HammR25 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 That's what I do. Make my way to the cone and kind of camp for the first 15 levels. Then after that I just try to avoid being hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xZanU Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I tried camping and did see some point advantages early on (Extra man at level 5 and 10), but lost my cool on Level 12, did not break 200k. I still have time though : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atarifever Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I figured out not one, but two good strategies last night. I got just shy of 200,000, but it was in an earlier level than I usually crack that score, so I may have another score in me yet. Still, there's something annoying me about this game. It's great fun, but unlike Galaga, Q-Bert, and Donkey Kong, there doesn't seem to be "that game" where everything you've learned clicks and suddenly your score explodes. This one is more like Dig Dug, where you slowly but surely eke out a few more points here and there by having to be perfect over and over, level after level.

Atarifever Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 260,100 (I know I had 260,000 and then hit at least one guy, and then died. I reached for the camera before pausing, and by the time I rached for pause it wouldn't stop. Hoping it doesn't matter, because I'm hoping to top this. I still have it on down there, so if anyone knows how I can get to see the score in the next little while, I'll get a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarifever Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Here's one of my replays. I'm not proud of the scoring in this one, but it was a fun level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xZanU Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 221,500 Sweet! I know I can do better, with a 1yr old swatting the TV and a 3ry old hitting me, just think of what could be accomplished if they were in the other room! : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xZanU Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 278,900 Level 24 None the less, granted I got to Level 21 with 5 guys left, but as my luck would have it the chef spawn points were one above one below one in front of me For 3 consecutive rounds > Then after that misfortune I made it through to level 24. My most fun game ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Sauron Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 375,300 I think it was at level 28 when it ended, although the score and level disappear too quickly when the game ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I noticed it when I thought the lights were some kind of rapid fire bannanas). Well yes on both accounts. There is a tree in the reflection and the end board is sort of shaped like one too. I may get one more round in today (Played twice this morning with a best of 250,900) so there is still another chance for more reflecting ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suaiden Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 For the brief moment. I just discovered the secret to become a 194K player from 70K in two short games....foodfight194200.bmp Hmmm, curious : ) I may give it a whirl, and perhaps camp the cone area. Oh, that wasn't it. I didn't mention it. The secret was turning the sound off and putting the "Gain Ground" theme in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keitaro Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 323500 I don't have a camera now, so I tried a emulator (in windows, urgh) and the game hangs at level 20 It's late to try again, go to bed ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sauron Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 792,400 - Level 35 I'm so pissed that I didn't have a camera available when I finally died, nor could I believe that I got anywhere near as far as I did.

Anyways, at least I have a witness. It would not matter if you didn't have a witness. The way I see it, no one on here would lie about their score, as there's nothing to be gained by doing so. In the end, anyone who wanted to lie about their score to nine or ten other people so they could win exactly nothing would not be the kind of person to play Atari. Amazing score by the way.
