Dan Iacovelli Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I saw the rankings this moring I went from 13 to 18 man I have to catch up(I'm prob lower now though). it is very hard to to play it on an emulator(esp when you keep pressing the button on the mouse at wrong time). The best way to get a score is to rack up big on your first life(I did that a couple times but blew it on the rest of my lives ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Iacovelli Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 New score just got it today: 652 (racked up 200+ on the first life) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 Jinkies! I just managed to rake up a score of 10,326! Man, I can't believe I rolled the score when only last week I would have considered 2000 points "pretty good"... Looks like some of you have also been quite busy, but at least that should land me in the top 10. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Here is my best so far. I don't see myself getting much better. If you can't read the picture it is 2507 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobafett07728 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Here's today's score. A bigger improvement over yesterday. I hope to hit 10K before the contest is over. I hope next week is a cart that I have, although I want to pick up a Circus Atari now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

video game addict Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Up to 4144! Not even close to rolling the score yet. I think I can do alot better, I get distracted to easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedijeff Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 I have a couple hints that I hope will help those players who are struggling to get a higher score. First, making contact is a lot more important than hitting the end of the seesaw. Second, if the clowns are bouncing straight up and down on the right side of the screen try flipping the seesaw each time the left clown is in the air. This will move you closer to the center and you won't have to worry about judging the angle of a bounce off the wall. Third, keep distractions to a minimum. Background noise is ok until something catches your ear and the clown goes splat. And last but not least, take a few seconds for a breather before you start another run on a new life. There's no rush, so take a drink, flex your fingers, scratch your ear, etc. And of course, have fun! Hope that helps. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to keep them bouncing in the middle of the screen instaid of on the sides. I am still not getting spectacular scores, but I have a feeling I will get a little better by the end of the week.

Kuddy Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 New score: 15961 (the rollover doesn't show in the screenshot, obviously). Along with the usual task of keeping my acrobats from hitting the ground, I had to battle with evil stomach cramp and itch demons along the way. It paid off. Good luck topping this one.

Lauren Tyler Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Are we allowed to use emulators? I'm only asking because, unfortunately, my paddles don't work. At any rate, I'll take my best shot soon. On that note, I might add that the deadline also happens to be my 24th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HermChase Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Finally got the rollover! Now, if I could only get more than 200 points on my second life...EVER!!! Hint: DON'T leave AIM open while playing. I forgot I did, but that "Buddy Sign Off" door close sound reminded me as I lost my fourth life. Anyway, my new score...11966!! -------- Chase Hermsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Iacovelli Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 are you using an emulator? I had to turn off my yahoo IM when I play because I have the alret on for mail and it cuts off the emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HermChase Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Yes, I'm on an emulator, and I forgot to check the little "Mute application sounds while Away!" on my away message. It made me jump for just a quarter of a second, and I lost concentration... Oh well, gives me incentive to try again! ------------ Chase Hermsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Just reached 17,924 Over 10K of it was on my 2nd life so now I can say I flipped it with one life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadtower Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 616 so far, and the knowledge that my mouse is not suitable for circus atari. I must whip out an actual console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedijeff Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Well, my score isn't quite as high as some others, but I'll blame my last death on the phone ringing over and over. Dammit Rick, not right now! Anyway, I did manage to get 15,526. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Slocum Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Well I'm quitting on my fourth life because I've been playing WAY too long, but I'm up to 35,741. Granted I used to be a big Circus Atari fan. I used to always quit after I rolled it once! -paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
