Curios how the GGA feels about billy blaming his lack of skill on their shoddy workmanship. We've heard its the board, its the tilt of the screen (omg i love that one, does the screen tilting make pacman go in the tilt direction faster cause of gravity lol), its cause of the joystick, its cause ...

That bug where multiple submissions at once get added up for your esi, hey, if i cant beat greg honestly i'll all for cheating. Its the classic TG way!

the issue was brought up in stream but i think misinterperted exactly how the high score is changing, so let me explain in a largeer comment here

day1
high score is 12930

krull is one of those games where accidental leeching can easily happen. the global rules really arent sufficient for this. theres just too much grey area in deciding whats an honest accident, whats on purpose and where the line is. so i suggest we rename the current track "leechfest" and ...

i was gonna quit this game, then steve motivated me to keep going, now i'm stuck half way between obsessing over a game i hate but i also kinda comgin to like it. so heres the shortest view of tips i have for now and lets see if anyone can build on it for me

1. the instruction booklet has ...

so the old esi bug, whatever, but i bet this is related, i had to lo
curse that snowflake, i really hate that guy always beating my records.

so i've been cutting back on hearthstone and hitting atari vcs/2600 much harder but it seems like most of the time mine is the only atari sub in the queue. Whats going on? are all atari players except me also avid snow boarders?

I say the title a bit self depricating since i'm fighting the urge to say "i cant do it so it must be impossible" but i'm starting to have real doubts about the spacechase atari scores. not just because they're from 1983 so presumably imported from a magazine, but the unfairness ...

@CWK @stygian you guys figured out how to max tapeworm. I'll often submit my lower scores get some conversation going and pick up the tips i need along the way that way. but i've submitted a few scores for tapeworm alreayd and at my wits end. i dont get it it seems just random how the ...

remember when i reported the old bug of adding all your current submission esi on a single track was replaced by just looking at the highest one, even if the highest one hadnt finished. that is to say, if you have one low sub and one high sub and the low sub goes through you get credit for the high

well ...

though i maintain the headline is factually wrong, its close enough that i think some would dismiss my complain as semantics. anywhere, just saw this in a nintendo switch facebook group im in

so the esi bug used to be if you had two submission in the queue for the same game, and one went through you'd get esi for all subs added together

i recently commented that had been fixed but replaced with a smaller bug where if you have multiple subs go through, you automatically get credit ...

first with the things that need to be figured out still before i drone on with the tips and tricks.

questions
1. what deterines when a diver appears. Theres always some algorithm to the RNG, it does appear shooting out an entire row makes a diver a little more likely to appear on that row. ...

noticing seaquest cart art is also interestingnow compare that to this screenshot i took from @GregDeg 's game without his permission and theres not a thing he can do about it1. the label has plenty of yellow, yet uses white numerals instead of yellow
2. get the colors at the bottom wrong (likley ...

i've been enjoying seaquest (planning a soon trivia post on that and a strategy post as well) and had two subs in the queue. used to be, if you had multiple subs, when one went through you get esi for all of the pending ones as wells radicallly giving your wayyyyy more esi than should be possible. ...

so only games easier to max so far i'd say was spider fighter and laser blast. maybe some individual levels on street racer and air sea raid
anywho due to so few attemps it results in not exploring as much as usual my questions for others that may know
1. what deterimine when a level ends? ...

I just noticed today. The graphics on the freeways label are significantly worse than the graphics in game. odd choice. odd choice wondering if anyone knows why

I admit i know very little about mame, so please, disagree with me and educate me if i'm wrong.

the way i see it, theres two basic mistakes, honest and purposeful. so when i consider submission i consider "how could someone intentionally cheat" as well as "how could someone ...

there's quite a bit of clutter

Damn it @Garrett Holland @Rogerpoco and @Glen sampson when i took my break from atari i was in 5th place with a very real chance of coming back for third place eventually. you 3 went crazy gonig up on the leader board, knowing me into 8th, i'm at least 7th now, but i see myself as likely ...

Basically we've all pushed things so far that all maxouts are tied (boring) and all non maxouts are marathons. Wondering what games left put up a good challenge that arent maxed out or marathoned. you know, it would be nice to have a really hard challenge and record that doesnt take hours

now, ...

Probably not worth reporting, especailly on the principle of "if it aint broke dont fix it" i'd fear fixing a pointless error could make issues hence just a wall post for those curious

i used to love it as a kid. Would finish the 5th day, get the trophy see that as "winning" the game, and reset and do it all over. Tonight was my first time in decades, only made it to end of day 4, but thats fine, plenty of time to regain my childhood skill.

i will say fellow enduro ...
