I would recommend the Atari ProLine (!) controlllers- much more precise than the CompetitionPro - before

I sold my ColecoVision I was used the CV-version with the standard controller - which worked fine with

RR. The ProLines are nearly the same feeling with this version.

The Pro-Lines seem to suffer from the pressure pad degredation - has anyone repaired one or got any replacement pads?

 

Scored bit better this time..

 

:thumbsup: Now I'm down to 4th and I'm getting lower scores every go!!

 

Bridge 1-20 Lowest Score Challenge - if you shoot a bit more stuff then you can get to the end - my low score is 16,150 :)

I beat my previous high score by a few hundred points:

River Raid - 33,900 (NTSC, Bridge 19)

I found my favorite way to play "River Raid" this round was trying to earn a high score on one life. Here's my best attempt:

 

River Raid - 15,970 (NTSC, First Life, Bridge 10)

Trying to get a low score is strange, but I made an attempt anyway:

 

River Raid - 4,640 (NTSC, Low Score, Bridge 8 )

I tried playing the game using Sega Genesis 3-button and six-button controllers. As I expected, my hand didn't cramp up, but I had a much harder time controlling my speed, so my scores weren't any good.

 

"River Raid" seems to be one of a handful of classic games that doesn't dull over time-- and might even get better with age. How is that possible?
