+therealbountybob Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) Scramble 78,270 As it's too easy, especially with bombs and missiles on the joystick it will be the bonus game.

devwebcl Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Vanguard - 8050 If this game had diagonal movement it would be good Can we use this hack version ? http://atariage.com/forums/topic/277303-vanguard-diagonal-movement/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 Can we use this hack version ? http://atariage.com/forums/topic/277303-vanguard-diagonal-movement/ NO! The game is excellent as it is - see the first post for some tips Thanks for posting this hack, I wasn't aware of it - we can have it as another bonus challenge edit: looks like our Vanguard port only has two tunnel shapes and it changes whether or not you defeat mayey in the "last zone" - the bonus pioint is for how many times you defeat him (and he only gives a measly 1000pts ). We'll play the abbuc games for the next round assuming they are released - I have 1 bug to fix on Ski-It so I hope to be able to release a v1.1 for next weekend 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedThunder Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Ski-It Looking forward to this one. Also, I must get onto the archery game I was warbling about :-) --- Forgive me for even mentioning this here ... I have posted on the ST Forum about an HighScore club there with no joy. How did you go about creating a HSC forum or even getting it going ? I love the Atari 800/XL ... but the ST had have some nice games for high scores..... Oids Mmmmm. IGMC.

carlsson Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Super bonus challenge: Fast Rockets, Fast Scroll, Missiles Only (no using bombs) - if it's not possible to get enough fuels then we can switch to the small ship option. Yes, it seems the small ship is capable of shooting some fuel tanks on the other side of a ridge, which the larger ship cannot so for the purpose of Missiles Only it might be beneficiary to play with the small ship.

carlsson Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Scramble scores so far: Default settings + missiles/bombs on trigger: 32400 pts (as screenshot above, though not recognized by trbb) Fast Rockets: 34360 pts (so better than my score with default settings) Fast Scroll: 19630 pts Fast Rockets + Fast Scroll: 21010 pts Missiles Only + Normal Ship: 13880 pts (equals the settings I played last week) Missiles Only + Small Ship: 13600 pts As I noted above, using the smaller ship likely is better suited to grab fuel when one plays without bombs. I also noted that when you play with Fast Scroll, the game slows down to normal speed for the tunnels on stage 5. Since I've failed to complete the stage, I don't know if it speeds up again for stage 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have talked about game trainer abuse on the game menu etc. They may have a point, but a friendly HSC like here would fun as well. perhaps Oids on the Atari 800 XL would an option....hint, hint nudge nudge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know the games well then you can usually spot clues if anyone was cheating, it's not been a problem here. To be honest I'd be glad if more played, cheating or not, I'll still give them a challenge GO FOR IT RT! Scramble 99,070 - I still can't tell if it gets any harder on the other rounds or if it's just different graphics? you can tell this is a playsoft game, some slick touches. with fast scroll and fast rockets (+both) 32,920 Oids? Fandal has Assembleoids, Asteroids, Droids, Beastieoids (!)... ? hmm Droids looks like it might be a future HSC game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get less than halfway through that stage. The movement is a *little* twichy but you should be able to get right on each horizontal section and use full lock diagonals on the vertical bits. The ships graphic cycling is catching me out for most lives lost so watch out for that too! When you are firing at a row of obstacles pull right at the same time (I've not tried full lock right on this but it might be ok). You cand fire a couple of bombs as you go over the edge with the drop to the row of obstacles - this will take out the middle couple so you can get right sooner - you can also bomb things immediatly below you as you approach them so that can save time and let you get right sooner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedThunder Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Scramble Standard 100,940 FR, FS, Moff 5,840 FR, FS 14,460 and... Oids! Got the ball rolling...well position the ball any way :-) http://atariage.com/forums/topic/284317-st-high-score-club-round-1-oids/ Have a go.... epic game Oids. I was wondering for a 800XL version the ships etc. could be nothing more than a couple of pixels in size. Kind of TinyOids ? I'm using Steem SE 3.9.4 Emulator.

Deteacher Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Vanguard: 142,200. Defeated Gond 3 times. BTW, the longer you take to defeat Gond, the more you score. It's 1,000 if you blow him away right away, but the more the walls close in on you, the higher your score when you shoot him down. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 1,000 if you blow him away right away, but the more the walls close in on you, the higher your score when you shoot him down. Good score. Interesting - I usually just hold in (repeat) fire and release it to move to avoid the bars, sometimes you get him early - I assume the bars fill in the entire space and crush you if you take too long, will look for some videos now! Wikipedia has good Vanguard Info, so there were only two tunnel layouts. More could have been done with this one for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
