Red | 435 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Hello and welcome to the fifth round of the Game Boy Weekly Contest! This week's game is Dead Heat Scramble. Rules: - Play until you beat the game or Game Over -You may choose any car -Highest score wins -Be careful! The preset High Scores are pretty high (lowest is 600,000). If your score is below that, I'd recommend pausing your game right before the timer runs out to get your score. If you don't, you'll only have a couple seconds to take your picture. -If you pause the game to get your score, you may round it up to the nearest thousand. -You have until 11:00 PM EST on Sunday, January 5, 2020 to submit your score.

I bought this game specifically for this contest and haven’t tried it out yet, so here’s hoping I get interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) 1019870 [Old picture] Finally cleared stage 6 without continues. I've also played through the rest with continues and stage 9 and 10 seem nearly impossible without a lot of luck. Has anyone figured out what's the difference between the cars? They all feel the same to me. Edited January 5, 2020 by 0xDEAFC0DE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnpoly | 198 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) 867,300 Five levels completed is acceptable. This game is awfully luck heavy. Edited January 5, 2020 by arnpoly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koifish | 555 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 790660 I have no shame in saying this is my least favorite GB game so far in the contest, and perhaps my least favorite of all the GB games I've played in the last year, with the exception of true crap like Pit-Fighter or Escape from Camp Deadly. That said, here is my only entry. I won't subject myself to any more of this one! bgb00050.bmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koifish | 555 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hey, if anybody gets to the end of this game (even with continues) then they should post the ending in the Beat Every Game Boy Game contest thread. We'll gladly take one more off of the list for 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 1339780 Well, I wasn't really intending to play this again, but I figured I would try one more time for the Beat every Gameboy game contest. To my surprise, I cleared stage 8 without continues. There's no way I'll every clear stage 9 without continues so this is pretty much my max score.

And I agree, i wouldn't have been able to make it any further without continues either. I should've just continued to beat it for that other thread but I wasn't thinking.

I got you covered, I just finished it and posted. Wow just noticed you updated your score. You've pretty much tied me, but I guess I got a bit more luck. Also, at this point I feel like the cars are all the same. I've switched back and forth and haven't ever noticed a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecmyers | 97 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 228,480 Well, my actual high score just now was 334,940 (stage 3) but I couldn't pause in time to get a photo, and then I was basically done. Unfortunately I couldn't try this out until an hour ago because of a stomach bug going through my family. The game isn't too bad, but the hardest thing was holding down the A button the whole time; it might be better playing on something better than a GBA SP, or if they had made B accelerate and A jump--I'm finding it actually painful to play it for long! I also should have looked at the manual first, because I think the power-ups are key. Ah well. Happy New Year! Oh, and I see I grabbed an old Post-It in my haste as well. That should say "ecmyers" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splain | 2,560 Editorials Team · Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 676940 Here's my "happy to be here" score. This game is definitely more fun than I thought it would be, but it's not one of the masterpieces or anything. If I get clocks, I move to the next level. No clocks, my run ends. I also didn't notice any difference between the cars, but I always did way better with the offroad truck than with any other car, and I couldn't tell you why. The manual doesn't mention any differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
