Intelligentleman Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I'm going to have to sit out River Raid. For some reason it's crazy $$$ on the auction site. I did, however, just nab a copy of Dracula. No box, but has manual and overlays. $26 shipped. Arrives Saturday. Besides, I still need to actually play Dreadnaught Factor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster8 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 2nd River Raid Entry: I find this game to be very hard to score high on. The 35k patch bonus is going to be a 'BATTLE ROYALE' for me to get. Almost halfway there... ? 16,590 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intelligentleman Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Does River Raid have the best title screen of any pre-crash video game? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about every game I can think of only has the standard Intellivision title screen, but this one doesn't. It's very cool! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster8 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 My River Raid Update: A little improvement. More than halfway to the Patch. ? I had a sweet game going and then lost 3 guys really fast at the end. Ugh.... ? 17,840 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntyFanMatt Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Another record. ? 57,340 Looks like when your score passes 50k, the letters turn black on the final screen. Not sure what that’s all about though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster8 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I am terrible at this game. Lol it has become very apparent why I have never ever attempted to fly a plane in real life, nor will I ever attempt it lol.... ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe game 1 is the same as disc since it starts on bridge 1 anyway? All of our posted scores so far are disc since that's what it was all day yesterday. Same as Disc. Starts at Bridge 1, just an update. I don't own the game, so I read the manual to see what this Disc game variation is called. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster8 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 My River Raid Update: Yet another nickel and dime score. I was poised for 20k and then had a ridiculous crash into a boat and fell just short of that score. Ugh!!! ?? This evil game is giving me alot of grief.... ? 19,850 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntyFanMatt Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I figured out why the numbers and letters were black in my score. It’s because I was using the second controller, not because I exceeded 50k. ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
