carlsson Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Me too, a bit much of other things to do and prepare. Besides I doubt I'd improve my position, only secure it in case of latecoming posters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 OK We'll extend this round until 10pm tonight - I'll have another play at least 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devwebcl Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I made too many mistakes crashing against the walls trying to avoid tax/robbery/goon. At the end, I finished with -8k. Definitively it's not my game However it was great to play it, so finally I understood what was the idea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 I suppose the game could be played to lose the most money, you'd still have to accumulate to speculate to lose it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+slx Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) Gave it a try, dodged the tax collector successfully just to run into the robber.... Didn't make it to a final score but having lost all my money it would be clearly negative, around minus 24K'ish.... This is about as exciting as solo monopoly but still interesting what passed as a game as late as 1983. Back then the smooth scrolling and large playfield might have impressed me, but even "Take the Money and Run" on the O2 is more exciting....

+therealbountybob Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 I've quite enjoyed it but it took a few goes - there are a few tips on this thread. I played again (properly), risked going to the loan shark got the stocks, waited for ages for them to go up, got beaten up, sold them got to the loan shark with 60K on me (I did feel the pressure) and a final score of $7,358 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Is this the first game in HSC history where you get points for a negative score? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
