Jasonhrb Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Paddle weeks are always my least favourite part of HSC, due to the problem of trying to play via emulation using a mouse. If I could get retro USB paddles in the way I have a joystick that recreates the feel of an 80s joystick, it would be so much better. As for the games themselves, I really like Night Driver. I love racing games, and this is pretty much the first game using the third person perspective. This version is challenging (but still fun). and I have played the slightly less hard versions more this week as a result of playing this in HSC. Encounter is a funny one. In isolation, eveything about it is rubbish. The graphics are poor, the sound very limited, and the game play repetitive. It even has the ulrimate gameplay fun killer of frustrating cheap deaths. This should be an awful game. . . . . .and yet it isn't. It's far from a classic, and I doubt I'll return to it after the week is out. BUt it's a fun game that I'd never tried, and I'm glad to be giviing this a try through HSC. Anyway, it's midnight here in London, and I'm tired. So that's enough from me, here are some scores 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keir Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Getting a late start this week. I haven’t actually played a paddle game in years. Here’s hoping that these babies still work! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Doesn’t change my bonus, but my pb on Night Driver increased. I tried to focus on the middle or top of the screen to anticipate the turns. Hurt my eyes, but felt more in control...?

I tried to focus on the middle or top of the screen to anticipate the turns. Something I figured out with Night Driver is the road is the same sequence of 3 or 4 turns that repeat. Recognizing this pattern really helps to anticipate the next move. Even after knowing the path, I think there are a couple turns in each lap where crashing is inevitable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheActivisionary Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Tougher it out with some arrow keys on Stella this week hence the rough scores, think I could’ve done better with some paddles. Fun games though. Encounter at L-5: 622 Night Driver: 20 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Encounter: 1893 It would be more fun if you got a tiny bit of invincibility after respawning. All of my best runs involved losing many carefully hoarded lives in quick succession. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
