Gorfy Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 First on the board....does that earn us a bonus point? Scramble (I'm assuming Standard mode): 25,240 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorfy Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 18,430. Keyboard controls bad! Good score for playing on the keyboard! I'd be dead in the water without my Stelladaptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 SCRAMBLE ??! 44,950 good 2600 version! Even though the flicker seems to scramble my vision at times. The fireballs zooming forward always do me in in this game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 lol I was short on gaming time last week (probably this week too) but, STAR BLAZERS HAVE GOT TO SCRAMBLE ON !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 32,240 Now THIS is how the controls for Super Cobra should've been done, instead of alternating firing modes! Scrambling to infinity and beyond for the Star Blazers! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneakyturtleegg Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I'll try not to be a late Sunday score poster again. I've never played the 2600 version of Joust before. Here is what I did with it during my first short play session. I like the control and although limited, this 2600 version captures the feel of the arcade. What I really don't like is the eggs. After you kill a bird, the eggs keep floating and picking up momentum. It should be the opposite. The eggs should slow down and land. I'm guessing it is a technical limitation of the 2600. Nonetheless, it is fun and I should be posting a few more scores throughout the week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Champ games are top notch. I can't wait to play the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 27,660. Tried with a USB Competition Pro this time. Not much better, because there's some lag that can really throw you off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LidLikesIntellivision Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Can't get past the steep climb in the corridor...30,500 Before a steep climb or a steep fall, you need to put your ship at the most right position. When climbing or descending, you must fly diagonally (left up or left down), so you give some space to reach the next tunnel where you go right to prepare for the next narrow tunnel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
