Important Note: This competition is over and no further scores will be accepted.

Welcome to the fifth High Score Club Variety Pack! Rules for this competition are a little different, so please read:

• This competition combines four games over a two week period. The deadline for posting scores is Wednesday June 22nd at 1:00 AM (Central Time, UTC-6).
  
• Scores for each game will be listed separately, with reduced scoring awarded for each game (5 points for first place, 4 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd, 2 for 4th, and 1 for all other scores).
  
• Scores are also combined for a final ranking, with Combined Score = (Tutankham x 200) + (Journey Escape) + (Bank Heist x 20) + (Gorf x 15). These scores will then be ranked and scored as per normal High Score Club rules (11 points for 1st place, etc).
  
• This means you could score up to 31 points if you post the #1 score for all four games. Alternatively, even if your scores are low, you can get 5 points just for participating.
  
• You do not have to play the games in any specific order, and you can submit updated scores for each game separately.
  
• You do not have to play all four games. If you leave out one game, you will still be counted in the final ranking as if you had scored 0 for that game.
  
• Scores for individual games will still be capped at the point where the score rolls over (Journey Escape will be capped at 1,000,000 and Gorf will be capped at 100,000). No additional capping will occur for combined scores though.
  
• For this competition, there will be no bonus challenges, and no points awarded for best tips (don't worry, they'll come back next time!)
  
• If more than 20 people participate in this competition, I will extend the scoring (Similar to what was done with Stargate a few weeks back)... So bring your friends, and you might end up with twice as many points out of the deal!

Variety Packs offer a nice variety alright!

I like these games, never owned or played Bank Heist (soon will on emul)... if it was Fantastic Voyage, I'd be beaming twice as much, as that's my favorite of Fox games

I actually played 2 of these games in Season 4s' line up. Gorf and Tutankham... I bet I will mow down my 5 yr old scores here.

Will be an interesting Variety Pack...

[LarcenTyler]

Tutankham: 382 (Still remember when I found this game in the late 1990s.)

Journey Escape: $30,300 (I ran out of time but that's because I missed getting into the car with Steve Perry. Also, I'll bet you anything Data Age was 'crying now' after they went under during the crash, and this didn't help them at all!)

Bank Heist: $3,218 (Remember, make sure you destroy the cops to make more banks appear, since the more banks you knock off, the more fuel you get in the next stage.)

Gorf: 4,100 (No comment.)

[DT Kofoed]

I WILL wrap this game. That's just something I will NOT stop believing!

[classicgamer_27330]

Tutankham : 264
Gorf 1075

[Stan]

Interesting pack. Been awhile since I played Tutankham. I like that game. Need to buy Journey again. Why do you do this to me...

[oyamafamily]

Bank Heist - 45,190
Gorf - 16,200
Journey Escape - 876,000
Tutankhan - 421

[DT Kofoed]

653: I honestly don't see myself playing this one very much these next two weeks.

[Frostbite76]

Gorf and Bank Heist are great games but Tutankham has the second worst controls ever after Shark Attack. It's poor controls would make a grown man cry.

[Stan]

Hmmm, I regret not taking a picture of my first score. I thought someone here got much higher. Oh well, pictures in the future then.

Tutankham: 700

[Gorfy]

I tried taking a pre-rollover snapshot during Gorf and screwed myself up and died before hitting the 100K mark
Anyways, GORF: 98,100
TUTANKHAM: 756

Tutenkham: 813:. The controls take some getting used to, but I couldn't find much to fault here other than the inability to shoot vertically.
Bank Heist: 31770. Those flatfoots can't stop me, myah! Just rob nine banks on every screen, see? Myah, see, myah!
GORF: 4800. I'm finally gonna spend some quality time with this game sometime soon.
Journey Escape: 32700. I know I can roll this game, but I need time.

[Vocelli]

Wow... what a selection:
Tut: Great game horrible controls. 868
Gorf: Good game can get frustrating. 10500
Bank Heist: very nice surprise. addicting and fun. 9623
Journey: I think I fell asleep and miss my bus. 116800

Question on Bank Heist. Is it better to get 9 banks and leave the city with more gas or to run the gas low and keep knocking off banks in one city?
Question on Tut. Does this game end?

Pictures taken for Tutankham and Bank Heist if anyone wants to see them. Current scores below. Gorf is tougher than I remembered, mainly because your shots are so slow. My last high score I tried on my own was barely 10K on Bank Heist, totally blew that away. Tip, on later levels, make sure you try to get near the full tank before leaving a screen. You have no chance if you don't.

Tutankham: 801
Bank Heist: 45,040
Gorf: 9,300

[JacobZu7zu7]

Journey Escape
582,300 Missed my ride, it gave me like 2 seconds to get to it... and it didn't show up again, with 27 seconds left. WEAK... I could have rolled it on my first try there.

Tutankham
1,730

Gorf
13,800

Bank Heist
$1,080 $21,153
(don't get it yet, need to read manual) READ IT!


I already beat my SEASON 4 scores for Tutankham and Gorf

Yes it does end, after completing the blue level... then it returns you to level 1 on a higher difficulty setting.
