[High Score Challenge 02] new batch: Mouse Stampede 2.0, Crystal Quest 2.2, Crab Attack II
- Thread starter Mu0n
- Start date
Just how! I couldn’t get above 20,000 since by level 4 the enemies guard the last dots to pick up and I just couldn’t get to them. How did you do that?
Crab attack II is really hard. It's a mouse destroyer of a game, so I recommend playing on a laptop where you can freely tap on a trackpad without fear of destroying a mouse button.
I got to the trilobytes in beach 2 and still have no idea how to get past them. I asked the developper Andrew Lindsay in a comment of his own video, he didn't know either.

I deleted your lower scores, made no sense to lock you out of beating your best stuff from Jan 31st. 7 days left if you want it!

Do you mean 200,000? You can shoot them or bomb them out with space. I typically rush to get the most problematic crystals near the enemy gates first so I don't have to do it in a late stage of a level when there's tons of stuff flying around.
Ah shoot this deadline just snuck up on me didn’t it. Sorry but I have nothing good to contribute, was really bad at crystal quest and mouse stampede I got over 100k but that’s it.
Challenge 02 had low turnout but sure, I can start another one.
I was thinking of selecting:
Airborne!
??????????
Shufflepuck Café against Biff (highest differential. Points scored by you minus points scored by Biff, so that even if you lose, you may submit a score, albeit negative one, since he's so hard)
Help me select game 2!
While that's a classic, it kinda shatters the "short quick game" aspect I was going for. People can play for ages in Tetris. If there's no other suggestion, we'll go for it.
I’m fine with whatever games - the biggest thing for me is that whatever games are picked work on newer macs running system 7. I don’t find playing on an emulator fun, and so games that won’t run on anything other than a Plus or original Mac running System 5 or something like that don’t appeal to me. I checked out airborne and it looks fun but it’s from 1985 and probably won’t run on any of the systems I’ve got because of that.
Just my opinion though.
It is a good reminder that I’ve GOT to take a compact home from the VCF swap meet this year.

Sometimes, games feel they have some floaty reaction time inside emulators, especially in Basilisk. I think I know what you mean.
However, you don't need to worry about "Airborne!" running in mini-vMac. For one, like always, a bootable DSK file will be provided and two, there's no feeling of delay that compromises the action, it's very close to the real thing.
