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 ...

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 ...

my odyssey 2 sound no longer works. i hadnt played in so long at first i thought the games just sucked and didnt have sound programmed in, then i remember they did. I just realized this after my last submission so no i wasnt trying to pull a fast one. also, no its not a concidence i bring this up ...

tried to message you privately, but its ok if its public nothing personal or private to say. anyway, there seems to be a bug with your ufo submission where just your screenshot shows up and no video youtube link or anything. i have no doubt the score is legit and this is a tg bug, but a dispute will ...

I tend to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. With my atari controllers (and i supsect atari port itself) being an issue i tell myself "dont start newer games or another system, wait to finish this" but then when its time to play atari "its still broken no point buying no controllers ...

I've sent in my nomination for patrick patterson for the walter day lifetime achievement award.

this is better than facebook (hence the part1, alot of already use tg beyond just games and instead make friends to, so time to go with that further) and this is nerd related at least. sooo check out my sweet new shoes

Man i love goodwill. This bad girl works, not making any tracks anytime soon, still busy with atari and centipede (arcade) but this was at my last stop at goodwill and i think its pretty neat cosmetics. i tested it, it works, tried 1 of the games, definitely aimed at very young kids but maybe the other ...

First lets get the inevitable buzzkills out of the way, advice like "just don't" will be disregarded, this is looking for advice on "how" not "should".

I'm thinking the real issue is of course you're not gonna submit video of keeping you pet alive for ...

Juan, you approved this submission which has now been disputed and removed. https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/224266-Dispute-Simon-Leitch-M-A-M-E-Galaga-Namco-rev-B-Points-Marathon-Player-Pablo-Forc%C3%A9n-Score-718-450
