+jgkspsx Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 2023 HSC rules This round we play Checkered Flag's long and curvy Farmington track and the simple yet maddening Crate Challenge from the 2022 Millennial Games Lynx Jam! Round Over: Saturday July 1 (full points), Sunday October 1st (rank points only) 2023 12:01am US Pacific Checkered Flag is relatively cheap and easy to find physically, available on Evercade, and really great! The last time we did a challenge for it was July 2021, and it's time we revisited it, with a curvy upstate NY track we haven't played before. We're also trying out a game from the 2022 Millennial Games Lynx Jam, recently released on a physical cart: Checkered Flag Manual / instructions / discussion: https://atariage.com/manual_html_page.php?SoftwareID=2374 Settings - single heat / drones - 0 / laps - 3 / course - Farmington HSC Record: None! Description: Take on the long curves of Farmington NY! It's just you against the track - who will come out on top? Bonus Challenge: Rank battle!

+jgkspsx Posted June 3, 2023 Author Share Posted June 3, 2023 Eek! I found a bug in my spreadsheet - the new player bonus points were being added to the regular game scores instead of overall scores. I am going to update the earlier months with corrected point totals and rankings. This means that this is the first month I actually made it to #1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) 48 for Crate Challenge Currently EDIT: Crate Challenge is pretty.....challenging! The lynx doesn't have a lot of lines of horizontal resolution to use and you can only sprint with a full soda meter. Love it though, so happy there is a "Downfall" type game on the Lynx.

+jgkspsx Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 This game lets you pick a female driver but the announcer still says “gentlemen”. Oh well, still pretty forward-thinking. First attempt: 2:43.83 with automatic transmission. I bet I can shave it down using manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share Posted June 13, 2023 You can make most of the turns without braking, mostly even without letting up on the accelerator, if you stick to the inside of the track. There are two curves where I do tend to come in too fast and have to tap the brakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
