Dilligaf | Thursday, February 15, 2001 - 07:41 pm  Hey baby!! I'm willing to play a solo version of "Dirty Minds" anytime you want! I have my ammunition ready.... If we run out of questions, I'm sure we can make up some of our own!!  |

Leap | Thursday, February 15, 2001 - 08:35 pm  My highest Bejeweled count was around 7000. I am not very good at this game. I think I will take Lance's advice and start at the top. I have been just randomly jumping around. |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, February 15, 2001 - 09:16 pm  Hell, maybe it was 7500--who knows--it seemed like another zero though. I can't be getting more than 10 fold what others are getting though! For reference, I played well over an hour on that particular game. If you guys are getting 5K and it's taking you as long, then it has to be 7.5K, not 75K. The bonus values were getting high, I do remember that. I don't care about having high score or not--it's just a fun game! An hour goes by darned fast! |

Fruitbat | Friday, February 16, 2001 - 05:46 am  My longest was 30 minutes. You must have gotton 75,000. |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, February 16, 2001 - 07:15 am  Bat, played for well over an hour and hit right at 20,000. I bet what I thought was 75K was actually 20K. For those of you who wear contacts, I found out something very important. After playing for more than an hour and not blinking, you can't see very well! Maire said that checking hi scores shows some of them in the millions. I'd want to stop and eat before then! (maybe retire from work too) |
Leap | Monday, February 26, 2001 - 01:49 pm  HEY!! I just finished clickomania. So, technically, I won. However, my score is 10th on my list of best scores. Apparently, you have to clear large blocks of the same color to get big scores. |
Mishamisha | Monday, February 26, 2001 - 01:56 pm  Lance, I finally hit 78,555 with Bejeweled. It took 2.5 hours! I used a combination of techniques in level one, mostly working top to bottom, and favoring vertical wins over horizontal ones. Those outrageously high scores clearly come from playing in the higher levels, where you don't lose from lack of moves (you automatically get a new board) but instead you work against a clock. |
Leap | Monday, February 26, 2001 - 02:08 pm  Mish, I am so incredibly impressed I don't know what to say. Congrats!!!  |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, February 26, 2001 - 02:12 pm  Way to go Misha!!! |
Mishamisha | Monday, February 26, 2001 - 02:58 pm  The funny thing is...I've only broken 10,000 a couple of times, and usually bomb at around 12,000 if I do make it that far. Pure luck, folks. That and having waaaaaay too much spare time! |
Soeur | Monday, February 26, 2001 - 06:37 pm  from the designers of Bejewelled comes...
Atomica |
Twiggyish | Monday, February 26, 2001 - 07:12 pm  I blame Bama for telling me about this one: www.iwon.com The casino is fun! |
Cammie | Monday, February 26, 2001 - 07:16 pm  Soeur, Finially figured out the card trick you sent me. Very, Very cool. I will definitely check out Atomica!! |
Soeur | Monday, February 26, 2001 - 08:16 pm  Cammie!!! warning! do NOT play atomica...I can barely type this, my fingers are stiff and my neck aches...don't go there....

Glass | Monday, February 26, 2001 - 10:18 pm  ATOMICA = EVIL (But I'm a bad girl so does anyone have any strategy tips? I have tried not to let any atoms get boxed in and to keep the same colors generally near each other, but that's about it.) |
Cammie | Tuesday, February 27, 2001 - 07:57 am  Soeur, NOW you tell me. I went straight to Atomica after chat last nite. That is even more addictive than Bejeweled. My kids just roll their eyes when they see me playing. Wonder if they are old enough to do laundry? (Someone needs to pick up the slack around here!) |
Soeur | Tuesday, February 27, 2001 - 05:20 pm  My hand does not hurt as much now that I have figured out an Atomica strategy.
1. keep an eye on where new atoms are going to appear
2. form molecules asap
3. let appearing atoms complete molecules
4. plan a few molecules at a time and leave paths open to potential molecules It is a very nice game but the sounds are not as good as bejewelled. When I first found Atomica I had a 'Homer Simpson' ranking and am now an "Intern"  |
Glass | Tuesday, February 27, 2001 - 06:16 pm  Soeur....I have made up to 7 molecules in a row - leaving paths for the final atoms as you have recommended. Also covering or passing over important spaces with other atoms as soon as ghost atoms appear will help. It's still a bit of a cr@p shoot toward the end since you don't know where the new atoms will appear with enough notice and it gets too crowded to maneuver. I reached a level 10 and "professor" with about 4,000 points. |
Glass | Tuesday, February 27, 2001 - 11:40 pm  I have no life!!! After almost two hours of playing Atomica all I have to show for my desperate lack of any kind of social life is a score of 6480, a level of 21 and a rating of Genius. Yeah right!! Please take pity on me. No more addictive games for awhile. Please, I beg you. My husband misses me. I found him clutching a photo. |
