+DamonicFury Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Welcome to the thirteenth round of the 14th 5200 HSC season! Vanguard tied the poll (with Q*Bert), but won the coin toss. Play using the default settings. (Rapid Fire is allowed however.) Just play through one pass of the game, don’t use the continue option. Emulation is fine, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records. The high score was set by Nuclear Pacman with 232,970 points. Bust it if you can for a bonus point!

rubeon Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 26,190 Really decent version but much harder than the arcade classic owing to the slow ship movement.

But only for a limited and random number of times. This adds a fun "press-your-luck" element to that level!
