patbb Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Anybody using the roller controller to play this one. I will try my Wico trackball this weekend, I'll keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangia-Boy Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I don't have a roller controller. This is again a good game choice by Ikrananka, level 2 is very tough to play. My score: 54.900. One great run in about 10 tries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectorGamer Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Anybody using the roller controller to play this one. I will try my Wico trackball this weekend, I'll keep you posted. I do. If you don't have one I would recommend picking one up. You can use it for more than the traditional trackball games like Star Wars, Space Fury, Carnival & SubRoc.

VectorGamer Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 35,461 I would've snapped a pic but I played the easy version first which was on the high score list.

I started my gaming session on Easy then switched to Standard. Because my High Score listed was over 50K achieved on Easy, I did not snap a photo. So therefore, my score achieved on Standard difficulty is 35,461. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobZu7zu7 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Virtual Colecovision, is not a good emulation... I'm not gonna use that for HSC... centipedes collision detection is, twice as difficult. Got much better score with MEKA Sega emulation it's also a Colecovision...

chuckwalla Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 30,510 That spider makes the game SO difficult - can we get a hack to include some DDT to whack that guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skosh Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 The way the spiders behave in this version makes me play the game entirely different from the arcade. Spiders should not be allowed to crawl along the bottom like that. Is it just me or is it overall faster than playing the arcade? Perhaps it is just due in part to having less rows to traverse and the fact I am getting old. In this setting you get scorpions immediately and makes for a challenge right away. 56,173 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) 40,872 50,029 just hit 50ks...! I like this centipede because it's faster and a bit different, yet... I am slighty annoyed by the fact it's different and not like Atari console versions. lol This game is an a-hole basically.
