Jasonhrb Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Something for Gremlins. Nice improvement here from my main round score 😀 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kermit73 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Sky Jinks: 2:16.92 Gremlins: 264410 Improvements on both games. I've wondered if a custom joystick which wires the fire button backwards would work better for games like Sky Jinks (such that pressing the button applies the breaks rather than accelerates). Gremlins is a real endurance game. Once getting to 100k or so, I don't think the difficulty ramps up, but the game requires intense concentration and provides few breaks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMooCowz Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Vanguard: 105120 - solid run Sky Jinks: 2:18.97 - took a looooong time to finally get a no crash run, just to still be below the X currently Gremlins: 346090 - something clicked for me and had an amazing run 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonhrb Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) 7 hours ago, Vocelli said: After 1 week of play... All I can say is WOW! Incredible scores! Yes, some fantastic play all round. For context, my Gemlins score would have topped the charts in the main round, but given the way things are going there's no guarantee that it will be enough even for the top half in this tourney!. It seems the tourney is again doing it's thing of bringing out the best in all the players. Thanks to @Vocelli for designing the three strikes tourney for last season (a big improvement on the old format imho), and for refining it further this season so it works just right. And in that spirit, here's a score for Vanguard. I must admit that I was hoping this one wouldn't get picked as for some reason I really struggle with it. I've slightly improved my main round score, but this is already below the strike line. With limited time to play this week, I now have to make a choice between trying to improve this one enough to give myself a chance (which may well not be enough anyway!), or just "taking the strike" on this one and trying to improve on Gremlins. Anyway, that's enough from me, here's a (not good enough!) score: Edited January 30, 2023 by Jasonhrb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariSphinx Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Gremlins (1 B/B): 208,500 Sky Jinxs (4B/B): 2:16.79 Some improvements. Tough first round. The cut off line seems to require that we beat the top score of the regular season! Great scores everyone! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absalon Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I haven't played vanguard since week 1 and I feel I forgot about every strategy I used back then. It's a painfully slow ride relearning everything. Vanguard: 49030 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonhrb Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Sorry @Vocelli , but you seem to have credited my improved Vanguard score to @Jason_Atari by mistake (easily done ) . If you could correct that for me, that would be great, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
