CapitanClassic Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) First serious attempts.Pretty sure I can roll Dig Dug. Seems like it would take just under 2 hours.Space Rocks is quite fun. Some clarification though. Is leaving 1 or a couple of rocks on the screen to shoot ufos considered cheating? (if so, my score doesn't count) Space Rocks - 36,680 85,270Dig Dug - 241,850 3rd Attempt, using the UFO trick. You can score big on the mini ufo's and Magma Mines.

(if so, my score doesn't count) That should be fine, shouldn't be able to pick off too many as the UFOs are targeting the closest asteroid whenever they're not targeting you.

centiqueen81 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Here's my first attempt at Dig Dug.. 111,730 Will post Space Rocks score soon! I really need to work on that one.. Really fun tho! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark-aleph Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 First Dig Dug session: 460,950 I thought I was going to roll it with ease... but the free lives stopped coming at 200K, and then my strategy went wonky at about 400K when the monsters go straight into manic mode. I've figured out a better strategy now, but it's a long game to score high on - and I wanna play Space Rocks too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've figured out a better strategy now, but it's a long game to score high on - and I wanna play Space Rocks too! Yep, I thought the same thing, but just read the rules. Extra lives stop at 200K. http://atariage.com/manual_page.html?SystemID=2600&SoftwareLabelID=141&ItemTypeID=¤tPage=2&maxPages=5 My strategy changed slightly. The rules indicate that not only do you have to drop 2 rocks, you also need to kill one meanie for the Fruit to show up. My first moves are to inflate any nearby meanies, then dig some defensive tunnels around myself. Finally go and drop two rocks if possible. Only 7 meanies are on screen at once, and you get 8,000 for the fruit (equivilant of squishing 5 meanies with a rock). You also get double points for inflating firebreathers from the side (1,000 at lowest level instead of 500). My most recent attempt is respectable, but no where near rollage. (Probably won't attempt it, Space Rocks is more fun.) Dig Dug - 371,880 Edited April 1, 2014 by CapitanClassic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botbird208 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Mark Botelho / Dig Dug / 313,940Dig Dug 313,940.jpg Mbothelo, Not trying to be an annoyance but I saw that you score matched the score you had for the 2600 challenge on youtube just a couple of days ago, before this challenge was made. Just sayin, all scores submitted in the 2600 HSC have to be scores you made this week, not in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Space Rocks 32400. Not much better, but the point scumming on the UFO's is making it easier to get to 30K, if I can avoid stupid mistakes, I think I can run with the big dogs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Space Rocks 61450 Dig Dug 409200 now I can't even upload screenshots from Stella (2.9KB), tho' I could yesterday. Nor pics I find online like the Chuck Norris ones. obviously my computer is getting more & more infected & may crash soon if I don't figure out how to deactivate this damn crap. I still have public access though, so I'll be back with my pics! If it crashes, at least I have my real Atari & a real camera & a damn USB. and my Flash Gordon cartridge. and my Atari controller.

Nognir Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 maybe the problem is that your scores are too high! *just kidding* I think you should contact Albert about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 P.S. -- I took SpiceWare's advise & it's helping A LOT. I even put it on "Hard" after activating the Easter Egg, then played 'til I made it to 10K. After that I broke into the 50's & 60's K on normal settings. I have a feeling I'm going to break my personal record in one go the next time I play arcade Asteroids. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FREE UFO IN THE BOX, come in either red or blue! I feel sorry for the UFO's in this game, they're just trying to get through this colorful hell, like I am!
