+jgkspsx Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 2024 HSC rules 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 desert track full of tight turns we haven't played before. We're also trying out a game from the 2023 Lynx Jam, the fantastic shooter Dungeddon! Round Over: Saturday, June 1, 12:00am International Date Line West Checkered Flag Manual / instructions / discussion: https://atariage.com/manual_html_page.php?SoftwareID=2374 Settings - single heat / drones - 0 / laps - 3 / course - Black Canyon HSC Record: None! Description: Take on the tight turns of Black Canyon! It's just you against the track - who will come out on top? Medal thresholds: Platinum: fastest time Gold: under 3' Silver: under 3'15" Bronze: under 3'30" Scores: Dungeddon Manual / instructions / discussion: Download link: https://play-soft.itch.io/dungeddon (or buy it here) Settings: N/A HSC Record: First year!

+jgkspsx Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 I highly recommend using the 7 speed manual transmission for Checkered Flag, especially if you are new to it. Braking and taking your foot off the gas can be helpful too, but if you are struggling to get the rhythm of that, stick shift helps a lot. Dungeddon lets you fire a lot of projectiles; always be firing. Then it's just a matter of dodging projectiles. Remember you can move in two dimensions, not just one. @playsoft, we would love to have you join us! I know gold will be no challenge for you.

That was a nice surprise, thanks for choosing it as a HSC game. 19 hours ago, jgkspsx said: I know gold will be no challenge for you. I had not played it for ages, so with some trepidation I loaded it up. I carelessly lost 2 lives early on but in the end managed not to embarrass myself: I played a couple of games of Checkered Flag but that would be too embarrassing to post my times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 2'54.11". Not in @agradeneu's league but I am pretty happy with it so far. And that was with automatic transmission to see how it would go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
