Cynicaster Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 Thanks to all who participated in the Holiday 5-pack. Now, on to round 5. Hard to believe we're at mid-season already. Note, per the recent vote, everybody's lowest (3) percentage scores have been removed from their average calculation for the overall standings. With this round, we're back to the usual 2-week length.

Cynicaster Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 Lasso is pretty fun once you get into the rhythm of it. I feel bad for anyone using d-pads, though. 88,320 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.A.M.E Offender Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Pretty cool game. It doesn't have that " SNK" feel to it like the mid to late eighties SNK games. And controlling your character via 4 way stick can be wonky at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.A.M.E Offender Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 You see, this is what is so great about these High Score Clubs. Without them, I would likely have never discovered a lot of the classics games that I frequently enjoy today.

hero2billions Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I agree. My favorites folder has doubled since i started playing in HSC.Lasso, armoured car,xybots and time pilot to name a few. lasso 14,040 15 hours ago, M.A.M.E Offender said: You see, this is what is so great about these High Score Clubs.

youxia Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Nice games but not ones I see myself getting too deep into. I'd rather still play Sorcer Striker...or Bubble Bobble (after Snow Bros). Lasso - 83,760 Snow Bros - 79,730 (y'all turn 6 digit scores on this? Am I missing something?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something?) 1. Give Snow Bros. a try. Just like BB, there are ways to score big points. The three ways I know how to score big is: 1. Rollover all enemies in one snowball. This triggers a shower of large dollar Bills at the end of the board that are worth 10 thou apiece which must be collected quickly or they disappear. 2. Pack 2 snowballs together making sure they are close enough together. If done right, you can shoot one snowball in each direction, which will greatly increase your chances of wiping out all enemies in one. Each hit during your snowballs attack gives you 8k apiece. 3. Get all three potions. Blue - large toss Yellow- far toss Red - run fast. Guaranteed you will hit 100k if you implement these basic strategies.

AtariWarlord Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Lasso 42,300. Has anyone else noticed that sometimes your character freezes up for a split-second (long enough to lose a life) once you've completed a loop? Snow Bros 124,500. 155,740. Finally broke the six-figure barrier. Edited January 14, 2020 by AtariWarlord Added Snow Bros score. Second edit: improved score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramses Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Snow Bros: 249,850 Lasso: 189,420 Does anyone know the name of the song that was used for the level background music (not the Mexican Hat Dance intro song) in Lasso? I want to say it's something from the early 1900s but I can't put my finger on it. It makes me think of Rhapsody in Blue for some reason.

AtariWarlord Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Lasso 46,860. *Facepalm* I just found out TODAY that you can fire at the dogs and the snakes and you can get 2,400 points offing the snakes to boot. That would have been important information for the game to provide, especially considering you have to go through the roping practice every single time you play the game. Score isn't a huge improvement but honestly the first high score was a bit of a fluke -- I've been averaging in the 20-30,000s ever since. EDIT: If I would have watched the game demo in full I would have discovered this earlier. Edited January 19, 2020 by AtariWarlord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariWarlord Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Snow Bros 274,620. This almost makes up for my ongoing frustrations with Lasso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youxia Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I was hoping to play some more and post screenshots eventually, but I had to hit the road unexpectedly last week and won't be able to. So either take my scr$-less scores from the first post itt or just count me out of this round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramses Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Snow Bros: 363,310 I think I ended up doing better with this game when I just focus on surviving. Trying to kill all enemies in one go for the big bonus just makes me dead. Edited January 20, 2020 by Ramses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
