Ze_ro Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 TIP: When you reach 10.000 points you gain an extra life, now go into space and use your shield to drop your score just below 10,000. Shoot a flare to get back to 10,000 and get another life. Repeat. You can get all 9 of your potential extra lives doing this trick. Yikes! That's certainly cheating... Please don't abuse this to get high score people. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddRogers Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 This weeks game selection actually was a pain. I really didn't want to play this one but i did. Not that its a bad game but there are a select few games that give me some bit of a hard time and in this game it was the little mistakes that mess me up and make me want to scream. My score this week is 999,940 sorry i couldnt maximize my score this time before flipping. Todd Mr Activision Rogers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffy Arensmeyer Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 This score took 61 minutes to achieve. The key is to totally avoid the blue and green moons. They're nothing more than a low-scoring hazard. Even for the blast-off points, they're just too risky. And the Orbit screen is another hazard to avoid. Keep the throttle up until you see a red or yellow planet, then dive in. And most importantly: Always listen to the sounds. The Launcher Ships have a very distinct sound, so when you first hear the sound, be ready to move to their location, pull back and fire. The Surface Destroyers are truly dangerous, so totally avoid them by taking out the Launcher Ships post haste. Unless you're in PCB, I'll "see" you all Thursday. ò¿ó Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Mr Activision Rogers See, I was all content with my score and you had to go and do THAT Well, today I pushed my score up to 193,830 I know I can push this one to the limit so I will keep trying tonite if I have the time. And Ze_ro, do not despair, I didn't just hang out in the Orbit screen. In fact, I didn't even do this at all for this score, I only mentioned that tip for the fact that the points for hitting those things go up in relation to the last planet you land on. Like I said, useful if you're close to an extra guy, BORING if you want to max the score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedijeff Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I had a little time to try this one out on the emulator but the best I could do was 7510. Maybe I'll actually have next week's game this time. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the 5th ghost Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Wish I had time for one more game but... 543,030 Too many careless mistakes cost me in that game but I know if I played one more, I'd probably flip it, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted August 2, 2004 Author Share Posted August 2, 2004 And that's the end of this week! Congrats to everyone for your cool scores. I hope you enjoyed Moonsweeper, I know I did! I had no idea this game was so good... although it's certainly difficult and frustrating at times. Anyways, I hope you'll all come back for next weeks game. And in case you didn't already notice, the Atarilympics are coming up in two weeks or so... I encourage everyone to join a team! It should be fun! --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I see how you work The 5th Ghost... Right at the last second so someone like me can't top you congrats on the score though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Isn't his score late? It shows it as 1 48 am... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 whoops damn no edit button... 12:52... isn't that late? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted August 2, 2004 Author Share Posted August 2, 2004 Well, on my screen, his post is dated at 23:52, so if the hard limit is midnight, he still managed to fit it in... I'm working in CST here, so if things seem an hour or so off, then that's probably why. However, my policy has always been "the contest is over when I say it's over"... so if I'm out some night and don't get back until 2 am... if your post is before mine, then you managed to get it in (In fact if someone ended up posting a major score a couple minutes after mine, I'd probably accept that too... I'm not a TOTAL jerk ). It just so happens that I ended up stopping things very shortly after midnight this time... sorry, better luck next time! --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the 5th ghost Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I see how you work The 5th Ghost... Right at the last second so someone like me can't top you congrats on the score though. HAHAHA! I was planning on playing most of Sunday evening but got home real late and only had about 2 hours left to play I was hoping to get the million points, but not enough time...I didn't realize that I had beat your score though in the end. On to Tron... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numan Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 22,630 I get the idiot of the week award because when I should have been posting this score (got it Sunday afternoon), I was playing Hold 'Em until 12:30 a.m. No, I did not win either.
