+mizapf Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Oh ... wrong platform. Edit: This is a screenshot from MAME as well, running "Space Invaders" on an Atari 2600 console. TI Invaders is obviously much more elaborated, but this Space Invaders is just 4K in size, while TI Invaders is 4 KiB ROM + 6 KiB GROM. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/241547-high-score-competition-dec-lunar-mission-2/page/155/#findComment-5485451 Share on other sites More sharing options...

globeron Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 11,723. (2 rows of blue inchworms). (At 3,000 and 10,000 you get an extra spaceship) and in the other level shooting the red spaceship the max I can hit is till 100 point so far. 4 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/241547-high-score-competition-dec-lunar-mission-2/page/155/#findComment-5486934 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 BTW, do you know that in TI invaders, the easy level can be selected by pulling the joystick left, while the hard level is joystick right? Also, Redo and Back work all the time while the defect base is being replaced by a new one, and instead of Redo/Back at the Game over screen, you can also press 8 or 9. 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/241547-high-score-competition-dec-lunar-mission-2/page/155/#findComment-5487092 Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrodroid Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Wow! Downright Nasty mode really is! It has been fun to revisit this old classic. Back in the day I could play seemingly endless games (on Merely Aggressive mode), level after level. I remember one time my sister and her friends watched me play for like 15 minutes in awe of my brilliance. lol. As an adult I now appreciate just how well done this game is. It is a complete package, it does everything it needs to very well. The sounds effects are terrific and the pacing and sounds really amp up the intensity as things progress. The saucer challenges between levels are a nice break/de-stressor between the levels. Very well rounded and implemented game for the era, and the gameplay totally holds up today. A true classic. 5 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/241547-high-score-competition-dec-lunar-mission-2/page/155/#findComment-5487641 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+OLD CS1 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 16029. I was soooo off tonight, when I finally hit this score I just said "screw it." (In not so nice terms -- good thing I do not stream what I have to say during some of these games.) See the link above for the replay. The winning game starts around 1:12:50, plays until around 1:23:22 (I think my local recording time and the stream time differ a little.) Yeah. I played over an hour before I could get my legs under me. 8 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/241547-high-score-competition-dec-lunar-mission-2/page/155/#findComment-5489504 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 That looks like a clear win for you @OLD CS1! Congratulations! Actually, I found a high score list I set up in 2013, where I noted a score of 16817 that I reached that year for TI Invaders/hard. However, we all know Aesop's words, Αὐτοῦ γὰρ καὶ Ῥόδος καὶ πήδημα. Also, I reached that score with 50 Hz, and we already noticed that this is a huge difference to 60 Hz. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/241547-high-score-competition-dec-lunar-mission-2/page/155/#findComment-5495381 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually want to see about getting a higher score sometime, because I understand some of my failures in the game. But, not this month. For July, I am going to push Midnight Mason (aka Midnite Mason.) This is one of my favorite games, and one of the first ones I purchased with my own earnings. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/241547-high-score-competition-dec-lunar-mission-2/page/155/#findComment-5495415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
