If there wasn't this competition and i never played skweek and i never finished leander, again thank you graham.

Thanks for your kind words

Actually that's one of the best things about this for me (and Lemon's of course) - playing games you'd otherwise not really bother with. I'm a big fan of both Leander and Skweek now.

Biscuit · 08 November 2007, 19:48

Not to mention, I was converted from a Super Hang-On skeptic to a Super Hang-On addict in just two weeks.

Oh - and a word of warning for Skweek. Level 36 (I think) - don't make the mistake I did and get the invisible blocks so they cut off the short cut button. Or else you can't complete the level. I lost 3 lives waiting around for an exit door to appear.

Sorry, but i have not the same feeling for super hang-on , the animation is poor and the playability is poor too.
It's just the way i feel it

It surely a great game, but the conversion is a little bit done too fast, no optimization, bad framerate.

Graham Humphrey · 08 November 2007, 20:58

Cheers for the heads-up Biscuit.

I think Super Hang-On is a good conversion but that's really a discussion for another thread

Handling in this game is horrible!

Graham Humphrey · 09 November 2007, 18:50

I think the handling's okay, but the collision detection seems slightly suspect.

That also.

Biscuit · 09 November 2007, 21:46

Yeah - it could do with a little tweaking but it's not a big problem. Just adds to the thought that this really deserves a third installment for a more modern system like GBA. New levels, improved handling etc. Qwak did alright on there I think. I'd buy it.

can't believe it myself, i hope you will not beat it too fast.

What level was that to?

turrican3 · 11 November 2007, 02:04

No more than 44 or 43 don't remember.

mailman · 11 November 2007, 08:53

I made it to 42 and I have barely 50% of your score. What's the trick?

CHook/OTT · 11 November 2007, 11:57

I played it for as long as i could stand

10

Providing no-one else enters i've secured 3 points

Graham Humphrey · 11 November 2007, 12:02

Cracking score

Good one, Chook/OTT

Biscuit · 11 November 2007, 15:58

Chook, you nearly made it a full inch across the screen! More than many can handle on a Sunday morning.

mailman · 11 November 2007, 23:11

I have enough of this game.

360,790 - level 53

I am still wondering how turrican3 got so high score reaching only level 44 or so

It could mean that you got a hamburger bonus in almost every stage! And what is more - when you are advancing further in the game, you get less and less points because there is less tiles to pink and you have less time (so less bonus points for time left).

Don't worry I'll destroy his score

I have been playing this most of today and my current score is higher than his ; I'll post once I die

(For the record I'm taking a breather!)

i don't know myself i had 2 times "time left" X 500 and bonus lives

but i don't know how i had X500.
I was lucky, i'm sorry about that, now when i play i never approach that score anymore, i'm more near of 300,000 and i play more well.
