+therealbountybob Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 Sorry Marius that's just a spreadsheet and horrible laptop keyboard typo I know you have an I or two Updated everything ! Starting to work out what's what and survive a bit more - improved to 128,150 then 147,375 wave 14 I think If anyone want's to see how they're doing the https://forums.atariage.com/topic/348454-hsc20-current-standings/ has what you need 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) I wished I was able to play this game with 2 joysticks. Could be easier. With one joystick it is still lots of fun though. Edited February 21 by Marius typo edit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to lock your fire in 1 stick mode? (Like llamatron, etc) If not then 1 stick mode sucks lol Wow it is amazing INDEED! Great setup! Don't you miss the tube television? I find most retro games so much better on a tube TV. The only downside is the space that such a tv consumes... But awesome your setup! So great. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 A hard earned improvement to 185,450 New poll tomorrow! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have a few CRT's in the basement that I still use for old games, etc.. This picture is of my bedroom which I keep a little more minimalist for my own sanity and since my Wife is not crazy about it (Hey, she knew what she was getting into before we got married) I had a CRT at one time hooked up in the bedroom next to the flat screen but it looked too cluttered so I took it out. I will say this is an older flat screen so the resolution isn't as good as newer ones (which I prefer for old games haha) I might put a nice 1702 monitor in my room again though, I really regret selling that one!!

Crazy Climber Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 288,675 I used strong double stick tape and fastened my controllers to a trapper keeper haha. This game plays soooo much better with twin sticks! I'm not super happy with my controller configuration but it will do for now Might ne time to invest in one of those fancy twin sticks... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game plays soooo much better with twin sticks! Nice score! Similar controller solution as mine but used stick on velcro straps on a left over shelf. I am planning to build a wood box from left over shelfing to replicate the Atari provided solution but just have not had the time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed DK Jr (although my score probably puts me in last place anyways haha) (22,100) I didn't grow up with atari computers (was a commodore kid) and am not very familiar with really any of the games, ports outside of this high score club... So far I have this to say... Ms Pac - Great! I really liked this version. Robotron - very smooth, might actually be my favorite (old school) home version Donkey Kong Jr- bah, meh, not crazy about this one. 😄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Tried with two sticks. I think with a bit more practice I could get a much higher score with a 2-stick setup 1-stick 465875 2-sticks 411625 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've pondered on a box for my 2 (modern and not as good) comp pros but for now I'm one stick and with some cray a*sed charging after the brains improved to 299,250 just missed the extra life 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
