troff Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Didn't think I would make it, but I'm on the board. Those Doomsday asteroids are, you know, killing me. When the scroller is going so fast it's hard to pay attention to both the letters and the asteroids. Somehow, I'm getting a little addicted to this game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williamc Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Zapper - 60 I managed this score after many, many tries. I got really lucky words where the letters were in mostly alphabetical order so I could snag them all on one or two go-rounds. I liked this choice for the HSC. I remember dismissing this game a long time ago as an interesting idea that didn't really work, but back then I wasn't playing the right variation. At max speed, it's really addicting. It had that "just one more game!" quality. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 yeah it's addicting, maybe because it's so short Its shortness was definetly good for me and my busy timetable this week. So yeah... good choice :-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atarian7 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 So far I'm an "Ace". I didn't get killed. I ran out of time. This game is particularly hard for me because my short term memory is shot most of the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Kofoed Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Not great, but it's a score! 18 For the record, this was more fun, and more challenging, than I thought it would be. Always thought this was 'edutainment' but I grudgingly admit it seems to be a game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 30 I have to admit I got lucky. I think I shot the freebie for last letter and then I was shooting like crazy at the asteroids and hit the freebie in the process to register the 'word'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Kofoed Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Happy with this one. Should've been 42, cause that's what was on the screen when I make the shot to end the round, but whatever, that's how it scores I guess. 41: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrabbler15 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 40 I got a score! I got a score! This is the first game where I actually finished all three words. The picture doesn't want to upload. If I get it to do that, I'll post it later. . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
