Do you prefer that we edit our posts with new scores?

If you see me posting that the table has been updated (like now!) then try not to edit any previous posts as I might miss them. Otherwise edit them as you wish; I'm sure people will shout if I've missed their scores out (might miss a few of deteachers later on )

TRBB, you didnt put my new scores in... probly would help if i posted them tho... :'D

I've tried playing Kaboom (for the first time) on Altirra. The game seems to get very quick very quick! Not having played the game on the real hardware before I've got no idea how fast it's supposed to run but it seems too fast! Perhaps I'm just crap at it but the best I can do is around 800 way off the best scores here. Anyone else or is it just me?

[McKong]

A couple of scores to add to the table

Breakout (progressive) - 1030
Clowns and Balloons - 15300

It's not just you - I normally waltz through the 1st 3 levels, then I'm lucky if I get past the 4th at all

i only know of about 4-5 people who can score over about 2000-3000 on kaboom... so your fine... i made my wife play the other day and she got ~270... my son who is 13, and playing video games since he was 3, hasnt broken 1000... (but word of warning, DONT play against him in Tony Hawk 1, 2, or 3 on the PSX, he has torn that game a new one since he was about 4 or 5...)

Dug out the XEGS as had Super Breakout and Kaboom! on cart:
Dig that new hardware
The paddles were very jittery for the first game but then settled down nicely

Breakout 909. Double 582 Cavity 1219 (pretty cool when three balls are active - the short bat is a bit harsh

What happened to Chicken and Night Mission Pinball? I voted for paddle games because these two were on the list and I owned both of them. I don't have any of the ones that actually were included. Maybe they'll make it into a second up the creek round?

I droppped NMP as it wasn't paddles (unlike most other pinballs where you can use the two butons) and to give variety I chose Kaboom over Chicken (by Synapse), as it was a bigger name and I thought a lot of people might have it. I'll try and post you a disk, hopefully will cross the pond in time! (send me a list of any new games you have since last time ASAP and I'll fill it out with some others)

p.s. You can sub in Chicken and NMP either way!
*YOU HAVE RIVER RAT*

Hello. Sorry about the delay. We had another tree down, and it took out the internet and phone again. We just got everything back today. Thanks for reminding me about River Rat. I didn't realize it was here after all. It's quite good too. Here's my score best score so far:
84,290

I'm just glad I found one of these that I'm not too bad at even though the other three players are much better than me, I'm just glad I got the highest score on level one as a default...

Now where are my Kaboom scores?

Keep up the good work folks!

And here is a piece of my Birthday cake for you all, not telling you how old I am. No you can't have the joystick... might put the little one up for a tourney prize (buyer collects)

Thanks to young Gwobby for designing this

[sloopy]

i am guessing you are celebrating the 10th anniversary of your 30th birthday?

nice cake, did you play it before eating it? :'D


sloopy.

[orpheuswaking]

Seems a shame to eat that cake... It looks great!

[Marius1976]

Could someone PLEASE tell me what the strategy is in Spy's Demise. I am at the point of pulling my HAIR out of my head!!!!

I have strongly the feeling that there is not really a tactic possible, I have the idea that those up-and-down moving things are completely random moving, so in some cases you have luck there is a way out, but in most cases, you simply can not do it (well... I am not able to do it)

It is not possible to move the spy fast from left to right on it's place with my paddles. so you can not 'wait' on a place. With keyboard this is possible, but with paddles it is (almost) impossible... well again: FOR ME!

This could be a fun game, but in my opinion it is far too hard.

Any help is really appreciated. THANKS

Marius
