hansolo77 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 I told my dad about the new competition idea and asked if he wanted to try out. He said no, but suggested we try to play some Centipede as he always had the high score for that at the arcade when he was younger. So I did it. It's hard to play with the controller stick, but when I discovered it could also use a trackball, I switched and it was much easier...Score: 13948Initials used: HAN Quote
ClassicGMR Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Special Rules: Usage of any spider-trap tactic is banned!Explain please? Quote
hansolo77 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 Explain please?I dunno, I just cut-pasted from Twin Galaxies... I guess theres some kinda ingame exploit that if you get caught doing it you're high score is disqualified. Quote

I guess theres some kinda ingame exploit that if you get caught doing it you're high score is disqualified.Well since I can't find anything on it (been looking at Google for an hour) I guess it can't be that well known anyway. EDIT: Found it. Quote

GimmeClassics Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 @ Hansolo,thank you for using my suggested layout when creating a hi-score thread. I think this definitely will create a clean and fair hi-score competition I noticed my "Rules for submitting you hi-score" thread is integrated in the general "Hi-score competition" thread as a seperate post. I can live with that This is an updated link to the rules-post: http://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/12699-hi-score-competition/?p=102755The link in your post#1 is not working right now. Please used this new link I'm really excited the competition is getting started !Game On! Quote
hansolo77 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Posted April 27, 2013 Changes made.. will update Galaga too. Quote
GimmeClassics Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Here's my Centipede hi-score submisson: > Hi-score: 21,128 points > Settings used of post #1> Mame 0.147 compiled used> Screenshot of my hi-score:Happy hi-scoring!GC (Dennis) 1 Quote
rtkiii Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 is this still on going or remnants of the "May Comp" Thread? Quote
GimmeClassics Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Han and me are discussing about a leaderboard and scoring-system. So there is a pretty good chance you will be awarded points when you have a top 5 hi-score position on a game Centipede included!Happy hi-scoring!GC Quote
hansolo77 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Posted May 9, 2013 This was never part of any official competition. When we first started, we were just making up game threads with a table of scores. Then we decided to put the games to a vote and just compete on 1 specific title per month. That way we wouldn't suddenly overwhelm the forum with lots of games all at once to be playing towards. You can still offer high scores and we'll update them to the tables. It's just not an "official" May game. I say "official" in quotes because we're not official by any means. It's just the idea is to spend more time playing 1 game instead of trying to beat scores on a bunch at once. 1 Quote

We'll come back to you as soon as possible.Happy hi-scoring GC Quote
rtkiii Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 either way it gives me a reaosn to play some old school games Quote
hansolo77 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Posted May 9, 2013 Nice score! Good enough for 2nd! Already updated the OP. And you're exactly right. I look at this as a way to not only have a friendly competition, but to also relive the excitement of the old games. Who knows, we may get a newer game eventually. But for the most part, it's about enjoying the games we miss in the arcade and submitting our own personal best for others to try and beat on the own without the need to travel to that specific bar.

hansolo77 Posted May 15, 2013 Author Posted May 15, 2013 Just updating to say I changed the name of the thread. Removed the "Hi-Score Competition" part. Quote
rtkiii Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 I accidentally put in the wrong Initials so if you do not want t count this it is fine. 27,906 Quote
hansolo77 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Posted May 21, 2013 I dunno.. sounds kinda fishy.. lol it's cool. I did that on another game we haven't been playing. My true initials are AML, but I started using HAN so you guys will know it's me. No biggie. I'll update the OP!And the whole HAN thing is actually kinda fun. I can picture in a future Star Wars movie the main character going into the Mos Eisley cantina and seeing a Star Wars arcade game there, and if you pause the movie at just the right frame, you can see that all the high scores were set by a mysterious stranger named HAN that nobody can beat. EDIT -> And with that score, rtkiii takes the lead! Quote

ehuonder Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 A trackball is a must for centipede! Especially when I'm trying to run from the spider! 1 Quote
hansolo77 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Posted May 23, 2013 Yeah I think I need to tweak my mouse settings. It's either too fast or not fast enough. Good score celly! Updating OP now! 1 Quote
GimmeClassics Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Nice job Celly I'm also playing Centipede whithout a trackball...it's pretty hard! But I like, like it, yes, I do....Sorry, just hoping to catch a Stones-concert this year or the next...Updated Leaderboard.GC Quote
