Atari5200 Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) 14575 so far is the best I can do. I can't get past wave 4. EDIT: 20550, but still can't get past wave 4, just got lucky and all the humans were real close that I could run and save and get big points.

Don't have the dual controller holder, but I gave it a go with my Wico. Best I could get was 18,000.

+Cafeman Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I made my own dual stick holder years ago -- cardboard and Red Green's fave, duct tape! I just checked and my Robotron 5200 ROM doesn't work. Gotta get a fresh ROM. Know what? I just realized - I have never played Robotron on 5200. Maybe tomorrow night I can try it out and post a score..

Brian R. Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) 23,225 And I honestly I have no experience with this game. I'm not even sure what I'm doing, or what's what, beyond the basics. Update: 32,725 There's gotta be someone out there who's actually good at this game. I know I'm not! Edited July 18, 2007 by Brian R.

eegt97 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I'm at 39,175 for my top score so far. I'm inconsistent as hell with it. Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/110254-atari-5200-hsc-round-8-robotron-2084/#findComment-1335406 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) Okay, tried in in Atari800win. Use my logitech to move and had to use the arrow keys to fire. It works but I wish there was a way to use the right stick to fire. It seems like a decent version but less intense than the coin-op.

jetset Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Wow does nobody like the 5200 or something? Atari5200, if you need help running this let me know. Anything to get interest in the 5200 is a good thing!

BydoEmpire Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I was out of town all weekend (though I did pick up Robotron for the 7800). Next week for sure!

Lord Helmet Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Wow does nobody like the 5200 or something? I just don't have a good way of playing this game (I only have 1 working 5200 stick) I'll be sure to play the next game though. I think the 5200 HSC needs overall rankings like the other HSC.

Brian R. Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 If I got the game, I'll fire up my console and play. Even one I'm not really good at - like this one. I like these things because it helps me pick a game to play, and maybe play one I don't often go for.
