+DamonicFury Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Welcome to the sixth round of this 5200 HSC season! Qix was tied with Satan’s Hollow with two votes each, and Qix won the resulting coin toss. Play using the default settings. Emulation is fine, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records. The current record was set by darthkur with 477,241 points. Bust it if you can for a bonus point. (Good luck!!!) The ROM can be found here: https://atariage.com/software_page.php?SoftwareLabelID=652 Round ends Sunday, April 5th, 2020 @9pm EST Standings: Cafeman - 250,956 rubeon - 140,291 Mangia-Boy - 134,581 patroclus99 - 133,706 jblenkle - 94,471 roadrunner - 85,184 troff - 51,125 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/304240-5200-hsc-season-13-round-6-qix/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangia-Boy Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 It's always the same with this game. I have a score in the range of 100K, but then I cannot improve. Maybe wrong strategy?

Here’s some tips from my absolute favorite book on classic games - Craig Kubey’s The Winner’s Book of Video Games (1982) Also, don’t forget that when you split two Qix, your score doubles for the next wave! Do it again, and scores are tripled... and you can keep doing this!!! 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/304240-5200-hsc-season-13-round-6-qix/#findComment-4490967 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubeon Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 140,291 Got greedy with the bonuses, which eventually cost me! I showed this game to my wife while I was playing, and she was completely fascinated by it. She kept saying she had never seen anything like it, but was too intimidated by the mighty CX52 to give it a go Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/304240-5200-hsc-season-13-round-6-qix/#findComment-4500217 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangia-Boy Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I can't remember a video game where I have to worry so much about myself. But great game concept nevertheless.
