Super High Impact (shimpact)

Post by Barthax »

Could someone please explain why Super High Impact (shimpact) was archived? I have looked through the board but have been unable to locate a reason.

There are some significantly worse versions of American Football out there. (Why football? It's played with the hands!)

I believe the game was considered 'non working' for a long time due to some strange bug which caused the game to end prematurely etc. (I could be wrong)

Known bugs:
* Super Hi Impact freaks out during play

is listed in the driver anyway, maybe it got fixed at some point, I haven't kept track of it myself.

Thanks for the reply. Would it be possible to reopen it.

Perhaps you can answer this also: Why do some of the American Football games show score lines where a perfectly good points-system is available (High Impact for example)? Score lines do not differenciate between terrible game play with luck & good skill (i.e., 7-35 compared to 7-0).

I'm english, I don't have a clue how to play American Football so I can't be much help with that one ;-) if its what the game designers chose then I guess thats just the way it is, if its a marp scoring system I don't know. Our Football is the game you play using your feet which Americans would call soccer .. :-p

The scoring system I was referring to was indeed the MARP system - fair enough if you don't know. :)

BTW: I'm Welsh, there just isn't many rugby games out there, so the next best thing is... definitely not (our) football. :D

Super High Impact act strangely when you have to do the Field Goal attempt.

As for the scoring system for American Football in MARP,it hasn't discussed yet...
