163,000

capehorn · 19 December 2010, 22:42

261,000

At least that was my score after track 31. My score didn't appear after I had finished the final track.

Graham Humphrey · 19 December 2010, 23:43

You may well be aware of this already but just in case, you have to wait for the title screen to cycle through to the highscore table before you can see your score, which is a bit rubbish. Just like the game really. My word, I hate this.

(I'm still using my previous highscore file from the previous Nitro competition - you can check the old thread for a comparison here; the new score is easy to spot...)

255,000

I second that. Can't believe it got so many votes.

On the other hand I think Jamie Woodhouse later created a real masterpiece with ATR which you loathe, too (read your Nitro comment on Lemon).

Lonewolf10 · 20 December 2010, 20:04

ATR is great, as is Micro Machines - though I have no idea whether it made it to the Amiga. I own all the Megadrive versions though.
Can anyone explain how the money is earned? I have come 1st to get nothing and come last to get 1 credit! Yet other times I earn 3 or 4 credits. I have no clue, is it just random? *shrugs*

My score 91000.

Money is gained by hitting the flying notes across the screen, or by hitting the 'C' markers on the track.

Gas is earnt by winning races, picking up 'G' markers and hitting into barrels.

Graham Humphrey · 20 December 2010, 21:23

And most importantly, the P tokens are points. Obviously...

Predseda · 20 December 2010, 21:29

Go Lemoners!

BippyM · 20 December 2010, 21:34

Nitro is amazing

Lonewolf10 · 21 December 2010, 18:13

Thanks for the tips guys, I am now enjoying this game much more now that I understand how it works

Lonewolf10 · 21 December 2010, 21:33

I didn't think I would beat my score from earlier, atleast not today, but I have...

231,000

Leffmann · 21 December 2010, 22:42

What a crap game

and so difficult. I hate how the car starts jittering from just a tiny nudge against an obstacle.

Dreedo · 24 December 2010, 12:07

Cmon guys only 2 LA members havent posted a score.

If things stand as they are, 5 LA go through, 3 EAB go through, and thats with 1 group being completely EAB, so we're guaranteed to have 2 go through. lol

Graham Humphrey · 24 December 2010, 14:26

Well it is nearly Christmas so it is gonna be a little quiet for the next couple of days I'd imagine... good job we extended this round by a week this year

rexsu · 24 December 2010, 17:31

Sorry I'm very busy for the moment (and tired!).
I will play saturday or sunday.

Graham Humphrey · 24 December 2010, 17:35

That's why we made this round two weeks

To get ten people in already is a good effort in my opinion. It'll be great if all 16 end up contributing a score

Leffmann · 24 December 2010, 18:05

This will be my last score. To do better than this I would have to start cheating

133,000

The last two weeks of the year may be difficult to manage, so yes, it's a good idea.
Thank you

My first score: 319,000
