STARBUG Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 54 minutes ago, carlsson said: At first I thought the Pterry would remain in play all the time until you killed it, but I happily noticed it goes away after you finished a such round. If it has stayed on screen until you killed it, the game probably would have become far more difficult in later stages. Yeah, for sure. And actually, the further you get in Expert (and I assume the other levels eventually), the quicker the Pterries come. I killed them late on in previous games, only to have one respawn after about 15 or 20 seconds. Towards the end of my high score game, I'd say almost every way was a Pterry wave. It was madness! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graywest Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Playing on Expert, my best score was 134300. That's similar to my arcade best, and Expert seems pretty close to the way I remember the arcade version playing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Even more backlogging, before I was participating: HSC13 Round 1 Ixion: 29 players Round 2 Zybex: 21 players HSC12 Round 1 Jr Pac-Man: 39 players (!) Round 2 Gyruss: 36 players HSC11 Round 1 Atari Invaders & AE: 24 players Round 2 Bristles: 17 players It makes me wonder what the record is for the A8 HSC, if there ever were 40+ players in a single round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marius Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Skilled 128050 Killed zero of those brown 'dragons' ... I never manage to kill them. I hope this still counts. I am glad to be in HSC again. I love the single game per round. Easier to follow and join for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
