30k, not worthy of posting here. I find it a lot harder to time the jumps on the emu. Is ist allowed to use the real thing and take photographs of the screen?

And what about a small "side"-compo, best times for each level?

I'm taking some time to upgrade my pc at the moment, so as you'd expect, I've completely knackered the thing. I'll get to this game as soon as.

No problems I hope?

Weird, i have no problems memorizing attack patterns in shooters but with racing games such as this or Trailblazer and Jeep Command i have serious problems memorizing the tracks. Maybe because the speed is variable? Or maybe because i tend to go at full speed all the time? I doubt i will be very competetive this round but the game is cool. Never played it before and was not even aware of it's existence.

Small improvement : 105.050

Best run ever, but I died in round 6 Embarassed Hint: don't use skateboard all the way in round 6 because you won't get any blue cans then and that is necessary to complete it.

I guess the explanation partly is that you never played it before. I sucked at SWIV but I also never played it before in my life. I played Metro-Cross a lot back in the days though and I guess it shows.

140.900

I'll be back Cool

Welcome titch. I hope you'll enjoy the compo.

It seems that every round there are either shteev or somebody who has played the game a million times as a child. This round we have Tommy. I predict victory for you T. Cool

I'm not that much behind, though. Made it through to round 11.
