Re: High Score Challenge - S21 - R9 - Snapper
I just realised I don't have this game in my archive It is much easier than the v1 Snapper - I played it in the browser for the first time too, very convenient. I've been to the "Acorn" in the original Snapper a couple of times, but it is LOL fast and I'm not sure I have the reactions for that these days So this is my opener 48,780. I liked another one of Jonathan Griffiths games, Rocket Raid - a bit jerky here and there, but a good, solid game. Having a browse around I noticed a five-way Snapper with up to four human players controlling the ghosts - that sounds like a laugh. Although the controls are going to be nigh on impossible. Got me thinking of an interface to connect to a heavily modified Beeb keyboard to run out five joystick ports (just thinking out loud, someone's probably done it already)

Re: High Score Challenge - S21 - R9 - Snapper
Had another go this afternoon and managed to beat my last effort!
Re: High Score Challenge - S21 - R9 - Snapper
Had to wade in late this round as I've been away. This is my first go for a number of years. I used to be able to get to the acorn rounds. I wasn't really that far off on this go though.
Re: High Score Challenge - S21 - R9 - Snapper
Getting a little better.

Re: High Score Challenge - S21 - R9 - Snapper
Another couple of goes today yielded this high score. Just one level away from the acorns .
Re: High Score Challenge - S21 - R9 - Snapper
A little better again. It might be slow, but it's progress.
