I have to play this one with analog joystick as my trackball button is not consistently firing. No digital option either for this one.

[MIKE5200]

I like the 2600 version better. I to need the trackball!

I just had a go at it.

Sorry, wrong picture-- that was on Atari 800. This is for Atari 5200.

I think my lighting in my room needs to be turned off before I take the pictures.

 

Played once more today. I need to find more time to play consecutively since that usually helps.

You're still not holding onto screenshots from when we played Missile Command in the 8 Bit HSC are you? lol

I think it might help if you turn the flash off.

 

I couldn't tell if that was a 7 or a 9. I put you down for 109,925

Good! someone's returning fire. I'll start on the next salvo of canister.

Actually, I use the Atari 800/8-bit high scores for common games as a reference to try to beat when I play similar A5200 games. Missile Command I thought I could beat as I didn't play it that much in 8-bit HSC.

It's correct: 109,925. Missed bonus by 75 points. Note that all of my scores have been close to the bonus at the end of the game: 69K, 79K, 99K, 109K, and just playing recently I got 89K a few times.

Playing on an emulator is very tough.

If you're using the atari800winplus emulator, set mouse to joystick and enable mouse capture.
