Actually, this is to let people know It's broken, and I want a challenge...

I've tried Asteroids, and I suck! lol, congrats on being the champion of that! Um... just so you guys know, this isn't a self praising thread. It's simply a thread designed to give me some competition in this game.

I might've been a transitional champion at that one once. I found that I got too nervous when playing and my fingers would freeze up. I also found that I could go faster if I could just stop saying the current letter with the voice in my head. I kept screwing up at that. Is this the technique you use?

I've spent a good many hours on old-school asteroids. I remember with shock the first time the score turned over and instead of 100,000 I was suddenly back to zero. Thus my highest ever scores were never recorded by the game, but I think I maxed out at 114,000. What challenge level would I be trying to beat if I ever stumble across the game again, might I ask?

(amazing how entertaining old games can be, especially at times when you have an old computer and they're all you can run!)

ed: just followed the link beneath your avatar, and there's no way I'm coming anywhere near that score. *homage to the king*

At first I was saying them in my head and getting a score near 120 every time. But then I tried to quiet my mind, and think of something else while I typed. That got me around 128. Then I started to type by the rythym of music, and that was the key. I actually played it to the song called "Remedy" by Seether. I looked down, my score was 132 with 2 seconds left, so my fingers flew and I busted out 5 more letters in 2 seconds. It was awesome. I've been trying to break that record and the closest I've come to was about 131. So, I guess that was a one time only kind of thing. Try and beat me, if you dare :evil:!!! LoL

Why did you do that? And how do you delete scores, somehow I catch myself not believing your 138 story.

138? 1,38 aka 1.38. Trying to joke, it was something in the 20, 30 or so.

I deleted my scores, as I'm frequently the first to play after installing it. Looks a bit silly and unjust all those 'high'scores for me (highscores champions).

Very nice score ZainDustin.

Thanks. Nice "joke" lol!

I've played that game, it doesn't seem to have any skill involved... and I suck at it after all.

Are you trying to say I have no skill :inquisitive:

The skill is in finding the easter egg:idea2:

But since noone else has seemed to notice I'll leave it a secret:hide:

If you're a champion of a game it happens automatically here in the "Frontroom", but you have to be a champion.

I'm not saying you have no skill. I'm just saying that game seems more like luck then anything. And, what easter egg?

I had a go, I cant touch type, well only certain words, so I got around 70-80, cant remember the exact score.

I'm best at bowling, only a few points off the record there. But it's Quientus' record, and he holds like a thousand records lol. So if I beat it, he'd probably just get it back easily lol.

Zain
02-12-2006, 20:15
Well, this sucks. Skokamatth is definently the master at the game I once reigned in. I'm not gonna be able to beat 142.

I just played that game about 40 times, and nothing over 135. Congrats Skomatth.

Hey Tibilicus, sorry about the Beach Bobbing Bob score. :smile: :laugh: :evil:

I don't want Skomatth to have that score anymore, I'm going to have to defeat it, no matter how much time it takes.

What the...? I was playing the Bank Robbery game and the score was put on the Typing Test score... I'm going to get TosaInu to remove it, if he would. I'm only 1 away from beating you Skomatth! :evil:

If you have 2 games open in 2 separate windows, I think the scores are sent to the game you opened last. That's how I got the insane Hexxagon score. I've asked for it to be removed, but I still seem to have it.

Zain
02-18-2006, 03:26
I've asked to eliminate the score, I don't want unfair scores.
