EAB Games League Season 1 Round 9 - Skweek

Graham Humphrey · 04 November 2007, 21:56

Just two rounds left to go now.

Skweek

The rules for this competition are in this thread. Here's a quick run-down though:

- The round starts at 12:00am UK time on Monday, November 5, and finishes at 11:59pm UK time on Saturday, November 24.

- Scores can only be posted during the time of the round, any scores posted outside of this period won't count.

- You can play on a real Amiga or an emulator, WHDLoad or not, whatever you prefer.

- If you can, take screenshots or use a digital camera/mobile phone to provide proof of your score, however if you are unable to do this then you can upload your high-score file as confirmation. You should also write your score in your post.

- Anyone can enter at any time, and you can post as many scores as you want during the round. Of course, only your highest score will count towards the final standings.

- Between November 10 - 16 the voting will take place for the tenth round's game, a thread containing details will be created nearer the time.

- At the end of the round, the player with the highest score gets 12 points, 2nd place gets 10, 3rd 8, 4th 7, 5th 6, 6th 5, 7th 4, 8th 3, 9th 2 and 10th 1 (assuming that many people take part).

- No cheating! No using save states, cheat codes, trainers or anything like that, and no modifying scores in any way. This competition is just a bit of fun and hopefully no-one will sink that low. However, if you genuinely suspect someone has cheated in any way, please PM me and I'll look into it. If I find someone guilty of cheating, they will be banned from the league for the rest of this season, and the first leg of the EAB/Lemon Super League next year.

I think that's it. If you have any questions, you can either post them in this thread, the General Discussion thread or the Rules thread. Thanks and have fun!

Another game I have never played before. Let's see how do I get

BippyM · 04 November 2007, 22:27

WooHoo.. gonna be playing this.. loved this back in the day

Biscuit · 04 November 2007, 23:25

Yeah - really surprised this won. It's a great little game, but only a cult following.

BippyM · 05 November 2007, 01:40

Not bad for my first go in like 10yrs

blade002 · 05 November 2007, 17:23

Not quite as good as you Bippy, i got stuck on level 14 ( still had 7 lives ) where everything seems to be just Ice blocks and i end up sliding either completely into oblivion or into an enemy

94,980

Biscuit · 05 November 2007, 17:51

Had a bash. Made it to Level 29, but made a lot of very silly mistakes. And I forgot that if you collect a Teddy that you already have it will disappear. I was collecting them all for about 20 levels till I noticed. Gloups.

Lots of extra lives in this. Merci le programmeur!

It is very easy level if know how to do it. First go right and down. Now back to the top and head left. When you are on the left side, go down. Next move is right and at the end - down. Level completed.

mailman · 05 November 2007, 19:02

I gave it a few tries and here is my best score so far:

226,730

turrican3 · 06 November 2007, 01:13

first shoot 106,910

adolescent · 06 November 2007, 04:45

Second try... not sure if I can get into this game.

109,360

Graham Humphrey · 06 November 2007, 10:14

Here's my 'effort'. Definitely need some practice but I'll be coming back to this one for sure.

73,610

Yeah i will try the game again, but not much more.. I really don't like it that much, and just cant feel much for it. actually i had never heard of it before this week, and to be honest, if i had of loaded it up back when it came out, it would not have seen the light of day again.

I "might" give it another go? I saw the scores already achieved on this game and i think i had about 6000 by level 4 and realized i would have to be on it quite some time and just couldn't be bothered. Not keen at all

On a positive note i have spent more time on the PS2 and just finished Dark Alliance II ... Yaaay!!!

turrican3 · 08 November 2007, 00:59

great game when you become to win: 430,920.
can't believe it myself, i hope you will not beat it too fast.

Biscuit · 08 November 2007, 16:09

Well done T3 - don't think I ever completed it back when I actually owned a copy.

Best so far Level 40 - 321,580

turrican3 · 08 November 2007, 16:18
