Re: High Score Challenge S12 - R8 - Sorcery

Re: Firebug, Sorcery, Boxer and Smash and Grab...
I see what you mean.
A while ago, there was a mention of some kind of software that Acornsoft were using to create some of their games with and I wondered if that might have been it.
Thanks.

Firebug, Sorcery, Boxer and Smash and Grab...
I've noticed that these 4 games all have a very similar look and feel to them and they were all programmed by Walter Mansell.
I was wondering if he used some kind of games designing software to make them, perhaps one of his own making?
Any thoughts?

Re: High Score Challenge S12 - R4 - Starship Command
(Finally found the correct screenshot!)
Got to into the 4000's on command 1 with this one, then barely managed 80 on 2, got a few hundred each on 3 and 4 before getting slaughtered in seconds on command 5 with only 28 points.
Definately the best score I've ever had though (even BITD!).

Re: High Score Challenge S12 - R4 - Starship Command
Theres definately a large element of luck involved with this.
Sometimes you get nothing but plasma bolts firing at you and other times they just seem to line up for you to shoot them.

Be interesting to see how this one goes.

Re: High Score Challenge S12 - R3 - Thrust
Managed to get through to level 6 on my first try!
Problem is, I don't think I ever completed level 6 BITD so I'm unlikely to now.

Re: High Score Challenge S12 - R1 - Ghouls
Theres a lot of luck needed with regard to where the ghosta appear at the start of each level.
Also, i wonder how many broken beebs and screens this game was responsible for?...

Plus 1 interface (or similar?)
So, now I have my Mega games cartridge, I need a Plus 1 interface to use it with.
Does anyone have a surplus of them? (Preferably at a reasonable price.)
Cheers!

Re: High Score Challenge S12 - R1 - Ghouls
Actually completed a level or two this time!
I remember how frustrating this game was BITD until I discovered the trick of playing it (the BBC version) on my Electron
Anyway, no such luxury this time so...

Been playing this each day so far and this is the best score I've managed so far.
I suspect this will not be one of my favourite games...
