nosweargamer Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 New personal best! 149,510 Things get harder for me once the ice guys are added to the mix, but the levels following the third bonus stage actually felt a little easier to me for some odd reason. Perhaps I was getting into a groove.

Ballblaɀer Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) I'm used to the 5200 and 2600 versions of Mario Bros -- I played both of them a ton growing up, especially the 2600 version. This was my first serious go with the 7800 version. I had a great run, but first I need to vent! The collision detection between the purple fireball and the platforms in this port is ATROCIOUS. Killed more than one great run that I had going. You score no points for killing fireballs, seriously? Killing them is more trouble than it's worth, especially when taking into account the just-mentioned poor collision detection... There's an infuriating (to me, anyway ) movement mechanic quirk: if you jump, let's say to the right, then in mid-jump move your joystick to change direction to left before you land, but you jump again at the same instant that you land, you *don't* change direction for the next jump, and instead continue to jump right! Game programming should not prioritize jumping over detecting the player direction.* Anyway, my score: 194,240 * I just learned that this happens in the arcade version as well. So I guess technically I can't be as mad as I was before. Still, I consider this a bug; a player should not be punished for trying to be precise!

Sabertooth Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 69,640. A slight improvement using EMU7800 and Logitech F310 controller. Still a long slog to get to our leaders. Ballblaɀer, nosweargamer, greenween and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
