Goochman Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Folks, This weeks game is Jumpman. We will be playing the 'Grand Loop' so all levels are open. YOu can play at any speed you like (for those that dont know you can press 1 - 9 to control how fast the game plays, 3 or 4 is usually the best). Contest ends Fri Midnight EDT - or 5am Sat GMT on this board Jumpman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 And so it begins... Whistles Jumpman opening theme and starts doing the jumpman dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooper Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Damn I hate this game!! I suck so bad at it, I've been spending several hours of this, my 30th birthday, playing this crappy game and all I got was 25800. Well I guess I won't be taking the prize on this one then Cheers!

Goochman Posted May 24, 2004 Author Share Posted May 24, 2004 Lol, I got my score on my first game - Im going play prob play speed 2, 3 is a bit to slow for me. For those that dont know you can press 1 - 9 prior to the start of each level to set the speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Lol, I got my score on my first game - Im going play prob play speed 2, 3 is a bit to slow for me. For those that dont know you can press 1 - 9 prior to the start of each level to set the speed. Yeah and for those who really don't know. The faster the speed, the more bonus points you will get when completing the board. The downside? The missiles fire faster, so beware. Dragons? I usually fire a little ahead to see where the arrow is gonna land, and then wait near a ladder. You can also jump over them. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted May 24, 2004 Author Share Posted May 24, 2004 Yeah I know - I forgot that you can jump up and also the vines on the sides - I accidently ran too far right and off the board - When you hit a dragon the ramps flatten out with each hit so its better to get over them than hit them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 27,675. I keep having trouble with the hail stones, but I think I got the hang of it. To many ways to get killed randomly in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I guess a picture would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 Agreed - I lost 3 men for some REALLY stupid reasons that I wont admit too - I made an incremental increase today to 33550 - I expect to beat this later so Ill post another pic then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 I keep dying on the level, "Look out Below" I have to put it on speed 7 for that level (when I usually use 2) and I still lose almost all my lives. My score right now is 18,800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Oh, and I was going to recommend these for next week. Tapper River Raid Lasergates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted May 26, 2004 Author Share Posted May 26, 2004 36650 - Damn Roost lvl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Well I've managed just a little bit better, 30400. So I still have quite a bit of way left to beat Goochman /Troop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted May 26, 2004 Author Share Posted May 26, 2004 Trooper - Im trying to figure out what levels you are playing - your original score of 25K got you to level 19 - My score of 36K I did not get to level 19 - more like level 17/18 - Are you playing the 'Grand Loop' or starting on the Immediate level? Or, What speed are you playing at? Just curious since the scores seem very far off - Im playing most of it at speed 2, but I dont think that can make a 10K bonus difference.

Trooper Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Yeah I'm playing the Grand Loop (heythat's what you stated in the rules and since I'm such a non-cheater... ) I guess it's just that I'm extremely slowwhen playing. I haven't changed the speed so I'm going with the "standard" speed when playing. /Troop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted May 26, 2004 Author Share Posted May 26, 2004 Ah, ok - didnt think you were cheating, but you were missing out on ALOT of points - You are on speed 3 and if you dont have patterns down I could see you losing alot of points on a variety of levels. Ive got the first 5 boards down pat on speed 2 - and a few others above that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Yeah I guess you're right but what can I do?? I suck so bad at this game.....funny thing is I voted for Tapper next week and I suck really bad at that too Now you're all thinking "WELL WHAT GAMES DON'T YOU SUCK AT?!?!?" Well, I was kind of good at Easter Front back in the day I didn't suck totally at Battalion Commander either...... kind of hard to have Highscore contests in those games though Cheers!

Goochman Posted May 26, 2004 Author Share Posted May 26, 2004 I like Eastern Front, Legionairee and Operation Whirlwind also - wonder if other folks would be interested in playing one ot these 1 week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devwebcl Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 I like Eastern Front, Legionairee and Operation Whirlwind also - wonder if other folks would be interested in playing one ot these 1 week? I agree with legionnaire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooper Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Well, it looks like I'm finally getting the hang of this game, 39650 latest score. Not that I think it'll be enough since y'all will probably come in with scores in the range 100K-150K /Troop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 Ack - finally got past the Roll Me Over level only to run into the 'Figure It' level - do this one wrong and youre toast! 38650 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
