TimsterAA Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Hey all... sorry I missed the last contest - Gyruss is one of my favorites! Been busy here, but took some time to get at least SOME Galaxian in. Here's my first entry. Hopefully to be improved upon. --Timster-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) 9,700 Another one I've not played for donkeys... think I played Galactic Chase as Galaxians was too hard but maybe I just needed some competition to make me try harder Have Fun No it is tooo hard but addictive 11,620 Edited May 24, 2009 by therealbountybob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 First try...21,290 Believe it or not...I prefer this game on the 5200...with the trakball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariksi Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Y'all are funny! I suggest implementing a drug-testing policy for participants. Roadrunner's score should not count (or reduced by 50%) since he's been taking steroids (performance enhancing drugs); haven't you noticed he's been getting higher than normal scores?

Divya16 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 First try...21,290 Believe it or not...I prefer this game on the 5200...with the trakball. But Atari 5200 has bad joysticks unless you use some other joystick for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galaxian was one of the first 5200 games I got back in the day. Me and my brother would play it until the wee hours of the night. So, I'm a bit practiced at it. I could likely do better if not for the stinky 2600 sticks. I prefer the 5200 controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt_Woloch Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Here's my best so far... 11940. I first tired to emulate this with MESS, but that emulator doesn't seem to work too well, it has got a lot of graphical glitches here. The score line on the bottom is invisible, your shot, until engages, is displayed much too high on screen, and you're unable to shoot some of the formation members unless in flight. Seems like there's a lot of graphical trickery going on in order to get the game as colorful as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A800 version launches many missiles at a time as levels proceed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) Well thanks to slightly better tactics (mainly not getting killed so much) 15,040 Just checked me old score sheet and 22k is my pb. The 12 points are definitely available for anybody who puts the goes in over the next two weeks, even Gwobby Hey JellE who's therealbountybon Edited May 25, 2009 by therealbountybob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galaxian is easier on Atari 5200 than Atari 800/XL/XE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
