the 5th ghost Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Well, originally I figured everyone would play against the computer... but does it actually make it any harder or easier in this case? You guys obviously have more experience with this one than I do. I did say Player vs. Computer in the game settings... Excellent score there 5th ghost! You never cease to amaze me And on a third note, anyone have any good suggestions for next week's game? --Zero With the difficulty set on A/A, the computer's game ends once it misses 6 times. This will happen about midway through the 1st canyon, so after that you have to clear everything yourself. As a consequence, that means you will get a higher score faster, but have to be more accurate. On difficulty B/B, the computer keeps shooting, regardless if it misses or not. It's shot meter goes down with every miss you make, so once you miss 6 times, the game ends. Now this way, the computer will rack up a higher score because it is constantly dropping bombs, meaning you will score less points in each canyon. Sometimes the computer helps, sometimes it hurts you. That said, I got my score of 2,447 on Dif A/A making it to just the 4th canyon. I had to clear 9 canyons on Dif B/B to get 3,033! So, it's a toss up as to which setting is tougher. Both have their pros and cons. I'd suggest Q-Bert's Qubes Dif B/B (expert)...awesome game! I don't know how it translates on the emulator though, which may be how most people would have to play it since it is a rare game. Thanks Ze_ro!

vdub_bobby Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) I don't think Pitfall II has been HSCed yet, has it? That's my suggestion. EDIT: Or Montezuma's Revenge. Edited March 20, 2006 by vdub_bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vdub_bobby Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I think you are still playing on the wrong difficulty settings, RH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the 5th ghost Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I think you are still playing on the wrong difficulty settings, RH. Yes, he is. Both difficulty switches need to be set to A. As for me, I did play this game on A/A... 3,071 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the 5th ghost Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Tips: 1) Make the sides your 1st priority. Clear the canyon from the outside in. This way, when you are near finishing it, you will leave yourself an opportunity to hit the bricks in the middle, regardless of which side the plane comes out or how fast. Resist the temptation to drop bombs in the middle of the canyon, you'll get your chance in the end. 2) Look to see where the bomb exits each different plane. This will help you time your shots just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercat Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Well, originally I figured everyone would play against the computer... but does it actually make it any harder or easier in this case? You guys obviously have more experience with this one than I do. I did say Player vs. Computer in the game settings... Can't see how the computer would make things easier. Getting the last few bricks is hard; if there were no computer player, one would get a lot more points before it was necessary to get them. 401 is my best so far.

Rom Hunter Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Argh! I indeed played the game with one difficulty switch on A and one difficulty switch on B. Does this make the game more difficult to play? Say 'yes', please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 Well, that depends which switch was which I think... I think one switch is for player one and the other for player two... I'm also not sure if the computer player abides by the settings... Anyways, that's the end of this week's edition of the High Score Club. Congratulations to everyone on their scores, and I hope you'll all join us again for next week's game! --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Zero, my high-score was 1330, not 1457. The computer was constantly dropping bombs (difficulty switch on B) and I dropped one bomb at a time (difficulty switch on A). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
