atariksi Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Steeple Jack 184M interesting game... Your score was submitted in October and it's the November Bonus Round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 Steeple Jack 184M Your score was submitted in October and it's the November Bonus Round. That was the pre bonus round, didn't I mention the pre bonus round I'm going to make a start on these tonight! Nightmare's is an excellent intense shoot'er so am looking forward to that, plus Metor and Steeple jack are a couple of fun little games. If anyone posts feel free to put some comments about the game (it sucks, they all suck or even some positive comments ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 No they all suck, well Little Devil's controls do and the fact that you get zillions of points for collecting a giant B no not a bee Boy Nightmares is tough - no autofire folks am sure I beat the first stage once before... Monster Hunt is quite a nice platformer, jump under the floors to pop up bonuses like the Atari logo, you have to be slightly to the right of centre (no election pun intended!) to collect stuff. Drelbs is a real classic so had several goes on that one In Ghost! you need to steer the ghosts into the gap at the top of the screen, without them touching each other; on level 3 there are four ghosts! Here's some scores to get you motivated: Drelbs - 39,500 Monster Hunt - 294 Creep Show Pinball - 170,010 Nightmares - 2,425 Little Devil - 3,400 Meteor - 154 Gremlins - 3276 Ghost! - 4,650 Steeple Jack - 229m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I played all the games on the part 1 atr on Sunday night to see what is on there... got to say I'm not a fan so far! (I'll post scores later) Ghost... Kind of fun for the first few screens, then it gets BORING! Ghost Chaser, not as fun as some of the other Frank Cohen games (I'm looking at you Beer Belly Burt & Ollies Follies) Creep Show Pinball... YAWN (I'm spiled after playing the Jaguar HSC bonus round last week... Ruiner Pinball) Monster Smash... Again kind of fun for the first few minutes Drelbs... One of my favorites even if I'm not so good at it (this could have been a single game for the month) Meteor... Simple, yet strangely addictive. I kept saying "just one more go" <--- score on this one I remember 103, sucky for all the times I tried it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Yes Ghost Chaser's gonna take a bit of getting used to the darn movement again after all these years, I did beat it way back then. Suprisingly had fun playing Nightmare Manor, completed level 1. If you beat a level you can post a score for the next one(s) and I'll combine them. Some games are nice for a quick go, some are more involved, hopefully everyone will find a couple they like Steeple Jack 290m Nightmare Manor Lv1 6900 + Lv2 2160 Monster Smash 3,843 GhostChaser 4,350 Zador 1,160 Creep Show 282,070 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 OK I was wrong Little Devil is fun - you can use the edges of the first screen to avoid the nasties, they don't come in for the kill so be patient... managed to beat the first round of screens too. 44,500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 Zador 2,480 - scraped through to level 4. You can match up the various flowers and the sun, heart, bomb?! and mobile phone?! all go together too, if you hear a noise you gain valuable extra seconds... you need to be able to draw a U or Z shape between the two tiles to match them up... ask bluecat for help here Nightmare Manor completed level 2, 7,220 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Drelbs ( weird ) 8,750 I was hoping no-one would ask me how to explain Drelbs but here goes Make the squares, when you've done them all stay near one and move into it when it changes you are then onto the 2nd part. If you collect the hearts the bad guys get temporarily frozen and you can box them in. If you collect a diamond a window to the 2nd part opens. Occasionally dive into any window that has the lady trapped inside and you will get a bonus. On the 2nd part walk over all the Drelbs' shadows (I assume you are the Drelb!?) and avoid the bad guys and clear the screen to complete the level... now I'm going to read the proper instructions and see how I did Played Zador again - 3,640 Lv5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divya16 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Creepshow Pinball ( creepy ) 181,820 You need to enable artifacting otherwise those screens look terrible. I just played disk#1: Ghost Chaser: 1350, Ghost: 3010, Monster Smash 1944, and Creepshow in screenshot below. Can you put the joystick #1 meteor on disk #1 as I couldn't play that yet?

Here's my score for meteor. I guess this one does require some exact motion with joystick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 Okay, thanks. Here's my score for meteor. I guess this one does require some exact motion with joystick. Was that an analogue or digital joystick?! Don't answer that Ghost Chaser needs a few goes to master but then it all starts coming back, very nice game with a good layout - hints: remember to be careful on the tops of stairs or ladders, and can duck when half way up the stairs to avoid being hit. You can shoot the big ghost too! 7,850 Scores for Diz - Meteor 72 Steeple Jack 83m Scores for Col - Meteor 69 Steeple Jack 71m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
