sloopy Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Greetings all, WSGEXE, Captain Breakout, and I were on the chat here at AA talking about games, and decided to have a small 'challenge' among us, and others who want to play. Rules: The game is Kaboom! by Activision you can play any official activision release of it (i.e. 2600, 8bit computer, 5200) people in the top 5 spots MUST post a pic of their score... the winner gets a 'congrats' from all players and a click on their 'rep' from other players. This challenge ends on June 30th 23:59 Alaska (US) time... and this is my first pic to get it started... thanks, sloopy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBreakout Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 RIght-o. I will be twisting the paddles soon. This is one of those carts I don't have. Anyone got an extra loose cart they would sell me cheap? PM me. -CaptainBreakout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSGEXE Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 This is just for fun. We debated putting it in HSC and decided against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBreakout Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Indeed. What he said. I need the cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSGEXE Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 If I'm reading your score correctly, Sloopy you scored 27,852. For reference, to earn the Activision patch for Kaboom! you had to score at least 3,000 pts. I won't beat this score in my lifetime. And I'm suspicious now that you're a secret Kaboom! master and were just huslting us kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atarilovesyou Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I love Kaboom. I wish I could get past 5k without a friend's assistance (die.....NOW!) to lose a bucket right before gaining a bonus one. Kaboom is so good it demands its own thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynicaster Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I just might have to give this a whirl. Haven't played Kaboom in over a year; hope my paddles aren't too jittery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustygraves. Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 hey man!) kaboom has always been one of those games that so addictive kind of like lays chips-once you start you cant stop with just one(game).it been awhile but i think if i still have a good jitter free set of paddels at least 100,000 score should be possible but only i think after a little practice time maybe a weeks worth(or more). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
