Ze_ro Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Important Note: This weeks competition is over. If you still wish to discuss this game and compare scores, feel free to do so, but no further scores will be added to the list. It is a time of crisis for the Earth forces. Years of constant assault from the EXIDY coalition have left Earth almost totally defenseless. Intergalactic intelligence has discovered a new threat, several Exidy freighters, protected by an armada of smaller vessels, have entered a friendly sector of space and are advancing on Earth itself, loaded with enough weaponry to completely annihilate the planet. The peoples of Earth have but one remaining hope for victory. Launching from a secret base in the remote mountains, one of the few remaining STAR-FIRE class attack vessels races to counter the coalition threat. It's firepower an equal match for the enemy but it's rookie pilot, while eager, is young and inexperienced... NOTE: In case you don't already have this great game, you can purchase it from AtariAge for the low, low price of $25! Your purchase will help fund future homebrew games for the Atari.

keilbaca Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 (edited) Ok, I know we played this game before. Ah, who cares. I doubt I can get nearly as high of score as I have gotten before. Just not enough time in the day like I used to have. Edited June 29, 2006 by keilbaca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not enough time in the day like I used to have. Heheh... haven't played this since I earned my Star Fire patch! This should be fun. Opening score... 1,866 (Just a quick game before work.)

Lauren Tyler Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 It's times like this I wish I had the means to order a copy from the AtariAge store! Such a great game. At any rate, here's my first score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 4048 Oh good... I don't feel so bad about not having a screen pic of my latest score... 2478. I bought this game towards the mid part of the contest they had. First 50 or so to reach a score of 3,500 got a Star Fire Elite patch. I just barely made that score. I bought it because I love the Activision patches that came out. Was a fun contest. I can't afford every game that comes along, but that seemed worth it.

keilbaca Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Was messing with my atari in a cd rom slot (trying to see if I can take the bleeding out of some of the colors) and I ended up playing a few games. Its a small improvement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
