I had this as a kid so knew some tactics when I bought one for collecting. These are my scores from my Black book. Any higher should have photo evidence from me.

68 , 71 , 72 and my best so far of 77 Smile

Thanks

. I don't think Ill ever be a true champion racer though (100+). I think I my best ever is about 85 at around the age of 10 and I'm determined to match it one day. I'll keep a nervous eye out for your latest high scores Shocked

After owning one of these when I was about 9 (in 1979) I got one off Ebay.com last week Smile

First few goes saw a couple of very ropey scores but this afternoon at work (best place to play games!) I notched a 64. I'm pretty sure that beats any score I had as a kid. Now to aim for that 88 Very Happy

Welcome to our Forum Ely.

Good luck with beating my 88....I think Wink

Thanks for the welcome Smile

Your record may stand for a while i think. I had moved offices today so no longer can I play it at work. The thing could do with a Mute or Volume Control really, otherwise it's just too noisy to be subtle Sad

Neil, you have two options :
you were on STEROIDS or on CAFFEINE. Laughing

How in the world did you get those scores. Shocked

My best ,so far, is 65 ,but to achive it I got REALLY angry and frustrated.They are supposed to be toys not torture machines!!! Evil or Very Mad

You must play at speed 4 which is literaly unplayable for me!!!
Gotta have some more coffee!!!!!!!!!Claudia make it strong please!!!!

Caffeine could have been involved in my performance but it was not a deliberate enhancement!

I did use speed 4 as much as I could to get the 88. As an experiment I tried to get as high a score as I could only using up to speed 3. I was suprised to find I managed to score 85 twice. I thought I'd include this photo incase anyone thought my 88 was just the display malfunctioning Cool

.

During both 85 runs I only crashed twice so only lost 4 seconds of time. I was also able to spend most of my time on speed 3 so minimising the number of times there was a pause in scoring when changing speeds.

I score faster when at speed 4 but crash more often so keeping the score down.

I would think that 88 or possibly a bit more would be possible using up to speed 3 if you only crash once.

The cars that appear at the top of the screen often pause for a second or so before dropping rapidly. My tactic is to change lane Just before we collide and to drop below speed 3 as few a times as possible.

I play the game with my left index finger on the ON/OFF switch and reset the game if I have crashed more than about 3 times as I know I won't be able to beat my best score Wink

Thats a stunning score Alex! I'm going to have to get my game down again soon. I think your score will stand for some time though!

Don't give in blue6demon. Remember, you don't give up. Just say to yourself "I can do it, I can do it" and when you slip into 'the zone' on speed 3 a whole new world of scores will open up to you Smile

Go on, give it another go!
