Scrabbler15 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 56 (5 days, 3 hours) When the cannon is only working at half-speed and the radar is out and the video display is flashing, there's nothing quite like taking a shot in the dark and hearing that satisfying boom when there really is no reason to expect to be hitting anything. .

It's all hit or miss. Mine works fine on my Atari 7800, but I know how it can feel not to have it work, so you have my sympathies.

It's all hit or miss. Mine works fine on my Atari 7800, but I know how it can feel not to have it work, so you have my sympathies. Also first score: 36 As I understand, the harmony cart can 'fix' many atari 7800 compatibilities issues. I don't know how but games that don't work in cart or cassette format do work in the harmony. I think Robot Tank is another game the harmony makes it run in some 7800s. Now I must forget a bit the harmony and do some war with my 7800. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamerguy99 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 58 i went in the room where my dad was and asked him what he thought my score was and he said 48 so i said close, (he looks confused) then i tell him i got 58 and he says whaaat, very calmly like he does. i worked hard for this score and my dads personal best is next. P.S. do you guys like my new profile pic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 P.S. do you guys like my new profile pic. I always like the Ying-Yang. It's a cool symbol. It's a pitty South starts with 'S' not 'Z', otherwise you'd be in perfect balance rotating the wheel. By the way, what does the N and your ying-yang avatar means? ----- In this oportunity, I'd like to show a great recent achievement shown in AA. The best Pacman version is about to arrive!

CapitanClassic Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Robot Tank - 65 Some tips for those who want to medal. 1) You can always flee from fighting the robot tanks in bad weather. I personally don't like fighting the tanks in snow (cannot change direction easily), and rain on the later levels. I don't care about fighting at night or in the fog. 2) You can spin the display (hold diagonally forward) and fire when the tank is at 9/3 o'clock to shoot an incoming shot (or sometimes sneeks past the shot and kills the tank). Then I usually change direction, immediately fire, and shoot the tank as it swings back infront.
