I have a bad feeling I got 5K bonus only in WHDLoad version

Not to my knowledge. There is also a similar area in the top-left corner which has enemies in, but seems to be inaccessible.

If you are using the one linked to the competition threads, then you should be getting the 15K. I tested all versions, and my new best score was done on the WHDload version.



Just for EAB folks that don't read the Lemon thread, I posted this tonight:

Quote:
I can confirm that the following bugs exist in all linked versions of the game (ADF, DMS and WHDload):

No 500 points for killing level 4 boss
Bug if you go too high at top-right corner of level on level 5 - forced through wall to boss
Level 5 completion bonus says 10K, but gives 15K


For the purists out there, the DMS version includes a text reference on the F1 intro screens to 2 other games he made that were published by F1 Licenseware - Op Firestorm and Giddy 2.
... and my new best score is 78,720

D.a.m.n. - I found I use some version 1.1, while the one linked is 1.31. I will try the never one yet maybe.

@ Predseda - I have made the mistake of not using one of the linked versions in games before, as I have everything I could find games-wise already on my system, but time and agan I discovered that the games we linked in the OP are newer and have fixed some bug or issue I was facing, so I had to install one of the linked versions after all.

Thank you Lonewolf10 for your hard work in testing all three links, and confirming they are ok (in using WHD). I mentioned I noticed 'hidden' areas in level 2,3, and 4 - all containing enemies and/or bonus barrels, but no way to get inside. The one shown by Predseda above is particularly annoying, as there is a gap in the column on the mid/right, so this must be the clue as to how to get inside.

Levels 3 and 4 - all areas are accessible.

Level 2 - I think the top-left area was supposed to be accessible, but the wrong type of bricks (indestructible) were used at the entrance. Another words, a design error.
The bottom-right area (as highlighted by Predseda) I am stumped by. I tried again tonight with no success


Team EAB,
Come on guys and gals, if noone improves we lose to Lemon this round... and this year

If EAB wins this round, both teams draw equal in the championship with 9 wins each.

Great!
Yesterday I tried to improve my score for EAB but the game (WHDLoad version) crashed when I was fighting against the 2nd level boss

Really good job folks!

Today is the final day of this round, so if anyone else fancies a go (and I may fire it up today), now's the time.

Well done to those who have improved their scores as that moves EAB ahead of Lemon for this round, so we are now on course for a 9-9 draw with them for the season, a huge improvement on the 14-4 defeat we suffered last year.

It also looks like ED has another title in the bag, but it's gone down to the wire and it's great to see more people becoming competitive

No additional scores on a slightly anti-climactic final day means it's as you were.

Well done to ED-209 for a fourth consecutive league title. LinesMachine pushed him all the way and ends up in second place, whilst Joni finishes a highly creditable third.

As for this round, Lonewolf10 rounds off the year by taking the gold medal so well done to him.

The team battle finishes honours even for the very first time, ending in a 9-9 draw - remarkable given that EAB were 9-5 down with four games still to play. That is some turnaround.

The Knockout tournament is on its way very soon...

Yes, a fantastic fight back from EAB, well done guys. And well done to ED-209 who was just too consistently marvellous for me to beat him...I'll fight back in 2017!

My favourite season so far, with so many absolute classic Amiga games. I think my highlight was Lemmings. Not because I was any good ( I was average) but because it shows that a bit of thought can create some wonderfully competitive rounds. I wonder what other classics we can pull out next year...

Thanks guys, think I'm lucky to win again this year with only one gold!
Linesmachine; Consistant yes, marvellous no (see line 1 )
Now it is time for me to get utterly destroyed in the knockout again lol.

Btw, I think that if 'certain players' had partaken in every round, then we would all have been left behind in a trail of fire
