ONE Try Challenge #004

---------------------------
Game Name : Logger
ROM Name  = logger.zip
---------------------------

Default Settings

1 week only (no need for longer, right?). Ends SATURDAY, March 21th, 2020 at midnight Pacific Time

RULES:
1 Quarter only!
-One play ONLY (No repeated plays)
Only first score matters
-Study attract mode for game play, ONLY!
No looking for tricks or tips
-No friendly advises to other players after the game
Winner picks next game
-If no winners (draw) Whoever posted first, picks new game
No participants for one week. This thread = DEAD!
 -No need for screen shot. It's friendly competition (if you have the need to stroke your ego by cheating at whatever age you are, then you have bigger mental issues than need to win)
The more unknown the better (all games deserves some "love" and recognition, no?)
-Try to provide your best guess as to what controls supposed to be (If incorrectly recognized as 4-way instead of 8, it stays that way for all)
If you know the game, play it, just say it!

100!
omg what a turd! I don't know why but my joystick would over travel every time and on the way up character would jerk downwards before getting off costing me precious milliseconds. I had to get used to the issues.

2700
out of 3 games. I didn't feel doing it out of 5 due to being a turd.

:D  The game is quite... Special.

It's been years.  Time to go fire `er up I think.

Stuff has been ... real ... as of late.

Wow.  This seems like a BASIC program I would have typed into my Atari 800 from the back of magazine when I was a kid.

To be fair my U360 was acting up.  I'll give this one another try at some point.

:(

Well...

It doesn't count but:

1st game: 3,100

3rd game best: 7,000

5th game best: 7,400

Since it's over... I can say that I have not played that game in YEARS... I remembered playing it about 10 years ago and thinking ... this has GOT to be one of the most out there DK clone.  Yeah.  It sucks.

Are we doing another one this week?  Looks like Friz and I were late with scores.  I'm okay with mimic picking another game.

It doesn't seem like there is much interest to keep it going. I, myself am busy with Half-Life: Alyx, Factorio, No Man's Sky. If you guys want to continue I'm in. However are we going to do it for the 3 of us?
Regardless it would be FrizzleFried turn anyways. His first score was better than my 3rd. Even though he knew the game, we kind of all do, considering it's Donkey Kong clone (clunky one).

FrizzleFried - 3,100
mimic -            100
wp34 -             100

After 3:
FrizzleFried - 7,000
mimic -         2,700

After 5:
FrizzleFried - 7,400

I'd suggest end date not this Sunday, but the following Sunday.

Hey! Just saw these challenges posted. I plan to search for these threads more regularly in the future. Has anyone selected a new game for challenge #005?

 3100 here.

I wasn't ready for the hyper speed second level. Seemed like level 1 was playing at 1/2 speed.

I'll tell you what... if you or FrizzleFried will post a new game then it's on. I don't want to post new one for the sake of continuing while no one really cares to play it.

Meanwhile, since there wasn't too many players anyways, I'll count you in, what the heck.

Nice! I have a few hours until the end of my work day. I will post a #005 if FrizzleFried hasn't done so already.
