Recommended Posts

What's happening in Q*bert? ... 15 people have jumped onto the colourful pyramids of doom ...

7 days to go until submissions close for this game ...

 

Just a point scoring technicality, which probably won't make any difference - but shouldn't Rat and skids be awarded 87.5 points each at this stage? :D

 

Hope I have time to have another couple of games of this before this ends, but work during the week and being buggered from work during the weekends is making it hard :(

 

Would love to have a go of this on a real arcade machine, I don't recall ever playing it on a real machine - I reckon the the 4 way joystick on a 45 degree angle would feel really weird.

Under the ranking system, a tie is awarded equal points. Then the players below this earn the correct points for that position ... so Rat and skids in equal 13th place get 88 points each. As Batfink is in 15th position, he is correctly awarded 86 points ... There should be no penalty to a player for equalling another persons score, so 88 is awarded ... :)

I've now had 4 scores of between 100k and 105k. I can get to Level 5 with 3 or 4 men in reserve, and I just keep dying. I remember the theory of keeping your top 'spinners' so you don't get in a reset loop, but just can't remember / work out the tactics. My best score BITD (maybe 1987?) was around 800k - and I walked away from that with lives left (the machine was at school - I had a lesson to go to). I'm not sure if it is a reaction thing, or just my addled brain slowing in middle-age :).

 

Fun game though - I haven't played it for years, but I will continue to do so.

 

I shall watch some Doris Self videos and remind myself that age is no barrier.

5,300 ... Can we play Bagman again instead of this?

 

Nah ... and you mentioned you wanted to squash Q*bert on the BurgerTime thread ... well I got this for you and a few others.

Practice your game play and if you get mad, you can squash this ... :021:

As the box says, RECREATE Q*BERTS WORLD WITH PLAY-DOH ... you will get better scores ... :laugh:

You may want to also recreate the haircut ... now where's that bowl?

Great story @OOO ... I hope this is the ending.

Very nice crayon portrayal ... :lol ... however here is the reality of how tough Q*bert can be ... and is ... and for kiddies, please don't look at the graphic violence below that a benevolent Q*bert is capable of .... when pushed to the brink by his peers ...

So continuing the story from post 61 (and I know you all are very interested to see what happens next! ...)

 

3 ... More danger

Damn, forgot all about MGL. You've already played 2 of my favorites, Popeye and Elevator Action...could've done 2nd on Popeye and possibly 1st or 2nd on Elevator Action...I've even got my own Popeye cocktail now :D A little late to the game, but I'll go ahead and submit a few for the last remaining games, maybe play a bit of a spoiler :p

Also lost my scores on the leaderboard for some unkown reason first time this ever happened? Coupd it be due to power failure last time i played. But was playing burgertime at the time of blackout.
