karokoenig Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Opening the match with 61,245. Close to my personal best already, but enough to make you work a little, NCG. I hope... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 My draw of NCG as opponent and the odds of winning for me reminded me of this scene . Please don't watch if you're easily offended. Lyrics and imagery are just a tiny bit explicit: Now let's rock. The cornered beast fights back. New score: 122,230. My previous score almost doubled, and beat your score from the season, NCG - by a very small margin. I am very happy with my score, and I am having a lot of fun playing this fine game. I am also quite sure that you will still beat me, but as I said: at least you'll have some work to do to advance. Good luck! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcoastgamer Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 146,615. Worked hard in the beastly lair for this one. I love a good battle, best of luck to you aswell Karo! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoo_chilly Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Astroblast - 15,325 Wow, I have a tough matchup against oyamafamily for a first round! I'll give it my best shot though. This is a game that I wanted to revisit after the season anyway. Paddle games are not my best category of games. Good luck Wilson! Your first score is higher than my best so I have my work cut out for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oyamafamily Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Astroblast made me want to try Meteor Shower, an Atari 7800 Homebrew by PacManPlus (Robert Decrescenzo). With a side of Meteor Shower, I will try to improve my score on 2600 Astroblast. Edited October 7, 2015 by oyamafamily 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 78,270 probably my 3rd or 4th time breaking 30k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KaeruYojimbo Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 78,270 probably my 3rd or 4th time breaking 30k. Crap. Now I have to play more. I can pretty consistently get to 30K or so, but only every once and a while do I get on a roll and go beyond. I love playing games where the hit detection is iffy and you only get one shot on screen at a time. Look, my shot went right through that guy and now I have to wait for it to reach the other side of the screen before I can shoot again. Never mind, he killed me while I was waiting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oyamafamily Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) It's your turn, VOODOO_CHILLY! Before you ask, I used Mouse as Paddle to play Astroblast. ASTROBLAST NEW TAKE, DIFFICULTY AA - 301,775 (Game stopped at this point with 98 lives) (A correction: at the opening of video below, I wrote "SOUND OFF", but I recorded audio and set volume to 100 on Stella - I played Astroblast WITH sound) Edited October 10, 2015 by oyamafamily 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I've tried countless times, but things just never again fell into place. Now there's wordplay... I raise the white flag, NCG. Closest I got to my current high score was just over 100k. And I won't have much time to try any more this weekend. Congratulations on your great score and best of luck in the next rounds! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoo_chilly Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Oyamafamily, I haven't even broke 30K again since my last post...and I have been giving it about an hour a day at least. Unless I get some "feel" for it to marathon, I am toast. Congrats! I will still try though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KaeruYojimbo Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I guess I will join the concession parade as well. I think I spent more time playing the game this week than any week before, but I've just got too much going on this weekend to put any more into it. Despite it being a flickery, bug-ridden piece of #$@&, I've actually enjoyed playing Universal Chaos. Congratulations S.BAZ, good luck on the next round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcoastgamer Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 181,680! I try to maximize the points on the first 5 waves, then warp to wave 11 making the X (double diagonal) to clear wave 11. After that just survive. Such a great addictive game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
