Hiya,

I think it's about time I stuch a GR++ Hi-Score page up...

Can people post their scores and pics in this thread and I'll sort it out!

Usual rules. Starting from level 1....

/me goes away to try and get a non-crap score.

wouldn't that call be better placed in the GR++ section?

Maybe, but people can't attach images in that forum! I shall post a link to this post over there too!

Erm, does that include Resume Best-ing? 'cos it'll take ages to start all over again, and Resume Best scores are just as valid as start-from-level-one scores, aren't they?

I think you're right!

Resume betsy's are OK too!

While I won't participate for lack of hardware, I must say Resume Best is not quite the same thing as playing through from the start ... for the latter, you have to bring all your skills together in ONE go, rather than creeping forward through the level you manage today, take another week to nail the next one and so forth.

I agree with hairy_pete here : I think a single-sitting score is really your best as it pushes you to your limit 'up front'. From an RSI/mental exhaustion point of view, Resume Best allows you to rest.

I set myself G++-stylee challenges like never using Resume Best and delaying using Sheepie Saves until it gets really scary.

Probably why my HS aint that good in comparison to some I've seen posted here : just under 13 mil

but I'm going to stick with my strategy in the hope I will get better

Unfortunately, there's no real way of verifying whether someone has used one method over the other...

Seeing as it is functionality that has been build into the game, I think it's fine to do it that way.

TBH, resume best doesn't help me that much, and I need the earlier levels to warm up and get in the zone!

Weeeeell... I see what you're saying, but the skills don't get any better just because you might be leaving a day in between getting from from level 10 to level 11. In a way, you're at a disadvantage spreading things out instead of zoning through one sitting. And getting a high Resume Best is all part of the game's, erm, skillageness. In fact, having typed all of that, I'm not sure I believe it now.

How'bout G++ having a dual high-score table. Straight from Level One scores and Resume Best scores (include your Resume Best level)?

But how would we police it?

Now, where was I? Oh yes ... We can just sit them in a comfy chair ("Oh no! Not the comfy ..." "SHUT UP!") and rely on the fact that there is no real point in fibbing about it, is there?

Since when does this fluffy forum need police?

That Resume Best thing is good for practice, for figuring out how to survive levels, before having a go at beating the entire game front to end.

OK. I'll do two hi-score tables!

One for resume best scores, and one for clean start scores... How's that?

Dunno how much you've played G++ Pete, but I don't think it's the kind of game you can do recon trips on levels, working out how to 'beat' them. And you've still got to beat them in the end...

Anyway, here's my best Resume Best score (Level 26, third time round). I'll do a from-the-start score when I get a few hours to spare...

Actually, I've changed my mind!

There'll be one Hi-Score table, and you can get the scores in any way possible, from the start or resume best. Otherwise things'll get waaay to complicated!

If people can't beat the scores on the table from the start, they always have the opportunity of resume betsy - so it still maintains a level playing field!

Comments anyone?
