to survive the dragon room and reach level 9 (thus never having to do the dragon room again), then you can do it. Paused emulator to save screenshot before rollover, saved the screenshot file, then resumed emulator to exit the room and get the rollover and take another screenshot after the rollover. As you will see, 8 hall monsters on the post-rollover screenshot to show that it's indeed Skill 4. Skills 1-3 for me? Easy. Skill 4? Pain in the ass and a lot of luck needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcoastgamer Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Venture is one of those games I never really got into or achieved much of a score on except for maybe a few 100k on Skill 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was blown away by the million you achieved on Gust Buster; the best I've ever done on that was a bit over 22k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmack36 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 805,200 .. so close to flipping it which unfortunately I won't have time to do before the round is over 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 How on earth did you get such a high score by Level 9? I made it to Level 9, but had less than half what you did. I really have problems with the control on this game. It seems really sluggish and awkward. 805,200 .. so close to flipping it which unfortunately I won't have time to do before the round is over 20170930_233734.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
