ZX HSC Round 9 - Mikie / Hunchback
Re: ZX HSC Round 9 - Mikie / Hunchback
Mikie - 43,400
Hunchback - 900
Mikie is still cool, though bit less glamorous/playable than I remember. Must try the arcade original, see what's it like. Hunchback, no comment, or perhaps my score is a comment in itself
Have yet to get on Great Britain properly, but now have a mental image of BJ every time I approach it...damn you, Juan F. Ramirez!

Re: ZX HSC Round 9 - Mikie / Hunchback
I probably won't be playing these again over the weekend, so here are my final scores...
Mikie: 181,600 (new)
Hunchback: 43,000 (no change)
GB Ltd: Erm... I lasted 5 days!

Re: ZX HSC Round 9 - Mikie / Hunchback
Here we go then. Am making my scores official by using code tags...
Mikie
As enjoyable as I remembered. Generally not too difficult a game, I usually lost my lives in the hallway where the janitor is in the centre of the corridor, as I couldn't work out how to pass by him. Or in that room where you start in the top left and have two enemies converge on you instantly, not sure how to avoid that either.
Hunchback
Just when I thought I was getting the hang of the ropes, I died three times at this same level, with the two arrows. Got a bit tired of attaining exactly the same score so thought I might as well give up and submit it. Quite a fun game, though a tad frustrating at times.
Great Britain Ltd
Cripes, is it even possible to survive an election? I had rioting in the streets before being unceremoniously dumped out of office..
Code: Select all
Mikie - 81,200
Hunchback - 27,700
GB Ltd - Social Democrats? Social Piranha more like

Re: ZX HSC Round 9 - Mikie / Hunchback
Here are my scores for round 9:
Hunchback: 27,700
Mikie: 25,700
Great Britain Ltd: Year 5, 90 seats
On Hunchback I got stuck on the same screen as [mention]Morkin[/mention] and got frustrated replaying many times and dying in the same place each time. And of course with the exact same score. Good game with some sucky areas.
Would have liked to spend more time playing Mikie. I haven't developed a good strategy on the second area. That pesky janitor keeps on catching me when I move to a new room in the corridor section.
I played GB Ltd late last night and almost fell asleep. It was mostly guessing for me.

I've only had time for Hunchback this week (34900 no picture), so I'll be relying on the redemption round for these.

Re: ZX HSC Round 9 - Mikie / Hunchback
...I think if I try all the games again I still wouldn't get close to [mention]clebin[/mention]'s scores.
Though I'm not sure if I should do it anyway, in order to try to preserve my second place, and hope that the random drug tests come up trumps...

The one thing I can guarantee is that I won't be touching that kangaroo with a bargepole..!
