I've read the instructions years ago and I read em again. I've never been able to turn a 10. A 9.1-9.2 though...

It's mostly down to timing. Try to start another move too soon and you get the "jerk" animation. You have to release one direction (go the the neutral/centre) postion and then press in another way...

I can't get 10 points either.

I'm having problems with this in Vice... can't seem to do the uphill climbing sections, on keys or stick.

Ugly event, this one. Tonight's the only time I've had/will have, so here's my best:

2:53.
I suck.

I've had this problem too. Might want to use CCS for this one, haven't had a problem with it.

Great! Biathlon was always my favourite event. My best time back in the days was something like 1:5x mins i think.

2.11 Used to play this even loads of times in my youth but I have no idea about my best score.. think it was much better.

Apollyon · Posted: Tue Mar 14, 2006 11:19 am Post subject:

I have no problems whatsoever playing Winter Games on Vice. Maybe i am just used to using the keyboard for years? Anyway it took me some tries to achieve a run without any misses while shooting. I reckon that skiiing time can be improved to about 1:40 mins.

OK, I am glad I didn't set my hopes very high in this event...

That result of mine is just a matter of practicing about 1425 times between 1988 and 1990 Smile

Next event is speedskating, right? I like that one also but i always wondered about how i got my world record of 0,26.2 mins Smile

I tried to improve it for years and years but always struggled to get even close to it. Let's see what this night brings, hehe.

I changed tactics and abandoned my gamepad for the keyboard and voila... a much faster course time.

It could have been worse!
Biathlon

2:31

2:22 Very good for me (I'm playing this compo with only a few attempts for each stage).

Later I will try other time, hoping to improve the time Laughing
