Rickster8 Posted May 6, 2023 Author Share Posted May 6, 2023 My First attempt at the TIMED Astrosmash.... I played the rom where you just punch in the time (30 Minutes) and the game just goes from there and then it quits when the time is up. Pretty cool, I wish they had a TIMED version of Space Hawk as well..... 30 MINUTE TIMED ASTROSMASH - DISC LEVEL - 146,945 POINTS!!! - PATCHED!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster8 Posted May 19, 2023 Author Share Posted May 19, 2023 I played this game a few days ago and I can honestly say I'm NOT a big fan of it. Crash death after crash death after crash death, RINSE AND REPEAT. This game is a thrill ride of stress and anxiety. Things I need LESS of in my life right now. Going forward I will only be playing Space Hawk and Utopia. I'M DONE WITH THIS ONE!!!! 🤬 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gar0u Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Ran out of lives 20m in. Probably the most room for improvement on this game. I tend to play Astrosmash and Space Hawk slow and cautious to rack up a high score. 30m time limit really changes thing! That score is 40,190. Badly timed picture!

jimblargh Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) Hey @Rickster8 Quick question - Is Evercade an acceptable way to play for the HSC? I know the rules and regs allow for emulation, and Evercade offers very high quality and streamlined emulation. Obviously save states are off the table. I ask because I am headed out of town this afternoon and it would be pretty cumbersome to bring my Inty 2 or Sears Super Video Arcade with me. I have an evercade handheld though, and Astrosmash is on Intellivision collection 1! Edited May 26, 2023 by jimblargh Wording 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimblargh Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 64,155 falling quasars! 30 minute challenge So I packed my Evercade to go out of town...and then forgot my Inty 1 cartridge 😛 The good news is I figured out how to run inty games on the Argon emulator for android. So I leveled up my emulation game today! Also this just in: You all are really good at Astrosmash! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobZu7zu7 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 The Bliss emulator is really easy to use, but also unable to use some newer ROMS.... Which is a good INTV emulator for use with newer roms, and on Windows 10 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a good INTV emulator for use with newer roms, and on Windows 10 ? Bliss doesn't read .cfg files, it uses its own database for cartridge memory maps. If you have a newer bin+cfg rom it can be converted to intellicart .rom format to run in Bliss. Jzintv is the most accurate and was the most supported.

Tried 3 or 4 Intellivision emulators, none are loading the games after install... Can't write start.bat (JZintv) (Nostalgia 5.0) loads for a half second and shuts off. (Bliss) plays other games, but doesn't load these timed games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
