MoomUnit Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Kaboom!: 10,495I broke ten thousand for the first time and FINALLY got to see the Mad Bomber's surprised face.(Normally, when the game ends, the Mad Bomber smiles at you.)Suggestion: One bonus point for getting the patch score (3K), and another bonus point for reaching the "surprised face" score (10K).

S.BAZ Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) 3,699 after a few days of warm-up, I've reached a typical "pretty good score" for me.

Spacey Invader Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 182 Got my paddles out excited-like. Step 2 was to search all the closets, overturn my sock drawer, visit the folks to check their attic, go to a fortune teller, ask a Ouija board, all to discover that I simply don't have this game. How the hell do I just not have Kaboom? Kaboom!: 8,330 I'll post a picture for whatever turns out to be my high score later.Thank goodness I have a real Atari and paddles to play this. I can't imagine trying to play it on a keyboard. With this sad knowledge, and the fact that my USB doesn't accept paddles, I endured a few rounds using the touchpad on my Dell Boat Anchor laptop. Touchpad ain't _no_ excuse for a paddle. That is my excuse for this score. That is the story to which I am sticking. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TwentySixHundred Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Pretty good mouse work, Tony! Thanks, although i have to admit there is room for improvement, only played about 10 rounds with each round significantlly improving. 182 Kaboom!

Touchpad ain't _no_ excuse for a paddle. That is my excuse for this score. That is the story to which I am sticking. I did the same thing with the touchpad to begin with, i noticed it has pros and cons. For one i found it to be very precise giving that paddle like feeling (kind of) however the bad side is when trying to add speed. All hell can break loose ie finger slip's or run's into the edge of the touchpad. It's got the brain ticking as i may head down the local electrical store and have a look for different paddle-like gadgets i can wire to USB. The knob design is great but a slider of some sort keeps springing to mind, see what happens. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TwentySixHundred Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Kaboom! Game: 1BB Score: 918 Mouse does not seem to handle the rapid movements after 4th wave, somehow managed to pull off a 918. Not sure about making a paddle-like controller either, i feel it could be a form of cheating after thinking about it. Anyway i wanna crack the 1,000 mark with the mouse for my own little challenge however not sure if it's possible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacey Invader Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 691 Aha! The local used game shop, complete with urine aroma and located in the basement of a shady laptop repair shop I'm pretty sure sells drugs, had a copy. What's more, the label doesn't even have those weird Activision pockmarks. Got a copy of Chuck Noris' 2600 game, 'cause how can you not, given the opportunity? The bad news is the improvement from touchpad to real paddle isn't nearly as striking as I'd expected. I vow to break 1,000. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, that place sounds like a real classic. Reminds me of a basement nightclub I used to frequent back in the day. At one point the clogged toilet in the men's room was completely removed, leaving a hole into which everybody would urinate.

S.BAZ Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 3,836 I think I may be getting better I think Ry Guy & RJ are two different players & RJ reports Ry Guy's scores for him, like how DT Kofoed reported Rainbow Kitty's scores in the past. if that's not right RJ, please let us know! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacey Invader Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 1177 Broke 1,000, and not without sweating. Increments of 10 at a time. Might not be done, either -- oh, the excitement. Haha, that place sounds like a real classic. Reminds me of a basement nightclub I used to frequent back in the day. At one point the clogged toilet in the men's room was completely removed, leaving a hole into which everybody would urinate. Congrats on your find! The don't make nightclubs like that anymore! I've long suspected that my gameshop had a former life as a speakeasy or something. Paddle > touchpad, thank god they had it. (maybe in September I can give Mr. Norris a shot -- don't tell Chuck he's on the back burner!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
