+SpiceWare Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I'm back! My Atari's finally set up again now that the repairs from Ike are done and my new office furniture is in place. 1535 I probably won't get too many games in for a while as I still have more work to do on my study. I set up the computers and laser printer first, then the "game center" which contains my Atari, Sega Nomad, VIC 20 and Amiga CD 32. They're all hooked up to my C= 1084S via an S-Video switch box. Everything else that belongs in my study is still in boxes or piles in various places around my house. You can see a few of the boxes by the game center.

vdub_bobby Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Just as a note about AVox+Kroko Cart: the combination should work; I can't think why it wouldn't. The only thing that *might* prevent it from working correctly is if you use the KC as a multicart, I can't remember exactly how all the code works. But if you use it as a single cart it should work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymailman Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) I became the biggest fish there is! I'll post a pic later. Figured out most of the scoring though. Level 1: tiny white fish 1 point advance at 5 points Level 2: tiny green fish 2 points advance at 19 points Octopus Appears Level 3: tiny yellow fish 4 points advance at 55 points Level 4: tiny red fish 7 points advance at 132 points Level 5: small yellow-green fish 10 points advance at 262 points Eel replaces Octopus Level 6: black fish 15 points advance at 487 points Level 7: white fish 20 points advance at 827 points fish an enemies can move faster; sometimes Level 8: brown fish 25 points advance at 1302 points Level 9: big pink fish 35 points advance at 2037 points Shark replaces Eel Level 10: big green fish 45 points advance at 3070-3073 points Level 11: big grey fish 55 points advance at 4445-4449 points Level 12: large red fish 65 points advance at 6200-6206 points Level 13: huge red fish 80 points no more advancement ALL enemies are present! As I play more games I can zero-in on the advancement scores. It is hard as there are no 1-point fish that appear anymore so it is trial and error by finding the low-end where the fish stays the same size and the high end where the fish gets bigger.

Ze_ro Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 Sorry about the lack of updates lately. I've been trying to get a better handle on things and update at least a few times a week, but my timing never seems to work out right. Anyways, I took the time to scan the manual. Enjoy! --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroko Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) The only thing that *might* prevent it from working correctly is if you use the KC as a multicart Even when used as a multicart, there is (almost) no difference to the original cart, once you have selected the game with the menu. The only difference is the 2600's RAM content at startup. It will not be random. But apart from that, everything should be absolutely identical to the original cart.

Deteacher Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 4,498. The trouble is trying to figure out what the size edible fish is when you start getting so big. That's what got me. I tried measuring myself next to the fish I was going for...thinking I was the same size, I went for it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 9,999. The score freezes at 9,999 but you get to keep playing. I just hung out in the seaweed and waited for a fish to come by. Once the score stopped, I just floated to the middle and patiently awaited my ultimate demise (which didn't take too long.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the score stopped, I just floated to the middle and patiently awaited my ultimate demise (which didn't take too long.) Awesome teach! I should be able to get to it later today. I was able to zero in a little better on the advancement table (my previous post will be edited with the updated values). My score so far is: 8,141 As I repeatly play this game it is very fun, but there is one aspect that detracts from it; the seaweed safehaven. It seems if a player is patient then you can just cherry pick your way to as many points as you want. Hang out in the seaweed and grab an etible fish near the bottom then back to the seaweed. If a GoFish 2 were ever made I would keep virtually everything the same but add an enemy that roams the ocean depths. Maybe a crab that pinches you, or something. Then instead of the game being just fun, it would be fun and challenging IMO. The only other change I would make is the way a "3" versus and "8" is displayed. It is very hard to tell them apart as they only differ by a single pixel. For the "8" it would be better to have the left side filled with a straight line.

vdub_bobby Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 My best this week: 1443 I generally just don't have the patience to play this well. As I repeatly play this game it is very fun, but there is one aspect that detracts from it; the seaweed safehaven. It seems if a player is patient then you can just cherry pick your way to as many points as you want. Hang out in the seaweed and grab an etible fish near the bottom then back to the seaweed. If a GoFish 2 were ever made I would keep virtually everything the same but add an enemy that roams the ocean depths. Maybe a crab that pinches you, or something. Then instead of the game being just fun, it would be fun and challenging IMO. I tried to mitigate this somewhat by preventing fish from coming out in the bottom row while you are in the seaweed. But I wanted to keep a safe spot, partly to compensate for the lack of pause. Nice Job! Now let's see how many points you can score in Go Fish! Extended. I still have two copies of Go Fish! Extended sitting on a shelf... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymailman Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I spoke too soon about attaining 9,999 *bites tounge*. Hasn't happened yet, but a little closer. 8,799 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does your fish ever grow up to full size (where it would be able to eat all other fishes, except for sharks)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, once you are "full size" you can eat anything on the screen, except sharks, electric eels and jellyfish (they all make an appearance once you're full size.)

toymailman Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 So does your fish ever grow up to full size (where it would be able to eat all other fishes, except for sharks)? That would be Level 13 in my post above. Once you are the size of the biggest fish (Huge Red, as I called it) then there is no more advancement.
