Anyone want to try a new PM4 game? - Beta Testers Wanted!

Concept2 is pleased to offer you, our valued customer, a chance to prevue a new PM4 game for a limited time.

To download:
http://www.concept2.com/products/pm3/te ... beta11.exe

Main Menu -> Games -> Darts
You get 5 "warmup" strokes. Then, row consistently for 300 strokes (throw 300 darts). If you are very consistent and hit the "bullseye" on each stroke you will get most points. The target is self-centering (adaptive), that is it adjusts to new paces eventually, but changing pace will negatively affect your score.

Main Menu -> Games -> Target Training -> Just Play
Same as Darts, except it's a "Just Row" so you can go as long as you want. Score is presented as a % of possible score.

Main Menu -> Games -> Target Training -> Advanced
Same as Just Play above, but instead of adapting to your pace and SPM you must type in the Pace/500, SPM, and duration of the workout.

Please either post your comments here; any real "bug" reports can either be posted here or emailed to support (at) c2vt (.) com.

Please note that there are known issues with this beta in relation to foreign language translations. If you are multi-lingual, please feel free to report any problems you find in case we haven't found them yet...

Fun little program, as long as you want feedback regarding how inconsistent you are at holding a rate or pace. :wink:

Definitely a new challenge, and is also somewhat of a distraction for those that don't find the PM endlessly entertaining.
Erg on,

I like the concept, so I hope you'll do a PM3 version. The fish game is fun, but for a work-out, it is too "herky-jerky" in my opinion - fast, slow, stop, start. That's not the way I prefer to row.

The PM3 is out of memory space. The Fish Game and Venue racing code just about filled it up! I'm sorry, but at this time there are no plans to put any additional games in the PM3.

c2scott,

My kids were happily using the dart game from version 18 beta 11, but when my software told me that there was a new update for the PM4 (bringing it to version 19), and I installed it, the new games disappeared! Do I just use your new link (for version 19 beta 2) to get the dart game back?

Yes. As the game was not ready to release but there were important updates in Ver 19, we published without the game. Sorry for the confusion.
