chas10e Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 8551 YIKES!!!! I hadn't reached my first posted score yet I am curious as how to handle the rollover score, I know video would be optimal but could a still photo in the 9k range & a 2'nd still for the finished score work ? ( IF I ever get there ) keep flippin' ( oh wait that's a pinball term ...will work for THIS game ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about taking a picture at each dead clown break...but I think our only legitimate option is video. I'm a total newb in that regard, but I think I just need a tripod for my little video cam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a total newb in that regard, but I think I just need a tripod for my little video cam. Yeah that's what I was doing, snapping a pic as I was getting closer. I did set up a tripod to snap the latest pic and have a couple snaps of previous scores. I might have to make some unique change to a series of pics so I don't get confused ( like change camera angle or something in foreground/background ) I am pretty please with the still-life of different 2600 controllers I have in my last post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenween Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Here's the best I've been able to get, 3'222. Played on my 7800 with paddles. I have to say this game is going in my top 10 of 2600 games. Very fun, great choice for the high score challenge. StormSurge, Justin, chas10e and 1 other 4 "Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime."

RickR Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 w00t I haz nerd cred We really need people to understand that it's all about that nerd cred. And for everyone -- it's about having fun, sharing tips, and getting better at the game. Post your score -- even if it isn't "top". And if you've never tried the game before -- even better. A perfect opportunity to try a great game. I meant to post more tips for this game. I found that if I kept my eyes focused on the middle of the screen, I could track the clowns a lot better. Do not let your eye go up into the balloons, as there is too much going on up there. Too many distractions. Focus on the middle and keep the trampoline tracking the clown the whole time. It's really hard, since it takes so long to rack up points in this game. Takes a lot of concentration. Justin and greenween 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 And also -- GOOD LUCK to everyone on that totally awesome raffle. Circus Atari is a great boxed game to have. The cover art is a little weird, but the purple makes it SWEET. Justin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atarileaf Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 I regret not getting in on this. It's my favorite 2600 game and when I get in that zone I can do pretty well. I'll try to get in on the next Atari HS challenge. greenween and RickR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
