EAB Games League Season 1 Round 10 - Lotus 3 - Page 5

Yup. Take a track you can only just complete - with a couple of seconds to spare. Get the code, try it with the regular Lotus, then take the Elan out for a spin. Compare how much time you have left. I did this with the roadworks track 8 in Medium to discover it.

Graham Humphrey · 02 December 2007, 15:08

Nice tip there, I'll have to give it a go.

CHook/OTT · 02 December 2007, 15:09

Having a quick blast now. It looks like the Elan being the slowest the game is a bit too generous on extra time given at checkpoints, I might be able to get past stage 4 on medium now (had another go with the Esprit in the early hours and stopped just before the checkpoint again)

CHook/OTT · 02 December 2007, 15:23

9.1 million after stage 4 on easy and the fucker crashed

Graham Humphrey · 02 December 2007, 15:25

Ouch

CHook/OTT · 02 December 2007, 15:45

Tell me about it, The XBOX is better with floppy set to 100% but obviously still not perfect

Driving Esprit I get 20000 points for each checkpoint and 50000 points for each second left at the end of the level. Let's see Elan then.

Biscuit · 02 December 2007, 18:00

Took the Elan out on the Easy Level: 16,860,860

The one thing about this car. On a narrow track with fast opponents, and especially when slidey, passing can be more of an art. I spent a whole lap behind some annoying red car on the rally track.

CHook/OTT · 02 December 2007, 18:30

@Graham, Why don't you make the last round more interesting and open up the league table a bit (and get vermillion participating again to secure his No:1 spot)

Give 12-1 points out for best easy, medium and hard scores and best overall scores from all 3 rounds? Would open it up again with the possibilty for others to take the title or would this be bending the rules too much???

Food for thought!!!

Graham Humphrey · 02 December 2007, 18:50

Hmm, don't think it's particularly fair to do that at such a late stage to be honest. I think I'll keep it as it is.

However, I do like that idea, and maybe we could use it for a special round in the Super League at some point...?

Same with the Elan and if you drive under the back of the HGV's on the motorway stages i thing you get 100,000

So what's the point driving it and what about that too bit generousity?

It was in Lotus 2. Here nothing such happens (just a sample as if you go through Turbo Zone).

Graham Humphrey · 02 December 2007, 20:22

Well, I took the Elan for a spin... and then I played Lotus 3 again

Easy - 15,580,770

I'm pretty sure your given more time if you play as the slower Elan. Play as the Esprit an make a note of how many seconds you have left after the last stage towards your bonus then play in the Elan, A lot easier and your not chasing the checkpoints despite being in a slower car and i'm averaging 25 seconds left at the end of most races.

It makes the turbo zone noise but i quickly glanced at my score and it looked like 100,000 was added???

Anyway a good way to waste a rainy Sunday afternoon:

Easy: 16,549,320
Medium: 14,791,550 (stage 8/10)
Hard: 16,022,860 (stage 11/15)

TOTAL: 47,363,730

BippyM · 02 December 2007, 20:57

Maybe take the average score!

Oh, now I got it. You get more time to race through the checkpoint! Great, I will give it a try tomorrow.

Graham Humphrey · 03 December 2007, 00:55

Well I managed to complete all ten tracks this time, there's still room for improvement here though (I only just rolled over the finish line in the last race, for instance).

Medium - 17,479,220

Biscuit · 03 December 2007, 04:44

I often play better when I can't sleep.

Hard Level: 32,187,200 (completed)

turrican3 · 03 December 2007, 06:21

what did you do during my trip for a week-end ?

You breaked all the high scores off course.

I'll try to be back
