Tempest Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Just playing this awesome game today. Made it to level 26. Has anyone ever made it to the 32 level? Yep. I did it at one of the game shows (VGE?) a few years ago (Live! No emulator save states!) Check out the last pictures: http://www.atariprotos.com/5200/software/xariarena/83083.htm The last level was TOUGH! I only had a bonus of 64, which isn't that many bricks (I think I had 3 or 4 left). My computer partner died around the mid 20's. My final score was 261,776. Truth be told, I was shocked as all hell when I did it. I was just showing someone with me how to play it and then kept going... Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I was there for this! It was pretty awesome watching Tempest finish a game I had never seen before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82atari5200 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 That's pretty awesome. My computer partner died around 23 not bad for a 20 something year old A.I. I wasted my fire extinguishers too early in the game. Has to be one of my favorite 5200 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I was there for this! It was pretty awesome watching Tempest finish a game I had never seen before. Yup. It was a great moment. I just wish I had taken better pictures. We really need to try it again. Somebody should send the pictures to the programmer. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuppicide Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I was just going to ask if he mailed pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 And the funny thing is that I haven't played the game since. Good times... I'm always up to try it again. IIRC I was playing my own personal prototype of the game at the time, I guess I'll have to try it on a multi-cart now. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest That reminds me, did you ever release your 5200 ROM collection? I know you said something about it when you released your 2600 proto ROM collection but I don't remember seeing it.

Mitch No I haven't gotten around to it. I really need to though. First I need to look through it and see if there's anything in it that I promised not to release (I don't think so, but I need to check).

Tempest Cool, it would be nice to see those and the 8-bit computer ones too. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Cool, it would be nice to see those and the 8-bit computer ones too. Those are a bit trickier because I know I have some DNR games in there (Risk being one of them). I didn't have many new 8-bit protos though, I mostly collected 5200.
