Rick Dangerous Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I'd like to make a list so we don't waste time "trying" certain games over and over again in the future when they are suggested. Games might include: -Games that take waaaay too long to play to conclusion/scoring -Games that have no score, time, or clear way to show improvement, measure performance -Games that are just not a good fit for whatever objective reason as it relates to the structure of HSCs. Would love to have input from folks on this one and I'll keep the list updated! Thanks for any help, input, and play-testing on this one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Also, think about what could save an untenable game from oblivion. A time limit? Playing one level? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I heard Dino Dudes score just flickers before going to title screen. If it shows for even a frame I could record the game as I go (or people could video it as it is wrapping up) and grab the score that way. Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure needs to be hacked so that it has an extra decimal point for the score board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Hi tripled79 I'm going to go with your question being about Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure. The score only goes to 999,999 which in the past with as high as we were scoring topped out, leaving us no clear winner. But, in all honesty the games were played differently in earlier days of the Jaguar High Score Club. You could win by any means neccessary, and sometimes the higher score was attained through shear patience and repetition. So Pitfall might not be AS big a deal these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted October 12, 2023 Author Share Posted October 12, 2023 Since you bring up RR, probably Myst as well, that's not scored right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
