Kenwood Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Anyone ever reach the maximium 999,999 points on any of the Activision games that can? Several of the Activision Manuals said to send in a pix. I wonder if you got anything special, other than a patch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffVav Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 The only ones I remember maxing out now were Chopper Command and Laserblast. I wrote in both times with shots of the screen. For Chopper Command I got a non-form letter that apologised for there being no special reward plus a second Chopper Commandos patch. For Laserblast there was a special badge 1,000,000 points badge that's well documented elsewhere on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fellow Atari Man Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Laser Blast and H. E. R. O. here. Nowhere near good enough for Kaboom! (haven't even broken 8K yet ), Megamania, Seaquest, Keystone Kapers, Frostbite... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Chopper Command and I think Kaboom. But Kaboom was several years later. For Chopper Command all I got was a patch. Don't remember what the letter said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/i] Yeah, Todd is an amazing game player. You can always go to http://www.beatthechamp.com/ and read more about him. Kind of interesting I think, just because I couldn't even fathom having that good of hand-eye coordination. I think he is from a different planet or something.

D.Yancey Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I scored 999,999 or 1,000,000 on quite a few Activision titles myself. I got patches for all my scoring achievments. Laser Blast was the only one for which I received a special patch. In the manual, Kaboom! mentioned a special reward if one scored 999,999, but I've never heard from anyone who got more than just the Bucket Brigade patch. They also would mention people in the Activisions newsletter for these great scores. Some of the easier games had far to many people max the score to mention all the names, but I did manage to make the newsletter twice! It probably would have been more times but issue 7 came out about the same time I maxed a bunch of games. Activison sent me forms to fill out to be mentioned as one of their world record holders again. I returned all their forms, but no more newsletters were ever released.

Goochman Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Laser Blast (got a patch and lost it) and Chopper Command in my 2nd 2600 life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuzenTCA Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I have never maxed out a score on an Activison game, but about 9 years ago I was reading a Pitfall! manual and saw and advertisement about the 20,000 points or more club. So I played and eventually got like 58,000 before I got board and eventually died. I then sent the screenshot in and my information like it asked. About a month later I got back a weird letter staing that, that club was no longer in service and neither was the offer. I framed the letter and keep it in my office as a mo-mentoe. It made laugh because I never even figured I would get a response. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy_Whelan Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 In the manual, Kaboom! mentioned a special reward if one scored 999,999, but I've never heard from anyone who got more than just the Bucket Brigade patch. Maybe it was me, but I assumed the 'special reward' would happen on the screen. I've never seen the Kaboom! screen with a max score, so I don't know for certain. I scored the max on Laser Blast, Megamania, and Chopper Command. Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
