Is it legal to jump through the opponent in mid-air?  If not, how are you going to police it?

 

 

[Crazy Climber]

I'll kick it off... 35,750

I mean there is no way to police any cheating really, its gotta just be honor system. Maybe require a video if Todd Rogers or Billy Mitchell joins up (Im kidding, I have met them both in person and they're great guys)

I feel that is part of game play.... so yeah, if you can time it right, go for it.

Have fun!

Q*Bert: 28,800 (I'm just warming up, mind you.)

 

Carnival: 38,810 (I only ran out of ammunition because I hit one of the penalty targets by mistake.)

Every time you post a score, I play where's Waldo with the backdrop. Special props this time to the Ms.Pacman and Tequila hats.

Q*bert game: 1A

First Score

[AtariSphinx]

Qbert (1 A/A): 59,300

 

One of my favorite games.  Good port but some implementations are not great.  The computer version is my favorite. 

[+McCallister]

44,775

 

Always liked this port. Qbert hops are less 'floaty' than in other versions.

[Deteacher]

50,575!  

[fakecortex]

We just finished playing this in the INTV HSC (love that version), and this is my first time with this port. For what it’s worth, it’s not too bad! Holding the controller tilted takes a little getting used to. And my up right move isn’t always the best, but otherwise, still having fun. 

 

Q*bert 1a - 41,625

Lol, here we go again, HAHAHAHA, but isn't the joystick just like the 'STICKLER' in a sense?  

[Rickster8]

My Q*bert and Carnival Update: I've had enough of Q*bert the last two weeks to last me a lifetime. Probably my least favorite game of all time. 🙄 I'm absolutely DREADFUL at it. I'm MUCH better at Carnival. 👍

 

Q*bert - Game 1 - A Difficulty - 23,550 POINTS!!!

Carnival - Game 1 - A Difficulty - 41,130 POINTS!!!

Q*Bert:  58,950!

Q*Bert:  71,325!

[+RaymanC]

Q*bert: 56,475

[Deteacher]

Carnival:  21,550!  How do you stop the targets from respawning?  I always shoot the pipes right away (the manual says to do that in order to stop them from respawning.)  Don't know how folks are getting such high scores.  I guess I need more practice.

[DrMooCowz]

Q*Bert: 50325

Carnival: Rollage. Right after the S Kitchen appears, the score starts back over at 0.

 

That was my 2nd game of Carnival and I didn't really find it that difficult? I focused on the pipes and saved the [ 8 ] things for when they have more value to add to the bar at the bottom. I guess I just don't miss much either? I'm a little surprised I killed this so easily after reading others' comments here.

 

[Tituzzz]

Nice Game But it’s not easy for me. I try my best. Here‘s my first Score

[jeremiahjt]

First score on Q*bert of 39,050.

[+jgkspsx]

Q*Bert: Start at 34:50, final score 24350 @ 39:12

 

 

Carnival: Start at 5:36, final score 3080 * 7:04

(Note: I didn't remember Stella didn't save difficulty switches, so my first few games of Q*Bert were on difficulty B.)
