Atari5200 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) We will go a little rarer this round. The game is Zaxxon. I've never played the 5200 version, but I enjoy pretty much every other version of the game I've played. So lets get flying and shooting to the high score this round. Darthkur has 2 wins in a row, who will stop the streak? SCREEN SHOT Competition will end on 07-07-2008 Current Leader board updated 06/27/2008 11:58am est. Darthkur: 87700 doctorclu: 76650 Mike5200: 1650 Edited June 27, 2008 by Atari5200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) 45,300 I've played the ColecoVision version of Zaxxon extensively but very little on the 5200. It's a bit different and a definite thumb cramper with the stock controller. EDIT: 65,750 Did a bit better. I'm glad that the collision detection between the force fields and brick walls is much more forgiving than that of the arcade version. It's hard to tell exactly where your plane is positioned. Even with the gauge at the side. Edited June 23, 2008 by darthkur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthkur Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 great scores darth! are you using 5200 stock controllers on a 5200 system or emulation? not that it really matters but i was just curious. i really need to get back and play :-) Thanks. I use the four port 5200 that I purchased back when it was new and the original controllers it came with. I have replaced the flex circuits with NOS Rev 9's but really do need to update to the gold dot ones soon. Darthkur wins again!! congrats. Much obliged.
