That is quite an impressive score you've got there. Of course, you will realize that your attempts are futile, once I post my 4 million+ score...... Cool

Thanks

I was lucky to get the big money bags twice in the game.

On this subject, I noticed that it's not only the red teapot to give you said bags, but also a light blue/cyan star or something. Don't know what I collected to get that, I try to get everything I can to simplify things Smile

It's a good thing I got this score, 'cause I'm leaving on holiday this thursday night.

I didn't beat Apollyon's 2003 score, though. Yet. Cool

Bring it on! Twisted Evil

PS I'm counting on Rainbow Islands' music to prevent Macc from beating my score. Mr. Green

A small progression in the game and managed to beat my 2003 score - always something!
553.400

I aint done yet! Beaten this game twice would you believe but the version I have just goes to the credits with no way of viewing your high score after the end, just sticks at the credits. Hell with it, I think I'll use the tape I have of it instead.
Volume controls are a godsend!

Wow

You just had to be quick with your camera I suppose, but it's really annoying that the game does that. I think every version does that, not sure though.

Did you manage to get the real ending, too? As far as I know, the good ending gives you, like, 10,000,000 bonus for completing the game.

Sadly not! Score was over 3 mil on both occasions though, never once saw a large cash bag although on the last level, every pick up is a small one.
I'll have a go now, this time i'll be ready with the camera. (I'll use the same version for loading speed but if I do get that far again ill snap as soon as ive collected the bonus's)

Then I salute you Smile

I've never been able to beat level 18 this time around (my all-time record is level 20 or 21), let alone complete the game.

I've run out of time and I could not beat you even if I had more, I trust.

Well played everybody, this round for me is over, see you on august the 8th. Smile

I know the feeling. I couldn't be bothered to play over my weekend and now I'm back to work so I doubt I'll be using any of my few hours off to play that thing either. I would have liked to beat my old score but I'm not that bothered.

Final desperate try and minor improvement:
787.570

hannibal · Posted: Sun Jul 24, 2011 9:14 pm Post subject:

Well played everbody, especially SLF and macc! My 4 million screenshot somehow got deleted, so I guess I have to settle with this mediocre score: Wink

691.850

At least I beat Tommy and Super Ninja Twisted Evil

I couldn't find the time this month, preparing for my third child, who is arriving in anytime now. Perhaps next month will be better.

Congratz for the third child Very Happy

That's why your fav.game is Hat trick, isn't it?

I haven't played as much as I would have desired either (not because a third child Laughing

).

I've tried hard this night but I couldn't break the 1.000.000 frontier Evil or Very Mad

Congratz for the winners (all who broke that frontier are winners Razz

)

Thx Aliens. I think it's the other way around. Because Hat trick is my favourite game, I just had to have three kids. Very Happy

Good active compo guys. Hope you all had fun! Unfortunately I was mega busy with work, and although I had a few goes I had nothing worth posting.

Over to the August compo....voting thread up soon

Ok, finally updated the leaderboard and scores. It's nice getting broadband back after being without it for 2 months while I moved. I'm sure we'll see shteev joining us at some point too once his move is finished.

Glad to see you guys still all so active though. The lead has changed quite a lot in the last couple of months - Macc's score this month was most impressive I have to say. Well done there fella!
