zylon Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Our main game is Galaxian on default or game 0. For a half round scoring, I'll add a Game 9 challenge.

phuzaxeman Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Yeah there's a bunch of options. Anyway, you always put up some great scores.

Galaxian - (Game 0) peedenmark7 38,890 (Game 9) zylon 11,300 Current scores- Game 0 15,820 zylon 11,270 peedenmark7 11,070 phuzaxeman 9,530 roadrunner Game 9 bonus- 3,390 roadrunner Standings: darthkur - 50 RangerG - 39 zylon -29 peedenmark7 - 26 roadrunner - 25 atariron82 - 18 phuzaxeman - 17 MrBubble - 15 King_Salamon - 11 I want to clarify things for this particular game. I just want to make sure were on the same level here. I noticed peedenmark7 has the record for 38,890. I went to see the picture on the link and noticed that his score was on easy level. You can tell its easy level because the font color of the score and level are both yellow. To get easy level, you press *. Default of this game is level 0 (you can press start after your game loads up). You'll see "level 0" in blue. If you press "0" on the gamepad, you'll get also the default and level 0 is also blue. Now I pointed this out with Darthkur which he acknowledged in his last score. We can keep peedenmark7 high score at 38,890 but the level should be documented "easy" mode or "*" mode (manual says easy mode). There is a big difference between level 0 default and * mode. Here's the link: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/184682-5200-hsc-season-4-round-11-special-round/page-2?hl=galaxian Sorry to cause confusion but we need to clarify this. It's like comparing centipede easy vs standard levels. Like Darth said, he didn't know there were so many options and this was the case as well. We could have a level 0 (blue/default), level 0 (yellow/easy), and a level 9. Edited January 6, 2017 by phuzaxeman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peedenmark7 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 So if the score is a different color than the difficulty number , we are on wrong mode ? I turn the machine on and play whatever comes up unless we are being prompted to play another game by number. so zero is not zero ? I know this my pic is shot on an angle, but I can see from the pic that the Zero is a different color than the score. I wonder if I have another pic of it. I usually take 2 pics one with phone and one with floppy camera, but out of town with limited internet access. done after this post unless I can text pics and get the wife to post while I am away If I am wrong I am fine with distinguishing between options, but again, not seeing that on my end, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuzaxeman Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) The color of both the score and level 0 are the same (shade of yellow). That's not the default setting. I can also tell that it's easy mode when you stated that you didn't die until 30K. On level 0 blue, that's almost impossible. I've been playing 5200 Galaxian for a long time.It's not that you're wrong, it's just we need to coordinate scores with the corresponding level.Having a level 0 (yellow/easy), level 0 (blue/default), and level 9 are my suggestions. No disrespect to your great score. Edited January 6, 2017 by phuzaxeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuzaxeman Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Here's my latest score of 27,490 (bottom) and peedenmark7's (record) on top. The color of level zeros are different. Edited January 6, 2017 by phuzaxeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peedenmark7 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I looked at my pictures and I have yellow zeros. I am fine with you changing that to whatever you want to change it to. I thought 0's were 0's. I am playing on a multi-cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 14,280 Got it set on the correct one this time. Normal Level 0 is the default when the game is powered on. Just don't accidentally hit any other keys on the keypad though or you'll get a different one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) In the meantime, I have researched and found what would be the true HSC record for the default game. This was 2nd place in the round where the previous record was recorded. All scores that were higher than this were on easy, according to the photos. 2(9pts)- 30,400 zylon It seems a lot goes on here while I'm at work.
