+DamonicFury Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Welcome to the third round of the 14th 5200 HSC season! Oils Well won a single vote. Play using the default setting. Emulation is fine, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records. There is no HSC record for this game, so someone will be setting one. The ROM can be found here: Round ends Sunday, February 21st, 2021 @9pm EST Standings: Mangia-Boy - 244,020 Cafeman - 209,470 Mr Trust - 96,800 roadrunner - 25,330 rubeon - 18,140 bemis - 9,820 jblenkle - 5,210 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/316910-5200-hsc-season-14-round-3-oils-well/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Make sure you use oil_fixed_3.bin and not the earlier /other attempts! Okay, this is the first I ever played Oils Well - it is a version of Anteater right? 18,840.

Yes, it certainly is. This was much less clear back in the day when Anteater was a fairly obscure arcade game.

I've never worked in the extractive industries, but I can't help but feel this is not how they work. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/316910-5200-hsc-season-14-round-3-oils-well/#findComment-4747852 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 45,290. I felt like I knew what I was doing in this one. There are some no-win situations where the bomb is very close to a creature at the top tunnel. There's no way to avoid both of them.
