Any joystick or keyboard is fine! Pics are encoraged here, however I WILL accept a no pic score. Anyone can jump in and play for a High Score and Ranking, if they like... Every score will be counted for the High Score Challenge also, even if you're not entered in the Winter 2600 Knockout. Everyone starts each game with a score of ZERO, one goal is to get above 0... or get a high score, if you don't you will be eliminated and the lowest score earned of the active KO players, is safe! A KING status will be awarded at the end of every round winner, as well as rankings and points. First place gets +15 points! From there on, 1+ less... For the K.O., you need not win, just not finish LAST! Let the battle begin... THIS GAME IS ALSO OPEN FOR HIGH SCORE CLUB POINTS AND RANKING!

Gorfy Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 does "A/B Game 1" mean that we have the choice of either difficulty A or difficulty B? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 does "A/B Game 1" mean that we have the choice of either difficulty A or difficulty B? I'll have to mark it better, A left , B right game 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorTat-G Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Out of the gate and on the board with a weak 2,910. I might have to get this one in cart form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vocelli Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Ok Left A (straight missiles) and right B I was better than average as a kid at this game. A joystick makes this much easier. I was VERY close to the Kool-Aid prediction of 22K as the lowest score (25,400 was the actual). This week I predict 51,000. Straight missiles are slightly harder but not much. My score.

bigbee99 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) 41040 My first few attempts. I actually prefer straight missiles B Edited January 30, 2012 by bigbee99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Ok, playing this on emulator with keyboard is not recommended. My wrist is killing me right now, but I'm playing at work, so I don't have my trusty CX-40/Stelladaptor on hand. First post: 44,100! I've never played with straight shots before. It's much more challenging if you're always used to the steerable shots. This is going to be a fun week. Good luck to all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) 1st try, my score = 19,430 played on wrong setting lol.. but my second score on correct A - B setting is only 100pts lower. It's stopping for gas that messed me up... 3 lives in a row, bam! Edited January 30, 2012 by JacobZu7zu7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Much better with the joystick: 86,280! I'll enjoy sitting on top for the short time it lasts. I know I can crack 100K but that will have to wait until tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrabbler15 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 35,990 I want to say I won't be bowing out of the tourney this week. But making a bold prediction like that puts additional pressure on myself to perform to my own expectations. But maybe that's a good thing. A guy could always use a little extra motivation. Oh well, here goes: I won't be bowing out of the tourney this week. I love River Raid. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorr Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 There is a 16K version of River Raid in addition to the normal 4K version. I assume we are supposed to use the 4K version. Does anyone know the difference between the two (other than the size)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to get this one in cart form. maybe try posting a 'i want 2600 river raid' in the market forum, someone probably has a spare to sell/trade, ask for priority mail.
