+therealbountybob Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Abracadabra and PAC MAD I think the concensus from the poll was that this selection won! Round ends Sunday 25th August 10am yes I checked that this day exists! I think we played Abracadabra before and PAC MAD is pretty good so should be fun :) (the pathetic forum search fails to find either, I must get up to date with my HSC spreadsheets!)

carlsson Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I just noticed that on the last three threads you have used HSC12 in the subject. I think it should be be HSC16. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKong Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Yes we played Abracadabra a few years ago, it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Ok, some placeholder scores after nearly two weeks of gaming abstinence. Abracadabra! - 17170 pts (still haven't read any instructions, just assuming what to do) Pac-Mad - 17840 pts (got sloppy after a while) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Abracadabra 10910 16150 23470 41620 Slightly frustrating when something spawns right on top of you! Also when you can't get out of the exit cos it's blocked. The wizards drop bombs that turn into critters or skulls when they explode, so shoot the wizards and bombs quickly. The critters re-spawn after you shoot them, the wizards and bombs don't. Edited August 16, 2019 by McKong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Maybe we didn't play Abracadabra before? I have a score from July 2015 but can't find it in the forum. Also there's no score in the 'All time' list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Abracadabra: 20,070! Interesting and fun game. Controls seem sticky. Learning to make turns is a little tough, but overall, it's fun: Pac-Mad: 25,900. I don't think I played this the last time it was played, but I like it. I'll be giving this one more of my time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Large improvement on PacMad: 73,870! Got to level 16! Abracadabra: 29,240! Ok, I concur with everyone else...losing a life/game because the exit is blocked is NOT cool! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 No I think that this should be 'fixed' in this game. The exit should not be blocked, at least not for longer than a certain percentage of the time remaining Pac-Mad 29120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
