Back when you had to play games like this because there was no other choice. His only other game was Elevator Action, so I'm convinced his parents hated him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 @BeaIank I'm still confused as to what we are counting as the loop point. There are several sets of double bridges, but like in the video I posted, the game loops right after the snowy area. There is a set of snow covered double bridges at toward the end of that section, so is that where we stop? It might be easier just to play until game over to avoid confusion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched that longplay you posted. To me, it looks like it gets insane quickly, but you guys are also insane with your capabilities. I'd be with a "play until game over" rule, but I'd also be fine with a "play until you die" rule instead and I don't think it'd take too long for anyone to get to either point, unless difficulty caps at some point and some of you can just play "infinitely" by dying well after you've earned a new life. But I agree @Bearcat-Doug, after watching that video I could see it being tough to know when the game has looped. There are so few biomes and everything looks the same. I doubt I can loop this game, but if I did, I possibly wouldn't know it. Edited September 11, 2023 by RH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt I can loop this game, but if I did, I possibly wouldn't know it. So, I've been looking at this playthrough and the order of backrounds proceeds: Green, Desert, Green, Snow, Desert, Snow, Green, Desert, Green. It looks like the loop point is after the desert double bridge when the driver hits the 4th green area. How do we get everyone to hit pause at precisely the same moment? The driver's score is quickly racking up with every split second of progress... Edited September 11, 2023 by PII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 | 2,024 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 There is no clear looping point in Spy Hunter. It's best to just play until game over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should make games super short. Thoughts @BeaIank and everyone? Is that too short? Nevermind. I just played the game for the first time. Apparently you get infinite lives until the timer reaches zero. I didn't understand that. It complicates the one-death rule, IMHO. I'm fine with a play til Game Over setup, regardless of looping.

BeaIank | 1,621 Events Team · Posted September 11, 2023 Author Share Posted September 11, 2023 Playing till game over makes this whole ordeal entirely too long to get a run in. I don't like that idea. We can do first death after the timer ends, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaIank | 1,621 Events Team · Posted September 11, 2023 Author Share Posted September 11, 2023 OK, I changed the rule set to first death after the initial timer expires. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unnecessarily complicated. Edited September 11, 2023 by Bearcat-Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been in the running for it before. I missed Millipede week and @Gloves missed Popeye so it's our fault. I'm guessing whoever wins this week gets the title. I finished 4th in the 2020 Millipede contest too, so I probably would have had the arcade lead going into this week with the lead if I had played.
