The rom you linked isnt detected by lemon.
And when i manually try to load it, it gives a memory error.

My a500 kickrom gives a crc warning, and makes a hell of a lot of noise when starting up. But seems to work. Had to manually disk swap though.

I'll get some scores up to start you off in a bit.
LONG time since i played this one, but i guess that goes for most of the games ^_^

Game type, cup.
Each level has 7 races it seems.

first race easy, second race.. i ran out of fuel....
How does one refuel again? Razz

After the checkpoint there is a pitlane on the right hand side. Marked by a long line of red signs. When signs stop, pitlane begins. Pull up in it. Timing your refuelling can be quite tricky.

Whilst Lemon was down some scores have been posted elsewhere. So they've been updated.

I made a really dumb error on the hard levels so will have another bash before posting my scores.

The hard level is proving very variable. I did have a better go (was 6 points ahead) but when I got to the mountain pass it kind of hypnotized me and I simply forgot to get fuel and ran out. Doh! That was my dumb error. Still, I've scraped this together. Smile

Easy = 140

Medium = 200

Hard = 260

140 + 200 + 260 = 600

If more than 1 person has an identical score, perhaps you should also do a timed race, and determine their position among the 2 of them based on that.

Damn - this really seems to be your game, Biscuit! Unbelievable - you've won the first 13 races. I never won the 4th race (wind). Since the 14th race is easy you have 280 points for sure. Then all depends on the final race. But I think it's impossible to win that one.

I predict you'll have ~630 out of 640 possible points in the end.

Graham Humphrey · Posted: Tue Jul 22, 2008 7:54 am Post subject:

I had a practice go a few days before the compo started and I got 262 points on Hard - I didn't win the 4th race, 6th race (I think) and just scraped 10th in the last race.

The 4th race is impossible to win, isn't it? I've tried it a couple of times and always in the 3rd part of the track my speed drops to about 175km/h. Since it's a short race I really wonder how anyone should be able to win this race?

I guess I misunderstood Biscuit and he actually finished the 15 races when he scored those 260 points.

Biscuit · Posted: Tue Jul 22, 2008 3:18 pm Post subject:

Best I've managed in race 4 is 2nd, but that was as a practice using the code. The only other race I can't win is 10 on the motorway. Got 2nd again. However - when playing them all together I have trouble winning them all. So the max I could theoretically get is 290, but I'm not consistent enough yet.

On tuesday I managed to finish 5th in the 4th race and to win the 10th race. But then I ran out of gas on the 11th track and it was game over...

4th race is unbeatable, 10th is very challenging, but beatable.

Game seems to be easier than it was earlier. Might be because I didn't set it to "Match A500 Speed" tonight. Not sure. Will tackle Hard later...

Easy=140

Medium=200

Total=340

peace!

Lemon's doing the business this round (despite the unstable site hosting). All the medals. If only I hadn't messed up that hard race. Looks like Simon may take the lead.
