The DreadNaught Factor?!

[+DarkLord]

Okay, I knew I had this lying around somewhere and I finally found it. A

picture of a score I made while playing The DreadNaught Factor. I took

the picture because, IIRC, at the time you could send the picture in to

the company and get a cool patch. I found the picture, but unfortunately,

I've been unable to find that darned patch.

 

Alas, my photography skills at that time were very sub-optimal. It's a

Polaroid shot, and the camera flash hides the first digit(s) of the score.

 

This was probably around 1984...

 

I can't remember what score was needed to get the patch? Anyway, I

have very fond memories of this game and a lot of time spent playing

it.

You had to complete mission 4 (or higher).

If you are such a fan of the game, I would recommend "T.D. Factor II", which is a modified version created by fandal.

I am not even sure if those polaroids even allowed to turn off the flash.... I think I have a single screenshot from my whole Atari career.

I believe you're right but I can't figure out why I didn't reposition and retake the shot after seeing that the actual score

was hidden by the reflection of the flash.

 

Guess I was excited and in a hurry to get that patch.
