Re: [NES] A-Type Not sure if he's gotten anything better either on or off stream, but I have a file on my desktop titled "rosti's shitty nes score.txt" that contains the following score: 457920. No idea about level or lines.
Re: [NES] A-Type a slight score increase for me. don't have video- the camera died halfway through...
Re: [NES] A-Type Hi Everyone. I'm new to this forum. Lots of great stuff here. Thank you all for that. My brother and I have always been really serious about NES Tetris. After watching Ecstasy of Order, and talking with Kitaru on Reddit, it kind of prompted us to get some good shots of our highscores. We'd be humbled to be added to the list here. Not sure what the protocol is exactly for submitting scores, so I hope this is ok. Mark S (MY Tetris Master / older brother) 523,829 lv 19 NES (9) Matt S (me) 509,424 lv 20 NES (9)
Re: [NES] A-Type looks like a fine protocol to me welcome to the forum! Nice pace as well, I think the future will be bright for the both of you.
Re: [NES] A-Type Welcome aboard! I entered your score in under Journeymansf for now since that's the handle you've chosen here and so I figure that's what people will get to know you by.
Re: [NES] A-Type Thank you guys! The max-out videos and all the other info here is super helpful. It's just been me and my brother for like 20+ years, exchanging strategy and info. Now we know about this whole world players out there. We're shooting for 600k now
Re: [NES] A-Type Got an email from my bro this morning. New score for Mark S: 612,559 lv 27 NES (9) Just when I think I have a chance of catching him, haha.
Re: [NES] A-Type nice... but I have this question (as the picture begs this question): how is there a game half in the system as the pic was taken? the game in there does not seem to have the purple banner, what is it? Not that I question the score of course which is great edit: I think it might look like its holding the tetris game down, is that the case?
Re: [NES] A-Type Yep! Little trick that works particularly well on my brothers NES, it just holds the Tetris cart (which IS in there) down better. Sorry, not trying to start a controversy
Re: [NES] A-Type hahaha, no controversy. By the time i edited it i remembered having used this trick myself
Re: [NES] A-Type Ha, I recently fixed my NES, and it only works if you don't push down the cartridge after inserting it. Problems like this are typically caused by the metal pins on the 72-pin connector getting bent down over time. I'm doing a full cap kit and replacing my 72-pin connector sometime this week. Its mandatory maintenance for these consoles.
Re: [NES] A-Type This NES does that sometimes too! I think it did have the connector replaced at some point.
Re: [NES] A-Type I got the maxout! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBcSKm2Xhk0 The heart rate was about double on level 28. Not fun seeing 998xxx and thinking you're going to die.
Re: [NES] A-Type congrats man! that is the first max i have ever seen that didnt end in a tetris. i love that the max outs are still coming and theyre still unique. i also believe it is the first level 9 i have seen. maybe others have done it first but i havent seen one. why do you start on 9 anyway? thanks for inspiring me to continue to play!
Re: [NES] A-Type I went for a level 9 start maxout in part I guess since no one had yet done one (recorded), but I also kind of like it because even though it takes a bit longer than a level 18 start, sometimes I feel that the extra second or so per block in the early levels enables me to try out different possible strategies.
Re: [NES] A-Type great game chad! kinda scary at the end but you got it done......welcome to the Club.
Re: [NES] A-Type 999156 woulda been cool too, hahaha, great work chad. I knew you would make it happen soon.
