Arcade High Scores! Game Updated 08/07/24 - COME ON IN!

[lovelyhead]

I think this is as high a score as I can get! I have been playing Robotron all week and have enjoyed it but it is so hard.

 

[Spacedeck]

Well done @lovelyhead with that high score!

This weeks game goes to @Metalface Mark

Should be an interesting game with how the last of these type went.

 

[Metalface Mark]

let battle commence! - all my retro stuff is still in the flux of switching from one room to another but ill be sorted in a few days.

If you can add Galaga 88 as the hyper sports replacement please.

Some tips for hyper sports.

 

[lovelyhead]

Thanks for the tips Mark. I managed to get to the Long Horse but couldn't figure out how to jump so got three fouls in a row. My initial score:

 

[Tealc]

Well done on the highest score on Robotron lovelyhead. Try as I might I could not better my previous score.

Hyper Sports.

My first couple of goes

 

[Tealc]

Could I get Moon Patrol added in as I must have forgotten to add another in.

 

[Tealc]

Can't get past the vault level. Info on the web says that the qualifying for round 1 of the vault is 8.6 but on mine it is 9.20, which makes it trickier.

 

[Metalface Mark]

im back setup again (hopefully for the last time!). I should have said we should have changed dip switches to easier as the archery is a nightmare at default setting. First go 31200

 

[Spacedeck]

Well done @Tealc

New game:

I've definitely have been lacking these past few weeks, I must jump back in this week.

[lakitu]

Sorry for the lack of participation. I drove off in my car with my Macbook still on the roof while i filled my boot. So no gaming for a little while!

 

[Tealc]

Oh sorry to hear about your Macbook. I drove home once with my petrol filler cap on my boot, which surprisingly remained on the car for the 2 mile drive home.

First attempt at Moon Patrol, 21030.

This game brings back lots of memories from arcades from my youth. I also remember a rather poor C64 conversion called Moon Buggy which my friend had.

I'm no expert on this but you get a significant bonus for each leg of the journey so deffinitely worth speeding up. For example A-E can be done sub 60 seconds, for which you get 3000 bonus, which doubles the score you get for the level itself.

 

[Tealc]

New score 24,730

 

[lovelyhead]

I'm not really good at this game. Can't get past the land mines. Best I could do so far is 11,120.

 

[Tealc]

Best to take the mines at standard speed, although you do still need to jump slightly early for a few.

 

[Spacedeck]

Last few weeks have been a little slow around here. Well done @Tealc

New game updated and this selection goes to @JoeBoi

Had my first go and only managed a measly 3980 with the Wizard.

 

[Tealc]

Wizard 12740.

 

[cheesyboy]

Ooh Gauntlet!

I LOVE the cabinet but, sadly, don't much like the game. Just seems so unfairly balanced as a coin muncher.

Will try to give it a go, though.

(The reboot from about 10 years ago is really good)

 

[Spacedeck]

Wizard 12740.

Do you manage to clear the locked areas on floor 1? I find that pretty challenging.

 

[Tealc]

No I chose to shoot a few of the ghosties after the first locked door but then go through the levels in turn. The single food item behind the first locked door usually ends up with me losing more health than its worth. I'm sure I used to do this back in the day but yesterday I lacked the required skill to get the line ups.

 

[Tealc]

Tried to clear level 1 again and this time used the line up, shoot and move towards the generator trick and managed to come out of the level up on health. The unfairness of level 8 with the lobbers, demons and death though soon took my health away as I tracked down to the right, then back to the top and then couldn't get the stupid warp to work.

Not any higher but best with Warrior 12,630.
