Any joystick or keyboard is fine! Pics are encoraged here, however I WILL accept a no pic score. Anyone can jump in and play for a High Score and Ranking, if they like... Every score will be counted for the High Score Challenge also, even if you're not entered in the Winter 2600 Knockout. Everyone starts each game with a score of ZERO, one goal is to get above 0... or get a high score, if you don't you will be eliminated and the lowest score earned of the active KO players, is safe! A KING status will be awarded at the end of every round winner, as well as rankings and points. First place gets +15 points! From there on, 1+ less... For the K.O., you need not win, just not finish LAST! Let the battle begin... THIS GAME IS ALSO OPEN FOR HIGH SCORE CLUB POINTS AND RANKING!

LidLikesIntellivision Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) I had this game in my atari! I hope I can do well this week . Last week was like Laser Gates and the 4th detonator, I almost got there Deteacher really had some reasons to worry. What a incredible score DtKofoed achieved! Now it's time to put my week scores and latest snapshot: 1) 79,910 (Mon) 2) 95,900 3) 143,450 4) 169,090 5) 173,020 6) 181,820 (Wed) 7) 187,980 8.) 193,460 (Thu) 9) 203,500 10) 224,180 11) 240,750 (Sat) 12) 247,500 (Sun) 13) 317,760 Edited April 29, 2012 by Liduario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) I'll put in my first showing for this game: 56,200! This attempt was playing in emulation with keyboard controls. I knew I should have brought my CX-40/Stelladaptor to work with me today. This is tough to play without a joystick.

Deteacher Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Ok, I have to stop trying to play this with the keyboard now. More than doubled my score, but my hand is killing me now: 118,000! I'll play with real hardware tonight. That ought to boost my score some more. I forgot how hard (and fun) this game is. Great pick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vocelli Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Wow! I made it again! SIX players left! I am not a big Frogger fan but the game was not boring either so last week was ok. This is where I predict this weeks low score. But first... Last weeks' game Frogger. I did a bit better on the prediction. I predicted 2550 for the low score and this is how it ended. 5,613 - DT Kofoed 1st 4,063 - Deteacher 2nd 3,999 - Jifremok 3rd 3,759 - JacobZu7zu7 4th 3,670 - Vocelli 5th 3,576 - toymailman 6th 2,813 - Gorfy 7th I wasn't too far off. And look the top 2 players finished at the bottom! Now that high score, once again, is truely a feat of greatness! Onward to Seaquest. What a fun game. Activision was amazing back in the day! Not much to say about the game but pure fun! Now we are down to the last six players. The competition will be fierce. So I predict the low score will be... 220,000 maybe even higher! C'mon, we are talking about the top players here. Lets see what happens. I imagine that ANYONE could be gone. Practice, practice, practice! My first score.

Deteacher Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 First go around with a joystick: 153,850! Wow! This gets hard fast! It's going to be a fun and challenging week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 174,790! Ok, this game is a bit of a hand cramper. Gotta take breaks between games. Ouch! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 41,000 The sound it makes when you lose a sub sounds like something I'd do when I get angry. I wonder if there's a sound file of that sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrabbler15 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 162,380 I agree with Deteacher. This game is the most fun a player can have while getting every bit of their hand strength sucked out of their fingernails. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobZu7zu7 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 217,760 UGH! I was headed for the surface, when a shot hit me... didn't see it coming the speed is so fast here... This game is a bit repetitive, "one note"... but at least it's a pretty fun one note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrabbler15 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 181,760 I noticed that the fish formations are very Stampedesque. One fish, two fish close togther, two fish changing colors, two fish wide apart, three fish close together. I was looking for a Black Angus fish to get big bonus points, but then I remembered that I don't know how to throw a lasso underwater, anyhow. .
