Summer Carnival '92 - Recca - Score Attack high score #2 & Time Attack high score #1

Score Attack - 483,960

Time Attack - 4:18:26

Spent the better part of the morning platying Recca and trying to break 500K in Score Attack and ended up with this high score. The key is definitely to charge your bomb as much as possible to keep those points rolling in. It's a tough thing to work out, but as this score moves me up into third place after being bumped off the bottom of the table, I'd have to say I'm pretty happy with my progress.

The Time Attack score is sloppy, but I'm pretty happy with it. I know the first stage inside and out, but have no real patterns for the second stage, so I'm working on that. I think sub-4 minutes is very possible.

Hi...

I'm even more confused! Yes, it has already been established that you would like to be known as drtoaplan. Got it!

Then you like to change things up and set high scores on DDP. Then after you have polished your cane and donned your top hat, you go all old skule and proceed to fire up Compile games!

How many PHD's are you trying to acquire, mister?

J/K

All of them. :)

Really, I just have been feeling like playing a lot of different stuff. The caravan games are just so fun to play with at little spurts. Even if those spurts are an hour and a half of intense play...

I have Batsugun on its way and I'll be working that pcb to death when I get it, so the Toaplan love will be comming back very soon!

I'm going to bask in the fact that up until you better my time attack score of 4:18:16, that I'm a superior Recca player.

Kinda notable: Dave, my buddy (see Dave's Webpage on sidebar) who won the CWC Contest, scored 4:18:16 on Time Attack, 10 hundredths of a second faster than this high score.

Needless to say, I'll be beating this score tonight...

Dave said...

still beating you...

slow ass bitch.

drboom said...

So what was that Score Attack score again, superior Recca player?
(Dave: 448,915, drboom: 483,960) :)

If you understood the game better, you'd realize that score attack, and time attack are similar... in that the lower the number, the better.

Perhaps you need to have your PhD revoked.. and just be "Mr.Boom"

Hmmmm. Glad I enabled comments....

Maybe you should spend less time posting in the comments section and more time playing. Then, you might have a chance to beat me. Probably not.

I welcome the challenge. ;)
