I'll get things off to a start

150K start :-o :thumbsup:

I managed 106,770 but need to get into the zone. Level 1 bonus 2,215 :)

 

 

MC+ 78,450 not bad, but not as intense as the firing sounds are missing and your less worried about the missile base, but not bad for a bonus game; certainly a lot better than the usual selections here :ponder:

MC+

I played using the Trak-Ball and used the keys for firing from each base; was fun but could do with option for the keys being on left side of keyboad... game really misses the sounds :_(

Doing MC+ on my PAL(ish) 800, if it matters for the bonus game. Main game on NTSC.

 

I really shouldn't switch-hit PAL-NTSC like this, the speed difference is really noticeable, especially in the early, slow rounds. Makes a huge difference in timing and it's quite an adjustment going back and forth. Oh well, I'll deal.

 

Still have to dig out and tune-up my trak-ball - the fire button needs attention. It was fine for Millipede, where I was just holding it down constantly - but doesn't register every tap. Need the timing for Missile Command!

I haven't played this version yet, but typically I can play Missile Command for hours straight and roll the score.

Good we need someone drafted in to kick McKong's butt on this one ;-)

Lives depend on it :D

I rather the 5200 control for these, but I'll give these some serious play time. :)

Don't suppose the 5200 controller works on the A8? and would it allow individual bases to fire on MC+? If so that would be :cool:

Does anyone have any more info on this 'hack' (apart from what is on atarimania?) :?:

MC 157,850 getting close McKong :grin:

MC Level 1: 2,245 (play this as part of your normal goes folks, more fun that way)

post-19705-0-57077300-1382638999_thumb.jpg

MC+ 86,540 - I'm finding this harder than the normal game; think it's down to the missle timing /distance variations between the bases when you are taking out the wedgies :-o

Not sure since I don't (yet) have a programmable cart for my 5200. I do know that my regular MC games score twice as high with the 5200 stick, but for smart-bomb mode; the regular cx-40 gives my best scores.

159,575... my daily 1K missile command improvement ;-)

post-19705-0-37892600-1382807504_thumb.jpg

MC+ 104,845 - another reason it's tougher is it gets hard to guard all your missile bases so usually the one gets taken out that is on the opposite side to you and it's full off ammo... cracked 100K so I am pleased but think it might be tough to get much further :ponder:
