EAB/Lemon Super League 2008: Round 6 - Turrican - Page 7

TodaysForgotten · 28 June 2008, 20:48

since my score is going to be late. Im at 1.6m right now. Just giving a heads up for those possibly waiting to see what i post before doing another run. i think i have one level left.

TCD · 28 June 2008, 20:53

Not bad TF! I'm really looking forward to see your score. There are not many points to get in the last level, so you better have some lives left to push your score

Good luck to you!

TodaysForgotten · 28 June 2008, 21:06

uhm. I got into the ship just as time ran out and now the ship isnt there. I had 27 lives (dont know where you all found 60+ lives) I only lost 10 lives and i missed about 15k in mario brothers bricks. So i guess its 5k per life? giving me 1,759,350?

TCD · 28 June 2008, 21:29

Yup, that should give you 1.759.350 points. I think you found a really rare bug in the game

john4p · 28 June 2008, 21:36

That's correct. Very good result considering you haven't played the game all that much.

There are quite a few secrets where you can find 3, 4, 6 and 7 lives at once. I'm glad you didn't invest too much time in this game - because I'm sure you would have found them...

Plus world 3 is like an extralife-lottery: sometimes the giant "Super Mario"-blocks contain up to 3 lives - and there are a lot of this blocks in that world. Also in the jetpack-stages the enemies on rails can drop 1-ups.

blade002 · 28 June 2008, 22:09

Its all over for me.. i made one crucial screwup in the extra lives department by destroying a block that takes you to the top on a lift where there are 6 extra lives and every point counts in this compo.. so thats it for me... I could start again, but i wont have enough time before the compo ends.... Actually my uncle was supposed to be going out to see his mate for the entire weekend and last night when i heard the key in the door i can recall just saying to myself..... oh FUCK @$@%@%@%^!@^!Q^#Q@^#$^$#Q@^Q@#$^#@^^!Q%^!Q%^ !... sigh....

Great Job John4p ..

TCD · 28 June 2008, 22:14

Bad news blade, but you really showed us that you are a great Turrican player

Really a pity that you didn't had more time to play it. However your score is still really great and john had a hard time beating it (I guess

).

Yes. I screamed on the one level where 3 lives popped from the bottom of the blocks. I also missed the 1ups in the upper left of one stage. Infact i know i missed those extra lives and a few other blocks.

I also noticed a couple of lives fall on the jetpac level.

I don't know if i would have cared to find them all. I didnt know the game wasnt so straight-forward. It's all in fun though, no?

Thanks Cyber

Thanks CyberDruid

The key here really is finding time to play it, since Turrican really is a HUGE game as you know. Here's hoping that Turrican gets pick again sometime in the near future but this time "without" interruptions!

Actually the 60+ lives is kind of beyond me as well !?? .. The only way you could really get that many is to hardly ever lose a life ( except for the time outs of course ), so John4p must have played EXTREMELY well to have not lost probably maximum 5 lives just from being killed by the enemy !!

Update-: yeah your right John, the extra lives can be a bit of a lottery sometimes, but i think its just mostly down to your playing skill since its not easy to grab all those lives without being wiped out!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN4P !!!

And don't stress about turning 30. It could be worse, you could 34 like me!! ... now THATS depressing!!!

TCD · 28 June 2008, 22:40

Happy Birthday john!
I turned 30 this year too and I say it's not much of a difference

Have a great birthday and have a drink on your old competition buddies

Well considering you hardly had a chance to play Turrican TF, you definately did an amazing job getting the score that you did, and i am sure you would have most likely destroyed my score had you have had enough time to play it more!

Yes, the play areas are huge and often non-linear.

Hahaha!

Well, I could imagine we'll still be playing Amiga games in 50 years. So it's not all over yet...

So what should I do here then - count the score in your screenie or the score you've worked out here (considering you've been incredibly unlucky there)?

EDIT: Either way you'll be in third place though...

Graham Humphrey · 29 June 2008, 01:01

Right I've decided to go for the score TF should have had, but bizarre circumstances prevented... either way it's pretty inconsequential...

And with that, another round's over... well played all.

Score updates and new round threads to follow shortly...
