Not sure this is an ideal solution for scoring this game, due to it potentially being difficult to get your score...

Strange round to kick off the year
![]() So I take it the idea is to get the most score & money as possible prior to the first 'division challenge'? How does the money affect your overall round score? Anyway my first attempt: Score - 10,199 Money - 101,600 BTW I recommend taking screens of the map in between races.. if you crash out your score is not displayed (found this out the hard way). |

I just noticed taking a screenshot IN GAME does NOT show the money, only score, but final money screen is shown at the end, so this would indeed require x2 screenshots.
The options are: take shots of the map screen only (before every race) and use Score + Money. The game over point is when only the Division Challenge star remains on the map. And as Graham suggests, taking a screenshot of your final score can be gained during the game itself at death point, and added to the money from the previous map. Press F10 to pause. OR use Ze's idea (for example Raced * Won * 10,000 + Money) which would require two screenshots at game over (table and money) or at the end of the 16 races (table + map screen showing one star remaining and money). Score could be substituted for money as a variable by taking a screenshot of the game and then the final championship table. Not having money or score included might lead to a 16 x16 lockout situation. At this point, the map screen option seems less complex, But as always, I'm truely open to scrapping the score + money idea if its actually rotten. Half of my ideas are genius, the other half get me into trouble. True story. Last edited by lifeschool; 19 January 2014 at 18:38. |

I guess, I'd better not voted (as Akabei on LemonAmiga) for Crazy Cars III. It looks like a lot of hassle about the scoring.
Don't get me wrong, I voted for it, because I like the game, I think it's really nice and I'll definitely post a score. But: - It takes some time to get into it. - It takes even more time to get a descent score. (that's OK, if you don't have to play for hundreds of hours) - The scoring system is some kind of obscure I don't think this game will help to generate new competitors. Is there a thread like this here or on Lemon? I'd post there: "Indianapolis 500 would be a fine selection, because you just need 40 seconds to get a score. That would be a good idea for a restart of the Super League. Every newcomer would habe been able to post a descent score after maybe half an hour of practise and the pros would still be able to post better scores because of their ability. I know, it's too late and the wrong place. Just my two cents. |

My vote goes to the simplest option.
Screenshots from the map screen only. Score * 100 + money.. (total wins ignored since you score more in 1st anyway) |

Isnt money received by getting places in the races and beating the other people who bid before the races ? Had 3 practice attempts and not once did the people bid the same amount on the same races, so that seems to be generated randomly. Money is also spent on entering races,fixing the car and possibly upgrades.

That's a great idea who - so we will opt for Score, multiplied by 100 and then add your money total. This puts more emphasis on doing well in races and less on the gambling element, although if you have a lot of cash it's a little bonus.
So please post your total scores with that formula folks! ![]() Total - 764,200 |

Was pushed for time this morning so a couple of points to answer.
Firstly welcome TroelsDK into the fold! Hopefully you will become a regular competitor, it's a fun competition ![]() Quote:

We don't have a thread exactly like that but Lifeschool and Harry did run a couple of threads some time back detailing the games we hadn't played yet, there's still plenty out there to choose from - Indy 500 must have been mentioned somewhere. CC3 is a superb game though and in my opinion is the best sprite-based racer on the Amiga. Just a shame we've had so many racing games as I kind of feel like I've had my fill of them in this competition. |

@ who - thanks for sorting out the scoring.
![]() @ graham - a kind word about a racing game? I see you are already competetive... @ cpt/hindsight akabei - CC3 won by a fair landslide, hopefully more interest to arrive as some of us have been waiting years for this game to come up. |

Well first go and I didn't even get to the end of division 4! I thought I was doing really well, won about 4 or 5 races! Then it all came crashing down, a 7th, and then next race busted by the cops! Game Over!
