Northcoastgamer Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 Hard to believe that we never have played Skill 1 for Smurf, but I checked through the Game Index and it is so. Added another day for this one, scores will be accepted until next Tuesday evening December 6th. Best of luck guys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a heads-up, as I could be mistaken: but if I remember correctly, skill 1 has no birds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might be right. It's a heck of a lot easier, that's for sure. About to sit down to a game myself... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) I just spent way too long on skill 1 😤 I was gonna say I’m fine with a different difficulty, but wish I didn’t spend the last 45 min running a Smurf 5k hahaha. Anyway, I got 334,800 on skill 1. Made my first “mistake” at 166,700, then my system started glitching at 263,000 (my CV isn’t very reliable). I’ve been using an Atari joystick, as my regular controllers are even less reliable. Depending on how it holds up, and how frustrated I get with the birds, I may switch to emu. The glitches did make it more challenging, as my smurf kept disappearing and I had to sense when it was time to jump. Welp, I guess I’ll give it a quick go on skill 2...

fakecortex Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Well, what a big difference some birds, bats, and spiders make. At least it wasn’t as boring. I don’t think I have it in me to beat Dugger’s high but here’s what I have. I liked the number, so taking a break for now Smurf, smurf #smurf (skill 2) - 44,400 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuggerVideoGames Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Skill 2: 102,800 pts. I'll set the bar at about 100k. If you all beat that score and knock me out, then you knock me out. You know what to aim for and you have plenty of time to practice. May the smurfing odds ever be in your mothersmurfing favor! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m finding it hard to predict some birds and all bats. Nothing new here really. Took me a bit to get close my previous score. I’m not done with this one, but I might be done voting for it hahaha.

zaphro72 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 61,100 man I am rusty. Keep accidentally trying to single jump the two level hills by accident. I know you can do it if its timed right but I know my timing isn’t there right now haha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 New personal best! Lost my last three lives back to back to back, just shy of a nice 60k, which sucked, but I liked breaking 50 Smurfing bats - 59,700 game was glitchier at times. Maybe that’s my preferred setting? Haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Oh man! It’s the race for 4th place aka who will make it past the 4th loop?! Had to post this right away bc I just barely squeezed out a few extra hundred points to surpass @Colecovision. This round is like smurf camping: in-smurfing-tents. What’s up with that huge skull anyway? - 63,100 I mean, it’s not a smurf’s (which would’ve been brutal of Gargamel), and it’s bigger than a human’s? Maybe not...it’s as tall as a smurf, so...are human heads three apples high? Someone fetch my apple sized ruler. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuggerVideoGames Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Friendly tip: if you don't like the way a screen looks, go back and then return. The reloaded screen will most likely look a bit different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
