ok i got low 30ks a few time. i THINK thats peak difficulty, but i'm not above admitting i need help.

some frustration points
it appears if you jump on a ladder and climb to the top you take a brief dip as if theres no ledge there even if there is as opposed to if you started at the begining, ...

self explanatory. Dude was generous clicking the like button on my comments. I miss him.

so my vectrex update, i actually picked some of the titles i was less interested in and had less esi, figuring if i get them and save the best for last, the second half of hte climb will go easier

woh was i in for a shock.

it appears the remaining titles are much harder competiton than ...

Well i cant submit but i did just get enough points for second on solar quest, you know what that means @Rogerpoco

so this is aimed at the vectrex version, but i would suspect it applies to arcade as well.

if you stall too long a ghost ship appears for 3500 points. This seems to be there with the intention of stopping slow play so the designers without doubt had stalling in mind so its hard to imagine they ...

so i didnt film since i was stabilizing at 2k, and only 3k and 4k once, but today (my prior game being last nights 4k) i hit 13k, well past the 8k record for vectrex "rip off". time to start filming!

i did find video of mame version. I gotta say @D.B. Cooper i know you offered help ...

so if i play a game alot and dont improve i figure i'm just no good at it. But i learned a valuable lesson for odysse2 ufo and now rip off vectrex

if a game is easy and long, then by the end of each session you've already learned a bit. If the game is hard and fast, by the end of the ...

I think i came back from my ban without explicitly giving a reason

let me just say, i'm obviosuly happy to be back. but further while banned i NEVER had any ill will towards TG. I understood other forces forced their hand and i totally got it. I did always think one day i'd be unbanned ...

another game with a similiar overlay to star castle ;) time to cheat!

but seriously. i like the game in theory. you cant die, but the things you're protecting, well you can fail to protect them. its original, its cool. but i dunno i'm not enjoying it, but possbily only cause i'm not ...

honestly i was thinking of how to word this properly without coming off as arrgaont or condescending and i couldnt, but wooo i'm drunk so i can just use that as an excuse, so ok here it goes

tapper arcade, stampede atari/intelliviosn, and bedlam are time management games. People think they're ...

Im gonna use the vectrex star castle overlay when playing solar rescue cause rules dont apply to me. Oh i expect either a reject or a challenge for this insidious behavior, but ima do it

11th place now on vectrex and climbing. I will not rest until poco's reign of terror is over

wall posts get more visiblity but forum posts last longer. I wanted to know which vectrex games are most worth still competing on, rather than do the research and keep it to myself i figured make it public, get help, give help. please add your input here https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/237216-Vectrex-competitiveness?p=1132515#post1132515 ...

so this is captain obvious probably to a lot of people, but i missed it so maybe others did too.

the vectrex overlays pretty obviously say what each button does, fine and good. but what i didnt realize was that the circle to the left indicators joystick type. four arrows mean 4 way joystick, ...

Never played cosmic chasm before yesterday and it hit me it pulls the same stunt the zelda game & watch does that seems so stupid when you describe it, but wow is so effective

Both games are really just the same simple game over and over and over again that noone would ever like. But, rather ...

(note this is alot but i wanted to get it started, will edit and finish tomorrow)

to do the math on max score its worth pointing out
1. starting mines on levels are known. theyall have a "family" of 2 smallter children and 4 granchildren when split
2. some mines have a fireball ...

obvioulsy crashing is a bug, as well as the warp from 13 to 15, but it looks like things were intended to be different after 13. "space dust" is an interesting word choice considering the later mines stay point sized and dont grow to normal size like normal. I just assumed the mini mines ...

i had forgotten i meant to talk about this.

so i played the game. i like the flavor/gimmicks and i like even the core idea, the implemenatoin was sadly off but still.

basically you either avoid or chase robots (never both goals at the same time sadly, it alterntes). some robots represent ...

no no i'm not looking to cast shade or cause trouble the moment i'm back with disputes. the mistake may entirely be my own. 15 minutes before learning i was unbanned i finally beat level 13 (sort of killscreen) on minestorm with 160k, went on post bug screen to get 230k and i have my skepticism ...

so i've accepted and had approve 2nd of 3places (highest tgsap at least and so highest video) but based on the top score it appears to be a maxout that i'm eager to see for myself.

i will say its a shockingly enjoyable game. plenty of frustration and even some cheap parts, but all great ...

a minor annoyance i never bothered to report because it is minor is the bug with the likes. when a comment gets enough likes that it just says "person x person z and y others liked this post" clicking on the "y others" link never worked and you could never see who liked what. i just ...

So the only difference between the modes of pick axe pete is which floor pieces you start with. As the game progresses, that means two different beginning can transpose into each other so realistically, once people start making it furher into the game, its not much difference. level 9 does start ...

i'll fully fund this myself if its not funded tomorrow, just giving others a chance to get in. Currently pick axe point is heavily about point pressing as the later levels are much harder. This leads to boring games where we're forced to spend a long time on the easy levels and then only ...

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/pick-axe-pete/odyssey/ntsc-points/

the weird thing is everyone except me and john marks esi is calculaed correctly. I'm getting a little more than i deserve and hes getting a lot more than he deservves. Cant blame it on my multiple submisssions, since ...

pretty proud of highest tgsap/video proof score on pick axe pete, but not only do i want first, i just plain wanna know if thers anything i dont know about the game, so i figured nows a good time for one of these posts where i try to find people to swap tips with

so lets lay out what seems to ...
