ZX HSC Round 9 - Mikie / Hunchback

[akeley]

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!

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!

Here we go then. Am making my scores official by using code tags...

Mikie     - 81,200
Hunchback - 27,700
GB Ltd    - Social Democrats? Social Piranha more like

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..

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.

GB LTD - year 5, kicked out

This game is impossible. I tried to play it safe and yet was always heavily in the red. Can you actually "win" it somehow?

GB ltd. Year three election, narrow loss:


Mikie: 24,000

Hadn't played this before. Quite enjoyable.

Hunchback: 27,700

Utterly detest this game.

[Juan F. Ramirez]

Last attempt at Hunchback (I starting to hate it!!!): 25,200
Mikie: 18,900
GB Ltd: Year 5, lost elections

Round 9 scores. Everything can change in the final round!

Clebin is surely unassailable in first? Or do we have someone who will smash out some great scores in the redemption round and change it all...

Overall scores

[Morkin]

...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..!
