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 Yeah just two competition pros on the desk, both missing all their rubber feet so not ideal! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballyalley Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I had time to only play with one Atari 7800 joystick, which I still had trouble getting to work correctly. Ah, well... it's been a long time since I've entered any score at all. I played three or four one-minutes games for a "high score" of 11,500. Does anyone wanna play for lowest score? Does the HSC end Saturday or Sunday evening? I played using my Supreme All-Play 4-8 controller by Edladdin. I didn't try my twin stick X-Arcade, as that acts like a keyboard and I'm not sure how to get Altirra to use it. Adam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 New score! 137000 Still playing with one joystick. Quite a challenge, but I love this game. somehow I have the feeling that I must be able to get a higher score, but it is definitely a trial and error game, hit or miss. Anyway there is still improvement. One of my more favorite games of this moment. Pretty cool. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually this round ends this coming Wednesday evening, February 29 (sic!) at 8 PM UK time. I believe that means March 1, but I'm not entirely sure. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 425,650. My final entry. I'd need a better control setup to do much better - left hand is a handheld Saturn controller for moving, right hand uses arrow keys to fire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
