Hi, I'm trying to get a score of >820 for Carnival of terror, but need a suitable wait time + score. The problem is time is limited in the game and I'm not sure how long I should wait.

What does wait time actually mean? The time the game is on screen (including time in the main menu)
or does it only include the time from the moment I press start to the game over screen.

I have done some research, and one can achieve 637 in 102.5 seconds.

You are given 102.5 seconds at the start and 10 sec per powerup.

Has anyone successfully SSed scores for Carnival of Terror? Could they help chip in?

I suggest you AoB instead. That's how I got my avatar, and it's /almost/ perfectly safe, in my opinion. x)
If you use AoB, you won't ever mess up on the timing or the scoring; you'll just get unlimited ammo, time, and health.

Here's a good guide for using AoB.

I thought in the AOB safe list, http://www.neocodex....ht-on-cheating/, they said that its safe to use AOB only if you don't use the infinite time cheat.
I'll try this the next day though (3 hours time)

Uh oh, I used that cheat.

How long ago was that. I assume you didn't get frozen right?

i've used many codes not on the "impossible to get caught" list. You won't get iced, i'm 99% sure.

Ok, i'll beat better than you in 2 hours time =)

[likerobots]

What do you mean time is limited? I doubt it'll take you two hours, i got it in ten minutes, even without the AOB codes i'm sure it wouldn't take more than 30 minutes.
You don't have a "minimum" play time for carnival of terror.

The codes he mentioned in that list are for going for TROPHIES

Sending a normal nonreivewed score won't send up any flags.

I meant that it would look suspicious if my game lasted 100000sec because you need to shoot time powerups to get more time.

[likerobots]

i think you're making this a lot more complicated than it has to be.
Just AOB the game, when you get to 820 points, wait too minutes at the end page and then click send score *yarr*

No it wouldn't. People try 10 to 20 times at this game, and ALL THAT TIME is counted towards the final score send.

Oh really, if that is so then AOB would be safe then.

I don't get why people say to include the times of multiple games you would get reviewed if you sent a perfect score of SHSD above 9 seconds

Just AoB a little over 820 and send. I shot every guy and ended the game a little over 830 on the first game and got the gold BTY( I used all 3 cheats too), you won't run into any problems unless your score is reviewed.

I wasn't telling him to include anything. All I was telling him was that he shouldn't be paranoid about sending an excessively long timed score. Read for context.

[ovonel]

Whats SHSD?

Sorry wrong wording. The times for score sending should not include the time it takes for more than one game.

Whats SHSD?
