Stick a fork in it it’s done unless it’s a totally choke job in the last round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol btw how you do in Popeye 90k+? No idea! I never tried playing one loop of Popeye for a high score. I might try to play along just for fun this week though. Trying not to wreck in six straight races is tough although Track 5 seems to be the only one you really need to make it through crash free to finish first. It's about as tough as the final track in Rad Racer as far as not giving you much room for any mistakes.

I wish I couId have gotten it under a minute, but this is the best I could do on the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docile tapeworm | 4,268 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) The points system isn’t too bad really maybe a little more tweaking to avoid the two wins and a second losing to two seconds and one win.

If 1st 1st 2nd didn't lose to 2nd 2nd 1st then the tournament could be defined on the second week and the final game would be meaningless. BESIDES... There will be an evil and dastardly twist to the scoring system on the last week. MWAHAHAHAHA! Guil and I are so evil. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still awarding some luck in the third round this way. id say 1st, 1st, 3rd should trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docile tapeworm | 4,268 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 @BeaIank I see what you mean 1st, 1st could potentially define the winner of the tournament before round three. but if we can’t hang with 1st, 1st in the first two rounds should we still have a shot at the title?

Only if the same person took 2nd and 2nd in the other weeks. If it was 2nd and 3rd, then it is still open to fight. And as I said, there will be a twist to how the points will be awarded in the last round. There is still 45 points for the 1st place to take, but it won't be that easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 5,206 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I might enter just for this week because of all the games I could play but never beat, this game WAS easy after a while and that was something I liked to see every now and then as a kid--me actually "winning" a game. To be clear, that was getting low scores. It does get boring after a while though, so other than popping it in an NES to watch it run again, I don't think I've played this game seriously in nearly 30 years. Might be fun to see where I stand.

mbd39 | 2,092 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 You don't have much time to get a pic between races. I'm glad I'm playing on emulator because that can be paused at any time. For those playing on real hardware be ready to take the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be doing things to the game that isn't possible on a physical console. Since the rules are as they are, part of the challenge this week will be capturing these damn pics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but if getting the pics is such a burden, you could also just video record your gameplay, then play it back and take pics from the video. I've never used this technique before, but I may seeing the number of pics needed for this run. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pause the game right after you clear the finish ramp and get ready to take your picture on the podium screen.

Also, we can thank that finish time for not flashing on the podium screen, man do I hate when score/time flashes on the screen, and you take like 5 pics in a row, but all of them in a moment the score/time flashed out.

guillavoie | 1,227 Events Team · Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Updated scores in Popeye thread, and added a tournament standing in the 'official tournament thread'. Man this thing is getting hot! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
