Goochman Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Folks, The votes are in and Berzerk won by a long shot - So, play difficulty 1 and rack up a score - this will run from M-F, the 12th through the 16th. We dont require any authentication but a screenshot would be nice to post here I will keep an updated scoresheet in this msg. Good luck! Attached is a ROM you can use in an emulator.

bjk7382 Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Even though it is technically before the contest, here is the best from my first few games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Even though it is technically before the contest, here is the best from my first few games. I'm dead in the water. 2500 and change is my best effort yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted April 12, 2004 Author Share Posted April 12, 2004 bjk - if your score was prior to last week then please post another score - the idea here is to play again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Well don't give up before it starts You seen how much people improved on the 2600 contest. I tried probly a few hundred times to get a better score for circus atari, but the score I submitted was the best I did (which wasn't very good) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 bjk - if your score was prior to last week then please post another score - the idea here is to play again It was from about 5 minutes before I posted it. I seen this thread and started playing EDIT- I am still playing and here is a better one for you (taken 2 minutes ago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 3700 on my first try, no pic running through sio2pc and don't have my digital cam handy, the 8bit version is a lot harder than I remember. Been playing too much on the 2600 side with Bezerk: Voice Enhanced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Been playing too much on the 2600 side with Bezerk: Voice Enhanced Yup! I think that it's the Robot's diagonal shots that are throwing me off. At least, that's the story that I'm sticking with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Cool... time to crank out the emulator. Who knows maybe I'll get unlazy and take out the XEG and hook it up. But the space in front of my tv is a little crowded right now. Good idea to include the image with the contest. I've noticed sometimes there are weird variations out there.

oesii Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 I only got up to 4900 tonight, I'll have to get my camera back from my neighbor for proof tomorrow And that 4900 was pretty lucky, I think I was in the low 4k's when I died but then all the dumb bots ran into each other postmortem making my score go up. Berzerk is classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oesii Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I'm up to 7850 tonight, and I should be getting my digicam back anytime now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 ah, lucky camera back, I got up to 8750. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 OK, I decided to give it a shot on a real XL system using a real CX40. 4340 this time around (sorry no digital camera for a screen shot). Better but still nowhere near the league that the rest of y’all are playing in. I’ll keep practicing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also got a 7k score using the new USBStella adaptor, a cx40, and Atari800WinPlus, you haven't picked an adaptor up yet? Works great in Z26, 8bit, and STeem for all the games I've thrown at it.

Shannon Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I broke 10,000 tonight.. Provided my score isn't beat tonight, or I dont beat myself I will post a picture later. Just peeking in to see how everyone else was doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I guess I am just not on my game tonight. I only upped my score to 7140, and that was a pretty lucky game. I am shooting for 10k now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 It gets pretty tough around 8000, the enemy shots are alot faster and luck plays a bigger factor. I managed to surpass 10,000 again today, but did not beat last nights score. Still working. I'd send a pick but I'm too lazy to move my xbox downstairs where I can hook up a network cable.

advfan Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Hi, this is a great idea having a competition every week. My choice for next week is DROL too. And here is my current highest BERZERK score: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 you haven't picked an adaptor up yet? It's still on my wish list. I was meaning to go home with one at the PC but I ended up overspending on a few other things (like a Colecovision to play the "Space Invaders Collection" and two of Sunmark's multi-carts) and funds ran dry. Soon, though. Very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Just give me your final score for now 11390.. I tried again last night to beat it, not even close. I think it all really comes down to luck. If the robots are in just the right position it is next to impossible to get pass them quickly enough and avoid being shot diagonally. The just shoot to quickly.

Goochman Posted April 14, 2004 Author Share Posted April 14, 2004 I finally broke 10K! I didnt lose my first life until 7K and then it was all down hill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
