JacobZu7zu7 Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Love that game! Really good choice, guys! Sure you're welcome. Its a fun game, especially when you read manual, learn how to ride the vortex when the red level opens the reactor: http://atariage.com/manual_html_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=398 It will do wonders for your score and anyone else reading this and not familar how to avoid the core in level 2. MODERATOR NOTE: This game will end on next MONDAY night (May 11th, Midnight Eastern Time) Since I realize I posted the game today Sunday morning not Saturday, when its supposed to...

oyamafamily Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) This time I will stay one more week without participating in this HSC. Reactor is one of Parker Brothers games which I don't enjoy. Edited May 3, 2015 by oyamafamily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoomUnit Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Reactor: 45,603Is there any way to get the reactor back to normal after it goes all red? Ha!

MoomUnit Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 By the way, this is the fourth game in a row that uses those "space-age computer" numerals for the score. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Here's my score. Having a blast playing this. Reactor (1BB): 43,904. @ Oyama: Sourpuss! Grumpyface! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) 64409 This is easily one of the best video games ever made. Super challenging, strategies are pretty much useless, and it could all end on a bad bounce. MoomUnit, yes, the reactor does return to a normal core, but the walls go invisible, so don't think things get easier... I love Reactor! My personal best is 73K, so hopefully I can get back there this week! Edited May 4, 2015 by StanJr 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reactor looks like a red koala bear face!! Yes, there's an invisible latch , which can flip the screen back, its located on the tip of the bonus cage going into it, it wont kill you to run into the first brick of that cage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrabbler15 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 34,762 Never played this before I got to AtariAge, but I kinda liked it ever since. To me, ya can't ever say, "Oh Reactor. It's like that game ________". There's is nothing Atari that fills in the blank. . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) I have the record?!! Didn't know, but thanks for filling that in for me BAZ The HSC Record for Reactor: 266,960 by JacobZu7zu7 (Knockout Tournament bonus round, 2012) Well, it looks nice but It's going to be beaten with this crew, they's all hella' good at 2600 games.

StanJr Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 66539 minor improvement. I just go to pieces when the walls to invisible. I go in with like 6 lives and lose them all before clearing a single round. Total psyche out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I just go to pieces when the walls to invisible. I go in with like 6 lives and lose them all before clearing a single round. Total psyche out. What helps me in that situation is to stop trying to punch the particles into the rods - i.e. leave them there. As long as there are Rods, you know where the damn wall is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
