Title: High Score Challenge - 4 Weekly ?
Post by: paradroid90 on 16:25, 15 April 14
Hi Guys and Gals

I am not sure if I missed the thread but does the forum have a High Score League?

I know on Lemon 64/Amiga and Stardot to name a couple have a high score challenge every four weeks.

Just wondering if anyone thought this was a good idea and if it was something we could arrange between ourselves ?

I know there's been high score challenges before in various games, where participants would post screenshots of their high score.

I haven't been part of it myself yet, probably won't be in the future either (since I'm mostly just into the nostalgia), but I'm sure there are plenty of people here who thinks it's a great idea.

I voted Maybe, but you really need an "I don't really care either way" option. As a complete non-gamer (due to lack of talent) I've no interest in it, but I have nothing against it :)

Obvious we would need to draw up rules of competition and take screen grabs/screen shots of our highest scores.

And if peeps want to cheat in a compo which is just a bit of fun is quite sad  :)

Trust is the key here  :D

~Not really. I know WinAPE's session record feature stops recording if you use snapshots, so requiring that as evidence, would solve the issue of using snapshots.


And besides, what type of moron would cheat in a contest like this which would be purely for fun?

We have 952 members, only 17 voted, I think the "don't care"s have won this poll. ;D

And I couldn't even vote "Don't care" because it only got added after I voted :(

have a go at the 1st track of each game and see what your best lap time is?

mine are not great times and not great driving im sure must get myself a real cpc stick instead of using this xbox 360 controller....

snap shot file recorded and attached for authenticity

best lap on track 1 champ sprint was 88 and
best lap on track 1 super sprint was 77

have fun  ;D

I can't get Super Sprint past the track select screen, not in the mood for messing around.

I remember it being a right pain^^^^.I'm not a fan of super sprint or any of the incarnations on the Amstrad . Will see if I can get some laps in though.

what are you using a real cpc or emulator ?

i found that if i did a complete reboot of cpcgames cd  and had my xbox 360 usb controller inserted from the the reboot it was fine and many laps of racing were enjoyed !!!

I'm using WinAPE. I can make the cursor move around with Q and A but no other keys respond.

just so u know i was one of the 2 who voted NO

it is rather silly as an idea - yes i know we wanna rule the cpc world with our highscores etc etc and it would be fun etc etc

i would much rather see something like what Devilmarkus has on his javacpc website where there are a number of different games you can play and the highscores are posted.

or theres a page people can submit their .sna files and screen pictures and its an open entity no time frames and no bias towards any particular game

you just play what you want and post the .sna file and if anyone wants to have a go at beating it they can simply post their .sna file for all to see.....

Just wanted to say to everyone thank you for voting and it was great to see everyone's point of view :-)

( Sorry Bryce for not putting the "Not Interested Either Way" option in at the start  :D )

As mentioned in the thread there is many methods that could be used (Lemon 64, Java CPC, sticky threads for the top 10-20 games of the CPC with a continuously  updated high score table.

I will to help if we are looking to get something up and running  ;)

I agree with this, maybe a new forum category "High Sores" could be trialled with this?
