Spacey Invader Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 49,550 I've found the secret to achieving my highest scores.....play at three in the morning. You're giving me flashbacks to adolescence. You are forever young -- I usually hit some point of diminishing returns these days, not that it always stops me from trying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) I've seen Mark's review of this game on Classic Game Room and knew it was pretty damn good. But after finally playing it, I can safely say, it's pretty damn awesome. I'm impressed. Juno First (B/A): 88,250. 119,050. Place is getting rather crowded after 100k...

karokoenig Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 New score: 136,050. And probably the end of the line for me. That's some intense action right there. I noticed that the collision detection is pretty lenient sometimes. Not complaining about it. The game is murderous enough as it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep forgetting that I'm looking at 2600 graphics, it looks like an actual arcade game after a few minutes. maybe the truest arcade conversion?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KaeruYojimbo Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 There's a human? . When you shoot the asteroid or whatever it's called the white shape that appears is the human. Pick him up and you go into Hyperspace for a few seconds. The enemies don't shoot and are worth progressively more points. 131,000 161,000 171,650 243,400 257,350 Juno First (1BA) 257350.jpg scoring tip: in the early waves, leave many alien ships alive until you pick up the human, so you can blast them for more bonus points. when it gets harder, don't bother unless it's easy to pick up. awesome game!!

Juno First is on the list of games that are going to be at the Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show up in Tacoma. Hoping I'll be able to go up there and play it (amongst other things) on the original machine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voodoo_chilly Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Impressive S.BAZ!!! and you just edged past the HSC record to boot. On another note about the game...the quality of this is top-notch. Even the "attract-mode" music sounds very complex for an Atari 2600 game.

StanJr Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 85300 Just not my game. I want to like it, but the longer I play it, the less I find I can tolerate it. LOTS of cheap deaths. Technically, it's a marvel. But just not my game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoomUnit Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Juno First: 160,450 (Wave 16) Do you get an extra ship at 200K? S.BAZ?This game keeps you on your toes, because if you play cautiously, then you run out of time/fuel.Has anyone played in continue mode? Is there an end? A wave limit?

StanJr Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 111750 Finally broke 100K. The extra ship is pretty useless. It would be more helpful at 50K. Likely I'm done for this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
