hcmffm Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 (edited) Pretty quiet, here, these days. Perhaps the cold attics or the Vector War or the poll in America or dark season or ... . Anyway, I'll post a score tonight to break the silence.

TheCurlyBard Posted December 2 Author Share Posted December 2 Nice going guys Is there some bonus scoring that I've not noticed, or do I just suck at surviving?? I'll post the next game in a bit, looking forward to firing it up Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/374890-vectrex-hsc-nov-2024-every-day-is-halloween/#findComment-5577195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
playvectrex Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 Extra lives are awarded pretty frequently, so you just have to stay alive for a few levels and get more. But pretty easy to lose all lives on one level if you get into a funk. I would die two or three times on one level and start yelling at myself... "DON'T CHOKE!!!!" lol Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/374890-vectrex-hsc-nov-2024-every-day-is-halloween/#findComment-5577314 Share on other sites More sharing options...
