Rick Dangerous Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 4,737 This game is hard! Partially because of the pieces you get but also because the control feels slightly more limited than Gameboy Tetris. Tetris is always fun though, good stuff! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 D’oh! I thought I had it but it looks like I don’t @Rick Dangerous it looks like my points from last round didn’t get added to the totals… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 I re-checked and it looks right to me. You got one point for Missile Command, six points for your Centipede score, total of seven points which is reflected currently in standings. What am I missing?

+jgkspsx Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Whoops, sorry, I misread it as 2. Too much staring at 2600 Asteroids I guess! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jeremiahjt Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I am out of this round as I do not have T-Tris. Hopefully Battlezone 2000 is next as I have been wanting to play that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 @jeremiahjt I think the rom is pretty easy to find and this game has not been updated; you should take a look and get in on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Dangerous Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 9,344 So basically the strategy is...get as many big point combos as you can before you hit level 9 and are toast. I'm slowly getting in the flow with this version of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I got up to 7684 before I had to stop to eat dinner. We’ll see it the batteries last long enough for me to finish the game. Level 1 might be a liiiiittle bit slow to start on in the future ? EDIT: They did! I find the Lynx’s reputation as a battery killer to be a little overstated. Game 1 results: 9413 Level 9 really is unplayable. I couldn’t even move an I block over to the edge of the screen in time despite getting two and having a very clear screen. I do find the sound effects from Windows and Ahnold and Star Trek TOS and Bastian’s daughter (?) to be very charming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Of course my batteries were going to give out halfway through a game after I said that, lol. The way pieces get stuck on the edges of the screen when they should have room to rotate feels inconsistent. It can be very frustrating. Here’s an interview with Bastian Schick from not so long ago: https://www.arcadeattack.co.uk/bastian-schick-jaguar-homebrew/ Was this the first Lynx homebrew game? Or Harry Dodgson’s Othello? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
