Miss 2600 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Those who are rolling Atlantis will be on top of the combined score list, that's for sure. I, unfortunately, am having a tough time. 33,200 is the highest score I've managed so far: And I improved a little on Kaboom with a score of 2,411: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keilbaca Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Improved on my Squeeze Box Score: 16,600! How in the hell? Seems like after a certain level the game is practically unbeatable. The walls just come in too quick. Tips please! Hmmm. I just seen Kaboom! is X20 on points. I just might have to see if I can finally get 100k on the game.

ClassicGMR Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Kaboom - 71 - CANNOT play this without paddles. I should invest in a Stelladaptor. Squeeze Box - 4,410 - never played before. I like this one. Atlantis - 454,800 - I used to be better with this but emulation isn't the same. Astroblast - 4,360 - Who in their right mind would play Astroblast that way voluntarily?

Miss 2600 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) This is probably all I can "squeeze" out of Squeeze Box. I don't know how that record holder got 654,000+ (whatever it was) Squeeze Box: 15,730 keilbaca: Try milking as much as you can out of each screen. There is a point of no return though when the blocks keep coming across the entire wall, so be careful. Deteacher may have better tips, though. I wish my paddles worked better so I could improve my Astroblast score, but they jitter too much although they work good enough for Kaboom. Using a joystick, I'm not even getting close to my personal high score anymore (don't know how I got it to begin with) let alone anyone else's.

Using a joystick, I'm not even getting close to my personal high score anymore (don't know how I got it to begin with) let alone anyone else's. No, my tips are pretty much the same. Get as much as you can on the early levels. I don't know if letting the walls grow in while they're moving slow is any help, but it seems to help boost my score...not sure if I can top 20K like Scrabbler, but I'm sure going to try. I also need to work on my Kaboom! score. Last time we played it, I cracked 10K. Now I can't even get half that. Maybe it's because I'm playing on a larger screen. Glad we have another week to play...no better time than the present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 KA-BOOM! 50,755 For jittery paddles, I just unscrew the bottom and spray a little WD40 in the bottom of the pot and work 'em real fast for a minute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrabbler15 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I have an obvious soft spot in my heart for Astrosmash. When I saw the 2600 version on the list for this week, that was one I really wanted to play. Since I didn't have the cart, I plugged my paddles into my Stelladaptor and fired up the emulator. The bad news was the continually spinning scoreboard and the game not playing at all with the paddles. (I still don't know how I got 2900 with a joystick.) The good news was the two-week window for playing this time. So I order an Astroblast cart, which arrived today. I don't know what kind of score I'll end up with, but it's gonna be a lot of fun to see how I can do on this one. First score from using the hardware: 4100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing score. I hope to catch up to you... I tried tonight to no avail. I didn't even break 10k... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Ok, I managed to improve enough on a couple scores to make them worth posting: Kaboom!: 6,378! (I'm finally starting to find my groove on this one...I think I can break 10K again.) Astroblast: 18,970! (I'm thinking this was more of a lucky run because all games after this weren't even close to this score.) Looks like I need to get back to work on Squeeze Box now.
