The HSC was the first time I played it and it is great just I am not good at it yet. Thanks! Yeah, it's a great game! Just keep pushing it, and have a close eye on your shadow alltime, so you know your heigthlevel when you are engaging airplanes. The shadow is also nessesery to "line in" your aproach when bombing. Use the gun alot on tanks, but it only works when your heigths is 25 and under (when the bar is red) watch out for the gravety to drag you down under 20! A mounth ago i had a great score, but was shot and had a fuel leak in the last stage, i manage to get to the airport barely, and then it came sidewind and i crashed just beside the runway with no fuel left ?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Got most of the way through Level 8 of PoP before running out of time. I can't see me completing this one but I'll have another couple of tries 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 POP restarting back to level 1 is a pain, just left emulator on to grab a coffee and have to start over ? Still looking for the way on level 3... [edit] found it but falling off too many times to get to the gate in time POLL for next round is open, you know where to find it by now eh?

McKong Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) Made it to the end of level 9 on PoP but had missed the plate that opens the last gate so couldn't finish it Edited November 19, 2021 by McKong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKong Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Perhaps we could extend the round or leave it open for a while. Is anyone else going to play more PoP? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked it up again yesterday and was struggling with that level 3 jump before giving up. I might give it one more go but I, for one, am looking forward to the next round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I'm with 1337. Begin the next round. Perhaps have both open in parallel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I didnt think I was going to get on with PoP but after 3 or 4 sessions, and two changes of controller, I started to make fewer mistakes with the controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevymad Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I've been waiting this entire round for it to be over. Please move on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) I'll start up the next round then end things here but still post progress and more importantly some feedback for the authors Here's what I have for this round, will do scoring later in week but it's congratulations to McKong foir keeping deteacher from the win, reaching level 8 of POP I'm really liking POP, possibly too easy to fall off by jumping up instead of up and across (esp using keyboard in emulation, yes I know could use space bar) - could program a slight delay on the up to allow more time for the l/r to be found to improve that or make him teeter instead of falling off from the forward movement Thanks again to rensoupp and the team will review this game for the next Pro(c) Atari Magazine unless deteacher or McKong fancy doing this one?

Have looked at the spoilers video. I think this section is way too hard and will put almost everyone off playing/making progress. What do you think?

McKong Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Yeah that part is difficult, but theres more time than you think. You can climb under the gate at the end when its three quarters down. It took me quite a few tries to get it right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a case of pacing each bit out from the starting position 1 jump 1 step etc so you know what to do or just going for it and hoping you get lucky?

I didnt pace it out like that. I just got better at switching between running and jumping and vice versa. Starting on the far right, step to the very left of the first platform. Then you can start with two jumps in a row, after that it just running and jumping, not easy but with a bit of practice... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
