keilbaca Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Thank you everyone did anyone else break anything besides me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) Congratulations on the world record. Too bad you didn't make it to a million this time. Are you going to try again? BTW, I have a few questions: 1. What happened when you said there was a "level reset"? (Around 806,000) 2. What happened there at the very end when you lost all your lives and the game ended? (The thread title is unfortunate, because it isn't clear that it's mostly about your record breaking feet and video. People will miss it.)

VectorGamer Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Thank you everyone did anyone else break anything besides me? No but Mason Cramer was close on DK Jr. He ended up at 1.7 million and it really looked like he was in a groove to do it but unfortunately it didn't pan out that way. Anyways, it was a great block of programming and hopefully we'll be able to throw something together again soon. I'll throw some feelers out there for availability Labor Day weekend.

(The thread title is unfortunate, because it isn't clear that it's mostly about your record breaking feet and video. People will miss it.) Thank you very much, it was such a nice feeling to end the game on my own instead of the attract mode counter killing it for me. I will try again. I will go after game 1 this time, so I get my name for both. Might as well being I beat the one score, right? 1. The game level resets around every 65k to 70k. The level reset is when the robots go back to shooting super slow. Not only does the score roll at 1 mil, but the level rolls at 127. It then goes back to 0 then 1. 0 is identical to level 1. 2. I killed off all my guys because a storm rolled through and the power flickered, so I ended my game, so I can stop the recording. The power flickered when the video was encoding its final bits, I practically had a heart attack. Shortly after ending my game, the storm passed completely, with a nice troll face on it I'm sure.

BillyHW Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 But why does the level reset kill so many of your guys? And the streaming service you were using doesn't automatically record the stream for later? That would be a useful feature to have. I noticed that the strategy for 2600 Berzerk is very different than for the 5200. You shoot diagonal a lot, but on the 5200 you have to avoid doing that or you'll get killed most assuredly. (Or maybe you're just really good?) You have to try Frenzy on ColecoVision sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kill all my guys at the level reset, so I don't earn too many guys and glitch the game. When the levels reset, its a nice reminder to do so, so I just use that as a landmark. I will only try it if I have a 2600 stick, I can't stand the colecovision controller. Its why I don't have one hooked up, and only played one for only 10 min or so.

BillyHW Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) There must be a way to do that, ask in the ColecoVision forum. There's a user on here named Yurkie that also sells modded CV controllers, and someone posted an arcade-style controller as well. You *may* be able to just select the game difficulty on the CV controller's keypad and then swap in the 2600 contoller. Not sure. You'd probably have to swap back to press * or # to restart or level select again after you lose all your men.

keilbaca Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 If I ever got my hands on a colecovision again, and some games, I'd consider getting a controller for the thing by Yurkie. He makes some impressive stuff I plan on eventually making a joystick that has a universal pinout, then I make boxes of each controller that I want to use the console with. For example, say, a 25 pin parallel port coming out and make each box have a female 25 pin, then inside of the box is the hacking of the controller, then out of the box is the cable for the controller. I can always make a colecovision box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
