7180 - I'm off now for the day. I look forward to an improved high when I return this evening. You should be too busy with the tournament then as well. Good luck!
It's harder than you make it look - you were cruising btw on your submission. Just proves how quickly it can end. Universal definitely are up there for the 'We want your quarters' award for some of their old shooters. Beautiful looking Cabs they had though.
Getting them all to run the same way is crucial. In some of the games I've watched, players will grab the net and only send the slower animals back to the center. I can't quite figure out why.
Tips for extra man stage (from bottom to top): 1: You should be able to get four jumps in. 2,000, 100, 6,000 and another 2,000. You'll almost never hit the cage on this one. In fact I don't know if you can. 2. Wait for the elephant, jump for the 6,000. Do a quick right/left in the air and guide yourself over the cage. 3. Jump the two animals that run at you, back up a hair, jump over the cage. This is the level I have the most problems with. 4 (top). Jump IMMEDIATELY and pull the same quick right/left you do on level 2 over the cage. Little room for error here.
If you're good, you can scab a few extra points on these boards. I can never seem to rely on it, though.
Hey Elrod. I wasn't aware there was an issue with my profile. Strange.
I've been doing well, thanks. Stepped out of gaming for a bit to work on a recording project and get sober. But now I'm back! No luck on breaking the 2m point barrier. I've watched a few INPs and I think I understand how these big jumps are pulled off however the majority of games I've watched had high scores due to survival (and surprisingly few 250k and 500k jumps). I may have to devote some time to it tonight/tomorrow. It's infinitely frustrating knowing that I can get to the "net boards" yet have a paltry score to show for it. There's more than meets the eye on this game..
Sounds like you've been pretty busy too. I really miss the old days of the competitions, but life has been crazy lately with recording projects and stuff I am producing in the real world. I miss hanging out with you guys, though. Maybe opne of these days I can at least block in a few days.
I see you are still staying active in arcade. That is most excellent!
