Hi Sniderman:
Your score is in the master database as Orig NTSC...all is well, and thanks for the clarification as well as the goal of Halloween.
How cool that you did this score on Oct31. Perhaps this should be an annual goal for you, as well as trying TCM !! Good luck in your quest to set a new top score.

The under 5 list needs to be updated for the following:
From Atari Age:
1 Manuel Rotschkar - PAL Console
4 Thomas Jentzsch - ALL PAL, NO EMU
From Atari Age:
2 Mark Marrese - NTSC console - CONFIRMED
Slowly but surely :) And everyday brings new hope to it being closer to completion. Keep em coming Troy ^^

That would explain why his score was auto-tagged as emu. A simple Google search for "Atari 2600 Halloween" shows a wealth of info ;)Quote:

In "Texas Chainsaw", you have a limited amount of fuel/gas for each life and can earn slightly more with extra kills, but no one to date has ever marathoned it.

Mike Morrow calculated what he thought might be the \"maximum\" range for this cart. He envisioned it at one point at or near the 50K range a long time ago.
For the longest time the game's record was either 14K or 17K andwas eventually upped to 21/22K range. Mike later took it up a notch further to at least 28K and possibly more, I can't remember. But he felt it had the potential to reach at or near the 50K mark.
Next, if I remember correctly, we discussed the importance of when both the first and second life would expire. The last thing you want is to waste fuel by finishing the 2nd life very close to the next extra tank.
Additionally, the majority of the score is made on your last life.

Wow, I haven't been around for a while. I gotta send in some more tapes....
Anyway, my two scores were both on an NTSC Atari 2600.
Expect another Carnival score to replace my old one soon... :D
(My only goal this Winter Break is to get my tapes in, since they've been sitting around for over a year)
Good luck on this project! I hope it turns out well!

Would someone mind telling me why I bothered to confirm my score as requested if it was just going to enmd up ignored and removed anyway?
Oh no, not removed... it's unpublished. That means it's still there, just not visible. It should be back up right away.Quote:
