Pitfall Harry Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Hi atari dudes! I'm still alive... sort of. I racked up a score of 745,160 pts on Sequest last week. How's that? Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 That is a good score, you should probly try going for the MAX score of 999,999. The title is held by both D.Yancey and T.Rogers on the Twin Galaxies Scoreboard. That is still better than my score, mine on easy is 200,750. I am sure I can do better but I haven't played that game in a while, maybe I will throw it in right now and see what I can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitfall Harry Posted January 17, 2004 Author Share Posted January 17, 2004 That is a good score, you should probly try going for the MAX score of 999,999. Oh, I have tried and tried, but it looks like my top score is the best I can do. I played way over my head, shattering my previous high score of 645,000. That is still better than my score, mine on easy is 200,750. I am sure I can do better but I haven't played that game in a while, maybe I will throw it in right now and see what I can do. Good luck!

Fretwobbler Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Thats a crazy score!! In fact, that score probably explains your absence, youve been shooting subs for the past 3 months Thats well over double my high score of 296000.

StanJr Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 yeah, blows my measly 200K+ away as well. Good work Ben! Nice to see you again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Hey, where is the parade? Are you people all on dates or sleeping? Wake up! Pitfall Harry is back. There was weeping and gnashing of teeth when he left, so I want to see some of you piddle your pants or dry hump his leg or something. Let's go people!

Gateway Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Welcome back! Hope everything is well with you. I haven't played Seaquest in a while( too busy with school, etc. ), but my high score was nowhere near your score! Good Job! Just holler if you need any updatrs on what's been going on here in your absense. Peace, Weston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitfall Harry Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 Sort of... I don't have a computer now, so I won't be able to post regularly for awhile. I'll check in from time to time, as opportunity arises. Peace to all, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I'm still alive... sort of. I racked up a score of 745,160 pts on Sequest last week. How's that? Sounds pretty alive to me! I don't have a computer now, so I won't be able to post regularly for awhile. I'll check in from time to time, as opportunity arises. Nice trick, posting without a computer. Did you score the 745,160 without a 2600? Seriously, nice to have you back, even briefly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Yancey Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Super score! Great to hear from you again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobafett07728 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 My score is on the 200k range. I haven't played it in a while, so I am unsure of the exact score. That is an impressive score indeed! I'll be slapping my Seaquest in my VCS tonight, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 My score is certainly not as high, but I am proud that I got as far as I did. Seaquest is highly addicting and I kept playing again and again just to see how high of a score I could get. I'm not satisfied enough with my current score so I will be playing more often.

Pitfall Harry Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 Well, I was wrong. I played a little bit more and bumped up my Seaquest hi score to 755K. So maybe I will keep on going for the million mark. Yeah, tecnhically I do have a computer, the Atari 2600. But connecting it to the internet is a real bear.

Good luck with the 1 million mark. I tried this game last night and barely broke 200K. I think I need a little more practice than one game every now and then. I'll be pluggin' it in again tonight. . . looking to at least eclipse 300K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 The really annoying thing about this game is the shark(or whale) at the top of the screen where you leave the waters. When you max out the number of people rescued and go to the top, you need to place the sub where it won't be hit by that annoying character while refueling. That's one thing that I've learned to do in order to get a score as high as I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobafett07728 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I also try not to surface on the extreme left or right. In the earlier rounds this is not an issue, but in the later rounds it is tough to avoid the enemies when the stage first begins. I try to surface in the middle, but the enemy sub thwarts this a great many times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitfall Harry Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 Try surfacing right behind the enemy sub (that's right, it's a sub, not a whale). Surfacing right behind it gives you the maximum time before it wraps around the screen and Wups you. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Ok, it's a sub. Pardon me. I usually surface at the left if it is on the far right. If it's heading towards the left, I surface in the middle. I can usually do well and avoid the sub this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Yancey Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Ok, it's a sub. Pardon me. I usually surface at the left if it is on the far right. If it's heading towards the left, I surface in the middle. I can usually do well and avoid the sub this way. This technique GREATLY helped me with the above problem: If you only put the very tip-top of your sub above the water line, your oxygen does not deplete, you will not be hit by the oncoming top row of enemies, and it does not count as surfacing. You can use this even when you have rescued zero divers! When you get six divers, you can wait in this position for the sub to pass and then surface directly behind it. This will help you conserve O2 when there are no divers present and increases your bonuses also. Now, lets see some high scores!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
