Capehorn takes it back!

470,000

john4p · 16 July 2019, 19:40

NICE!

Health looks equal now but your in-game score is much lower than malko's. The 2nd tie-breaker puts you back on top.

capehorn · 16 July 2019, 19:45

Thanks.

When you first bought up score as a second tie breaker, I never thought there was a chance it would be needed.

DamienD · 16 July 2019, 19:48

Just wanted to ask; how is it that people get different scores when completing the game? As far as I'm aware enemies don't respawn so...

...and how do you get a lower one; I would have thought the score would be the same when playing through?

john4p · 16 July 2019, 20:07

Actually fishes, bats, pygmies and the two giants do respawn. You don't have to kill fishes and bats and all pygmies.

Also sometimes there are more bats than at other times so if both players kill them one will still have a (slightly) lower score.

Just reached the two giants at full health for the first time, but then lost about 75% health on them. Need to learn the rhythm. Then Zelek killed me because I made a unnecessary mistake.

malko · 16 July 2019, 20:13

No. When dying, not all enemies gives scores. For example, in the beginning of the game you can "milking" by killing the fishes. But as they seems to appear without end, there is no mean to kill them.
Bats also gives scores. So either you try to kill them (and make an higher score - which is useless regarding the round rules) or you go straight, get a little bit touched but makes no point.
By the way, even the fishes re-spawn when you come back after Ishran, Barloom and the Oasis. Just cross the bridge to the right (no fishes at all) make the bridge disappear from the screen and return (<-), fishes are here.

Edit: Was typing and thus did not see your answer John

Yes, rhythm is the key. I have trained this part a lot.
Just in case you don't know there is no need to start again from scratch to train this part. Kill them, return to the old man's hut and kill them again. Repeat until you get the correct rhythm

. Of course the game's internal trainer help to train

john4p · 16 July 2019, 21:35

Yeah I was thinking about practising this way. But it's a long way to get there...although I could just run there right away. Guess I'll ask for ten pints along the way.

At least managed to beat the game now with two potions:

470,000

malko · 16 July 2019, 21:38

Excellent ! Well done John

Damn, missed that post ! (and the one just before).
So I had advantage only for about 15 minutes

.
Well, I still have four more days to beat you again

But not tonight... others things to do.

Thank you mate!

136,000
I completed this game in my youth, very happy to have finished it because it was very hard.
But it was also a relief and I did not think that one day I will play again...

malko · 16 July 2019, 23:25

bravo rexsu

Looks like you are going to free the second prisoner

Did you have a solution back then or did you find out everything on your own?

john4p · 19 July 2019, 19:21

@capehorn: Please choose a letter for the Alphabet round that is not A, D, G, L, M, Q, U, V, W, X, Y or Z (we already used these).

@malko & rexsu: If you manage to beat capehorn score then please do the same.

capehorn · 19 July 2019, 20:23

470,000, better health, score 1,120

I'm annoyed because this could have been better, it contained a very silly mistake.

john4p · 19 July 2019, 20:54

Also finished this with more health but still less than malko and you:

470,000

malko · 19 July 2019, 22:32

@capehorn : Whaou ! Will try to second you to lock next round golf game as john4p comes closer and tickle our feet

@john4p : Really great score

!!! I will make another go and try to reduce my score as I still have an higher one than you and capehorn

rexsu · 20 July 2019, 19:23

My new score 460,000 (1130)

Cruel sequence, the developers are sadistic

I did not have a manual (hummm

) so I used a solution to know the keys and understand the dialogues...
I still solved the puzzles by myself, not longplay at this time

Sorry but I just want to complete the game, I do not have much time for myself and my motivation for SBII is not very high...
I'm glad I finished it again 30 years after its release

Otherwise, nice performances you, Capehorn and Malko
