aftermac Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Rolled It! @12:34 today your score was 79,850 @6:22 today you rolled it Now that's what I call improving a score quickly I was actually surprised SpiceWare bothered posting the low score, since he rolled it in Season 4.

maf Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) I am new to this and was waiting for a new season to jump in. I never was very good at Defender in the arcades and had never really played it before on the 2600 until now. I am just now starting to get the hang of it. So far my best score is: Edit: 83,400 Getting better I am not sure how to post a picture to this forum. Do I need a web host site? The Upload button below seems to hang and never complete when I try to upload from my harddrive. Edit; file is <2MB. Seems to be an IE error. The progress bar starts but then IE aborts with error "Access is denied" at line 2. After the error, the Uploading spinning graphic still continues, but nothing ever loads. I'll try a hard reset later. For some reason .jpg extensions will not upload. I changed the ext to .txt to load it. Defender_HSC.txt Edit: Seems other jpg files upload fine. Just the ones taken from my camera do not. Can anyone suggest any "Free" editting tools/file converters can I use to get around this?

DarthCalvin Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Welcome to the HSC I am not sure how to post a picture to this forum. Do I need a web host site? The Upload button below seems to hang and never complete when I try to upload from my harddrive. It does that to me sometimes. I just refresh and wait a minute and it works.

+SpiceWare Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 You may not be giving it long enough to upload the photo, or if the photo's bigger than 2 MB it won't upload. Try making it smaller before you upload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Rolled It! @12:34 today your score was 79,850 @6:22 today you rolled it Now that's what I call improving a score quickly I've rolled it before in season 3. The first game was just a warmup for the 2nd game. I forgot about the leading zeros when rolling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthCalvin Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I didn't even see the other season. No wonder you did it so fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymailman Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I forgot to add my favorite tip! TIP: I actually welcome the mutant waves. They are essentially free points if you know how to do it. My strategy is to first fly to the right and shoot a few. Then turn the ship around. However, don't fly left just face left. Move the ship up and down to blast the mutants. They never come at you very face if you're not flying, and they seem to fly right into your line of fire.

Impaler_26 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Woohoo! The new season couldn't start better than with Defender! It was the first game i got for my 2600 and it's still one of my favorite games!! I better hurry up, only 2 more days left for playing... 388,150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ze_ro Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 Deteacher did NOT roll the score. After hitting 1,000,000, I shut it off with lord knows how many lives in the bank. The whole point of capping the scores is to prevent pointless endurance tests when the game is no longer challenging, so I don't see much benefit in raising the cap for this game. I'll let TwinGalaxies handle that kind of stuff instead --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maf Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 (edited) edit: 116,100 Edit: Found a good free program called PhotoRazor that lets you resize images. I think the resolution from my camera was set too high to upload. Edited September 9, 2008 by maf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjd Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 This is it for me. I think I can roll it but I can't invest that much time into trying again. 293,700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maf Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 This is it for me. I think I can roll it but I can't invest that much time into trying again. 293,700 I was closing in on you. I think you are safe though. My fire button is starting to act up, making the mutant missions kinda hard. Otherwise I think I may be able to get a little higher at least. I really do need to invest in some decent controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
