Every world record seems like it would just be a bonus. I agree, but them'z the rules now. Anyway, I just spent 1/2 hour getting an uncoordinated chick to dive for a frisbee and freakin catch it. Verdict: Disc Golf is pretty painful to WR; Surfing is hard but not too bad with some practice; the other 4 are really easy assuming you RTFM. @scaryice California Games is done now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're now solidly ahead of me for 5th place. F15 is one of those games nobody wanted to play, so congrats on that one too.

scaryice | 565 Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 The only game left that I've beaten is Metal Mech. I said that I didn't want to do it, but if we get to the final 10 and it's still there... who am I kidding. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the manual helpful for surfing strategy? I have the controls down and have always gotten good marks, but I dont think I have ever got he wr and couldn't figure out why. Congrats on two more big clears and top 5. Thats especially impressive with you having done so many RPGs and the KOE games especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dracula | 126 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Nice work guys. I hope to help out for at least one more clear. I was briefly giving QBert a go but couldn’t handle it’s difficulty. The isometric jumping was hard on my brain. Avoiding the enemies is very tough. Then you get into the polarity element...yikes. Mad Respect for anyone taking that beast down. @Tablew/chairs nice work! Hopefully I’ll have a bit of time to work on Kung fu heroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dracula | 126 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 It makes sense that we’re not allowing a regular playthrough of California Games, World Games, etc when the records are there to be taken down. For consistency why do we not have this rule with championship bowling? It has a high score of 200 but we’ve never cared about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if all of the games this year are finished by the end of July though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the manual for how to do weightlifting and didn't find it helpful. I won't be able to get back to it til late next week. Certainly won't be disappointed if you off it in the meantime. For weightlifting, there's a lack of visual cues, so you really just need to get a feel for it. All you're doing for the snatch is holding down, then up, then down, then up, then down (waiting a moment before switching directions). Figuring out how long that moment is is what you need to get a feel for. The clean and jerk is the same thing but with an extra up and down. Heavier weights just make it so there's a shorter moment when it's okay to switch directions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tablew/chairs | 225 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I finally bit the time bullet and did Back to the Future II/III. Although the controls are slippery and the hit detection is a little off it's actually a decent game. Part III could really be its own game, i've assuredly played shorter and crappier NES games. There is a ton of value here for someone ambitious enough to map out part II, you really would have gotten your money's worth with this game. Overall it was better than I would have imagined. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel_Doyce | 450 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Hi @scaryice, I need another adjudication on F-117 Stealth Fighter. I beat all the 6 primary missions in the manual. Is that sufficient? That would be the requirement analogous to F-15 Strike Eagle. Edit: Never mind, I looked at TMR's playthrough and apparently there is an ending sequence after beating the secret missions, so I guess I need to do that?
