High Score Competition # 65: Nibbler

<< < (6/7) > >>

Yeah, I had a score of around 52,000 even playing on my cab, so I figured I'd go ahead and try to beat Jason's score on my laptop.  Only problem was that I was doing it in bed next to my wife, and finally at 11:00 she told me I was driving her crazy with the clicking noises...

I figured a happy wife > Winning the high score competition.   :P Maybe next time... now that I have my cab working, I actually have a shot at these things!!!!   :D

Well, since jasonbar is the only one to submit a score (besides me, but I chose the game, so I can't win), looks like he wins. You get the next pick :)

jasonbar:
The 2 sweetest words in the English language: De Fault!  De Fault!

I'll plan on posting a game later today--I've got a list of candidates & will pick one.

Wow, no pressure on me--I can't pick a stinkier game than Nibbler!   ;D

1 Billion. Holy smokes. My wife would kill me if I spent 3 days trying to break a record. I prefer knowing I could do it only if push came to shove. And no one is shoving.  ;)

I missed out then. I got roughly 350,000 on Tuesday. I did save a screenshot but didn't get a chance to post it.

And yes, the U360 cannot handle it well at all when the game speed gets going. It reacts nothing like the original nibbler 4 way. 2 thumbs up and a toe for U360 on Robotron, but a thumb down for Nibbler. I was starting to remember my old patterns but couldn't execute them worth crap. Throw might have been a factor also, but it seems it was more reaction time on the U360s part.

I tried my outer joystick which is angles inward. It's one of those 8 way to 4 way easy switch joysticks from Ultimarc. I thought that would help. My god, the advocates of pointing their joysticks straightforward were absolutely right. It was 10 times worse that the U360s because of the angle. I didn't even clear 2 waves. I never really noticed how bad it was until now since I never play on the outside. Now I know what my kids were referring to when we play gauntlet. What I once believed would be intuitive turns out to really suck.  ;D.

Next project they face straight ahead.
