I cannot wait to go to Galloping Ghost so I can see how I hold up on an actual TF cabinet vs my mame Cabinet. I was thinking the same thing. I remember playing Track and Field at Galloping Ghost about 2 years ago. My MAME cabinet has micro-switch buttons and I believe the real machine has leaf spring buttons that purportedly make the really fast speeds possible with the right technique.

It might be possible for Adultery to tweak the program to come up with something, since we already include a link to the marquee as part of the table generation. I'll let you know.

millerbrad Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 52,100. I can't figure out high jump for the life of me, but show some serious mustache power on the hurdles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 As I recall, this game had really weird controls. Probably be ahead asking for advice from one of the higher scoring gents. Updated OP, DB, RSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerbrad Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Aha! The trick to the high jump is that you need to constantly adjust the jump angle as you complete the jump. It's not just a one-press thing like all the other events. Quickly tap the button a single time to take off, then add angle as needed to get over the bar. 67,730 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtkiii Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Nice to see this one still getting some love. I cannot wait until I can give this another go down the road. I think I put the most time into this one and still could not pull out #1 spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickfx Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 That mean i could pass the 3rd position. Nooooooi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 It might not have been deliberate, but the game designers back in the day probably didn't think of all quaters they got just from people trying to figure out how to play it lol. I mean, if a game is 1 quarter, and game over if you fault 3 times (or whatever it is), you're out. So do you move on to a different game or keep playing hoping to figure out how to play? Either really smart programmers, or just really dumb programmers. Updated OP, DB, RSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeClassics Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hey guys ! Here's my Track & Field score: 60,340 points I've checked the settings of post #1 (normal difficulty etc) ~ GC . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millerbrad Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Photobucket must've starting really restricting how much you can view uploaded images. GC's scores in this thread are already hidden, as is the banner on the main leaderboard. To the best of my knowledge, imgur doesn't limit how much you can view uploaded images. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Most if not all of the GOTM banners are hosted in GC's photobucket too. We'll need to fix this soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks...and upgrading Photobucket is 300-400 dollars annualy. No option of course ! What software do you guys use for uploading your screenshots ? I'll look into Imgur. Any other ideas ? ~ GC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you select the image from you harddrive folder ? You don't upload images with an url link from a 3rd party website. Am I correct ? I have to use a 3rd party for the gotm award banner if I'm not misstaken ? Other users have those banners in their signature and this would only work with an image url right ? I was also wondering which method uses the most MB in regard to your GE account maximum (image) MB upload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtkiii Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 GC - you are right...I forgot about the signatures, yeah those need a url. But score postings do not. I just hit upload and select a file on my computer...then Boom...but alas does not help with signature issue. Maybe you could move all those files to imgbb like Han suggested or someone here can create a GAMEEx Banner for imgbb account for them to be stored on? I don't know about GE limits either...but did just look. There is a 500MB limit...I am at 11% after all this time. So yeah if you are more active in the forums and post images for other subtopics maybe this is not good for you either. You have used 54.04 MB of your 498.05 MB attachment limit. I have 231 total attachments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millerbrad Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I dunno... Seems like it's exactly the same as the regular running event, but you also throw some jumps in there at the right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
