YES!!!! unless it was the only way someone could play (bad hands etc)... that's why I like the Quickshot Python so I can use thumb button for a bit of respite from the trigger, can also use index or middle finger on the trigger.

Fair enough, thanks! That's a good idea about using a stick with a trigger and a thumb button - I'll see if I can dig one of those out. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/306628-hsc17-round-9-gyruss-block-on-legsfirst-steps/page/3/#findComment-4542611 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressing start just bounced me between the high score and title screens I could only test it on the real hardware and altirra - if there are any options to leave the disk mounted and r/w see if you can try them for me please. It loads each level, titlescreen pics, hsc scores in as it goes.

carlsson Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 FWIW, the ATR works fine on my 130XE with SIO2SD.

RedThunder Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I better put a score in. Quite feeble attempts. Gyruss 32,800 BOL 194 Might try and get a game in later. But it looks like table propping this round ? And I missed the vote.... for the record I would of went for the Goonies. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/306628-hsc17-round-9-gyruss-block-on-legsfirst-steps/page/3/#findComment-4544734 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level 8 may take some doing too - hint try double grow pills stand with head in platform above and jump opposite way to bounce across to next platforms - there's also a jump near the right of the playfield to get up to a pill. Thanks for playing BOL guys, I hope you are seeing some improvements as you work out the jumping and master the space awareness / dynamics.

+therealbountybob Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Just WOW RT, Just WOW. Had an idea we could add some quotes I liked the one on atarionline.pl "There is no game like this", we could add some of the bad ones too and make a poster (and by me I mean you! perhaps combine them to your work above...) Had a couple of Gyruss attempts including interrupting a family facetime to announce "I've just landed on Uranus" and then a pause to ask which Atari game I was playing, don't think they knew anything but it amused me... then I sat on an urn or maybe ern (!) BOL just played some of the later levels, completed level 12 but 11 and 13 were just too tricky with this sticks not 100% button, what's that you say "it's always the joystick trbb" Damn Right it is So by now you should all know: OK WE HAVE A NEW Round 10 Poll and this round is extended until Tuesday 26th 4pm UK time Hope everyone is ok 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/306628-hsc17-round-9-gyruss-block-on-legsfirst-steps/page/3/#findComment-4545283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
