Re: Phoenix scoring

Possibly Brian is talking about my 239K on the falcon clone, where indeed I DO get twice the "bonus"... but as I explain in the comment section of the INP: CURSED game. Got to 35K before getting the bonus, and then at over 250K I got unwillingly another. Could have been very close to 300K ...

Re: GEGOTW 2012 - GENERAL TOPIC

I would also like to thank Marco and all the players who took part in the contest; I would have loved to try a bit harder, but as it stands real life gets in the way quite a lot :D Maybe it has already been discussed and rejected - I don't know, but a tournament with just 5 games before the playoffs...

Re: GEGOTW 2012 - GAME 5: TIME PILOT

146000 - and that's it for me... I might get closer to 200k, but to really control this game I'd have to play it for a month at least.

Re: GEGOTW 2012 - GAME 5: TIME PILOT

143700, also uploaded @ MARP. It's better with a joystick, but my control over the ship sucks anyway :lol:

Re: GEGOTW 2012 - GAME 5: TIME PILOT

40400 - with a very lucky ship. I think I can't really play this game without a joystick.

Re: GEGOTW 2012 - GAME 5: TIME PILOT

Someone mentioned this being hard with a keyboard ? For a total newbie as myself it's impossible :(

29900 - first time I play the game ever.

Today I have painters in the house and will not be able to pull out the tankstick... I also have to check they don't destroy the house :?

Re: GEGOTW 2012 - GAME 4: FROGGER

Well... Spain deserved to win, but by just one goal - up until Italy played in 11 :) 2 goals in 3 shots is a bit on the lucky side, and Italy had their own shots, just somewhat less lucky. Then again, Spain could have done without scoring two more goals in the last 10 minutes with only 9 italian pla...

Re: GEGOTW 2012 - GAME 4: FROGGER

Sorry, I had a game with 114k and two more lives - and I killed them unnecessarily in the span of 1000 points. Embarrassing. But I found that I'm beginning to re-learn the game now :) still need to slow down a lot and be more patient instead. Not sure I'll have another go tomorrow though... we'll se...

Re: GEGOTW 2012 - GAME 4: FROGGER

Damn I didn't recall there were that many killscreen combinations ? I'll have to look at my replays (3rd game ended at 98k) to see if I'm imagining stuff or if it's real 8O

Re: GEGOTW 2012 - GAME 4: FROGGER

Good point. My 100k was played on 5+1, not that my last two lives added much to the score :lol:

So, is it 3+1 or 5+1 ?

Re: GEGOTW 2012 - GAME 3: ELEVATOR ACTION

OK, this is it for me - 35000, with last death due to a key combo that caused my fullscreen WolfMAME to redraw in a smaller window and without focus... I wouldn't have lasted long anyways.

Re: GEGOTW 2012 - GAME 3: ELEVATOR ACTION

Tiny improvement - I keep switching keys for fire/jump on my laptop but haven't found a combo that prevents me from pressing the wrong key :x
