Winter Wally Level 5 1040

Looks like you're going to wear the Winter Wally Crown as I keep failling off / through the edge of the moving platform on screen 3!

 

Improved on RRCW, like the colour changes, could make more use of them earlier, didn't like the sign on B20. Still takes a long time to play if you are getting the points but might have another bash before the round is out.

106,340 (35)

Hello!  I know I'm *really* late to the HSC17 party but here I am anyway.

 

I  'loved' Winter Wally.  First I was determined to get through the first cavern.  Once I could do that fairly consistently I told myself I'd quit if I could ever get to Cavern 3. My high score to that point was 360.  My last game I managed to get to Cavern 7 or 8 (I guess I can say it gets easier for a second?) and decided 1670 was good enough.

 

RRCW I only played the once.  Fun mod but I played on an 8bitdo through an emulator - think I miss my real Atari joystick for that one.

 

EDIT: Oh yeah, I tried the text adventure too but when I entered the cave the text was all scrambly and my interest was already pretty low so I just quit.  No score that I could see but I did pick up some logs and a witch's hat :)

Welcome Back :thumbsup: there's only about 10 locations in the adventure so you wont need much more to complete it! We'll wrap this up (!!) and start the new season prep later today folks ;)

Cold Winter RR crashed on my Altirra emu
Winter Wally 210
A Spell of Xmas - not getting very far in this one.
I almost never play text adventure games.
 

Well this is a good one to start with as you can easily complete it, have a couple more goes, there's only a couple of rooms and nothing much to do!

 

OK that's it final tables coming right up...

I just realised that I forgot to post a picture of the end scene for River Raid. Worth getting to the end for. The run between the last two bridges is full of helicopters if I remember correctly. Definitely worth going back and trying to complete it as it's only 40 bridges

 

Thanks McKong, I will have to have another crack at the ice soon :thumbsup:
