Okay, I am just going to have to get the high score for this. How can there be no all time High Score????

[jeremiahjt]

This version seems pretty difficult. My best so far is 54,100. Just like playing 5200 Joust for the high score club, I think it is a pretty good conversion with a difficult Pterodactyl. The Pterodactyl took me out quick each time it showed up.

[Rick Dangerous]

44,600

 

Yep; its tough!

[+jgkspsx]

Just getting warmed up. 50350

 

 

EDIT: I put it down but was feeling cheesed off that I didn’t do better, so I picked it back up. 122050. That’s more like it.
 

 

Man, I love this version. “Fast Joust”. It’s probably my favorite version after the arcade.

 

 

The Lynx 2 d pad may be miserable for Battlezone 2000, but I think it’s perfect for this.

Joust - 10,750

While I’m kind of hoping to concentrate on the other HSCs where I suck at the games this weekend, I do believe my score is eminently beatable. I had six or seven lives going into the second pterodactyl wave and wasted most of them trying to knock off one of the pterodactyls. Knocking off two pterrys earlier in the game gave me false confidence. If I had focused on killing the buzzard riders, I could have moved on.

[jeremiahjt]

New score of 92,950. It will not change my place, but it is better.

[doctor_shred]

26,300

 

I didn't have the time to get stuck into this one.  Great port of a classic game though.

[Rick Dangerous]

Good round everyone; congrats to @jgkspsx on the win!  Next round will be up today.  Cheers!

[+jgkspsx]

Pssst @Rick Dangerous 

 

[Rick Dangerous]

I guess i was wrong; added you; but you are second to @PFG 9000

[+jgkspsx]

Oh the humanity! I am relieved to hear that, though, as my score was much too low.

[PFG 9000]

Oh man...I really miss the Lynx High Score Competition.  I would love to be a part of this, but as it is I've barely had time to work on Asteroite and Horizon Forbidden West!  Someday I'll get back into the HSC. 

 

Nice score, +jgkspsx!
