Ed Siegler Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I just noticed something. Here's his info about the game Star Fire and how he got a patch for getting over 3500 points in the game... 2 Mike Stagney 3631 08/17/2003 Now tell me this. How is it that a guy can obtain a score like that on Star Fire, but cannot score higher than a 9 on Circus Atari??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Siegler Posted October 27, 2003 Author Share Posted October 27, 2003 Man, I have no idea. How 'bout it Mr. 9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Some people are better at joystick games than paddle games. That's the obvious answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 How? Very simply: Jittery paddles. You would think that a perveyor of fine 2600 equipment would have brought some non-jittery paddles to the Austin Gaming Expo. Remember that I did score only 9 points on my first game. Despite repeated efforts, I was unable to obtain this low score again. Also interesting that you bring up the Star Fire patch. http://www.atariage.com/2600/archives/Star...dron/index.html I see a certain name missing from the page.

Room 34 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I have scored 5 on Circus Atari before... I tried to get less but it was impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few QTips, a little alcohol, and one of these should do the trick for ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one pair of paddles that sucked, I'll give you that. But there was one set of good paddles and that's what you got the 9 on. Admit it pal. I don't know what you're admitting to, but just admit it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Yes, I admit it. I got a 9 on Circus Atari. Ed can also kick my ass at Kaboom. But as far as paddle games go, no one can come close to me in Marble Craze. (Except for Paul Slocum of course. I'm glad we didn't have a Marble Craze deathmatch at AGE. I bow to the master there.) Anyway, here's a picture of me in Austin playing Starfire. Ed's trying to pick up some pointers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite repeated efforts, I was unable to obtain this low score again. I was there and witnessed it. There were three others of us playing on the same set of paddles, and no one had a score quite like that 9. Anyway, here's a picture of me in Austin playing Starfire. Ed's trying to pick up some pointers. Looks to me like he's in shock at how bad you were playing, and was about to report you on his cel phone to someone for your playing. Probably was alerting people to expect a new score for Circus Atari! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Are my eyes going bad Big player, or do I see a copy of Beat'em & Eat'em sitting on top of those carts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Siegler Posted October 28, 2003 Author Share Posted October 28, 2003 do I see a copy of Beat'em & Eat'em sitting on top of those carts? Actually, your eyes are quite fine. I found a copy of that for $25 in one of the bins at Austin. BP was afraid to play that one to for fear of loosing badly, as that was his way all weekend. ...sorry pal...

Ed also proved to be great at Lost Luggage that weekend. Not the 2600 game. The real thing. I would like to add that at no time did I participate in any loosing activities while in Austin.

tiggerthehun Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Big Player has always had a fear of clowns. Perhaps it stems back to the time when he went to the circus, and a clown killed his father... BTW, I can vouch for the fact that, this man, given a proper paddle controller (i.e. the one on Warlords), can kick all forms of ass...

MegaManFan Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Aww, I shouldn't have joked about the old sig Tig, now I miss it! Proper paddles prevent piss poor performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Siegler Posted October 29, 2003 Author Share Posted October 29, 2003 Well, I just ordered new pots for two pair of paddles. Let's see what excuse Mike will come up with next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 That's probably the only game I didn't lose at while in Austin.. .. because I couldn't make it and had to drive back in the morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't you go bowling with us one night? I sure did. I stand corrected on the loosing activities. There's probably more loosing that I forgot about too. I'm up for a bowling run after PC5. A warning to you Ed. In Austin I was know as a bowling hustler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I'll bowl, but I promise you, I'm much better at it in Super Monkey Ball 2 and even there I can barely crack 100. My wife on the other hand owns her own ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
