Finally managed to get a decent run on Demon Attack.  I was starting to think it was impossible to break 20k on my system without the thing crashing on me!
Demon Attack: 26667
Nova Blast: 59250

Edit: Added Nova Blast score.

Ice Trek 22,970 as the game crashed (actually the emulator) on me.... I think I remember someone saying that Nova Blast bordered on cheapness, actually Im now 150% convinced the folks who programmed Ice Trek just say for the later levels, just ----- it.... make the ice bergs float up and down nearly the ENTIRE screen so no matter where they are they are going to ---- with that bridge. (fill in the blanks!!!)

Ok, latest scores up



I know I've been told 2 scores are incorrect on this (chuck/zylons Demon score)

Doesn't matter as I have some slightly better ones. Still haven't figured out the "E" thing or how to rebuild the shields on Nova Blast.   This is one of the few I preferred on Colecovision.
Demon Attack 10,331
Nova Blast 26,400

That's a pretty cool looking high score table.

NOVA BLAST - HIT THE BONUS, FOR REAL THIS TIME!
55,600

Is it just me or do you have to be right in the "middle" of the city to rebuild a shield?

Small improvement on Demon Attack - 7,481. I had a great game going after that one, but it glitched out on me, for real this time. Weird stuff goes on; on the mothership stages I have problems with lateral movement, but at no other time. One time I went into the mother ship with two lives and then had five after moving to level 2; which did me no good because of the cheapshot respawning that killed me three times to make up for it.  uggh. I'll keep working on it.....

I've had original hardware glitch with Demon Attack. The controls just keep moving right from the second boss onward, but only if I use the Right controller. Seems to work fine with Left control.

To check up everyone, wtg getting the bonus Jacob... Zylon, yep Demon is appearing to be more painful (in glitchiness) but as Crade can contest the higher Ice Trek levels (especially the ice bridge) is a SUPER SUPER SUPER PAIN!!!

Yeah..  It feels so close (~2k from the bonus) yet so, soooo far across that last bridge!

That's **!@!? amazing...!

[crade]

For the later bridge levels they are doable.. you just have to go kamikaze for the last 2-3 sections and not worry about saving your bridge, trusting you will land your hooks and pass the level before you die...

[cparsley]

One day left.... Get your scores now

[JacobZu7zu7]

Great job guys, especially crades Ice Trek,

Yeah not to worry with the bridge is a good thing, but
with emulator control, it's sorta of a lost cause for me.
It's hooking the pieces which ruins it for me... and I'm great with the fire,
even shooting up and down-INTO the bridge to melt the ice.

I did make a run passed the bridge as it was breaking that was cool... lol.

I'm starting on easy mode, but by time I get to second bridge it's hell! Yet,
the first time around is a cakewalk. Maybe it's the emulation... I dunno.
The best I done so far was my second try, since then it's been a torture.

All 3 of these games have some kinda massive toughness at some point.

[cparsley]

lol 2nd time??? I know the score Crade did starting on difficulty level 1 is definitely the seventh path thru the game, and if you think the 2nd ice bridge is torture, try the sixth (by pressing 6 on startup)
