I use a small strike force too. I find it easier to maneauver and don't lose too many Buvsky's when travelling to the Princess. Played several more times, but I haven't got any better scores to post...yet.

Actually, if you wait a minute or two after a game is done it will go into a demo mode. I took several pictures of the TV screen and wasn't happy with a shot until this one. So, during that time it must have gone into the demo mode.

After several tries of never breaking 10k I finally got the hang of it. 118,400

Actually it could be the TV. I have problems with just a couple games on one of my TVs, but they work fine on the other. Artillery Duel is one of them. The other two that come to mind are the NTSC version of Acid Drop and Okie Dokie. The scrolling effect on these games is slower than if I put in a PAL game and watched the scrolling.

I got a little bit of playing time in on Turkey day. 319,000

I eventually got the hang of it. Looks like another fun week ahead of us. 257,000

Thanks for looking everyone! http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZtoymailman

Final submission. Close. 333,395

Barely better than my last submission, but alas not quite enough. 328,796

It took me lots and lots of tries today, but eventualy broke 300k!! 327,183 Can't seem to catch Deteacher (as usual)

Got mine! Thanks!!

I played around some more tonight, but still couldn't break 300k. However, I did figure out all the scoring by shooting something and using the pause feature. The above information is mostly correct. Defense Cells: 250 points, these can pass by without harming the patient. Blood Cells: 3 shots to destroy, 1st=10 pts, 2nd=20 pts, 3rd=25 pts, Total = 55 points However, you do not want to shoot these. Damaged Blood Cells will harm the patient. Bacteria: 3 shots to destroy, 1st=100 pts, 2nd=50 pts, 3rd=50 pts, Total = 200 points Shoot these or the patient will be harmed. Enzyme: 500 points, these can pass by without harming the patient. However, you want to shoot these as they will heal the patient a little. Antibodies: 75 points, Shoot these or the patient will be harmed. These spwan if a wall is touched. Clotlets: 1 point per hit and are indestructable. Blood Clot: 15 shots to destroy, each hit is worth 200 points, Total = 3000 points

I've had the day off today so got some more gaming in. Almost got over 300k. 299,046 The randomness of the maze can make the game very hard sometimes. In the wave I died on (bacteria) there was a long diagonal part that had 5 bacteria in it. Because it was diagonal I could never get under them before they left the screen, even by going minimum speed and waiting for them to come back. That wiped out A LOT of life. The patient died soon after.

Got over 200k!! When I was trying to save the 7th patient the blood cells wave was very hard to navigate. The maze was very narrow and filled with the darn cells you want to avoid touching. I lost most of the patients life in that round. 256,529

My first submission for the week. 198,686 The fifth patient is hard to save.

Got a new best for me!! Still cant catch Deteacher. 181,395

Great score man!! I;ve got over 120k a few more times but still can't best mey 133k right now. I have a few more tries in me saved for tonight.

I was perfect for a while too. Then it all fell apart...fast! When you have several ingredients to get, the burgers are moving fast, and the wrong things keep flying out, then it gets really hard (for me). But I was in a zone for a while and got... 133,755 Arghh!!! soo close.

It was off eBay. I've never found squat in the wild (thrift, garage sales, etc.).

That is true, this unit does not have the "reconditioned" sticker usually (always?) found on units that had service performed. Of course, THAT sticker could've been removed. But if the homeowner took the time to remove the reconditioned sticker then why not remove the little Sears sticker too? In any case, I will keep this little oddity.

SOLD!

My first go at this game. It was hard at first to keep track of everything, but then it clicked and was LOTS of fun. Played several rounds tonight and almost got to 100k 90,880 I'll be playing this one a lot for the HSC!!

I don't usually swear, but NO f*%#@^g WAY!! Those were some amazing buys for very hard to find CIB titles. The seller must not have known what he had. I think most of those could've gone for 2x-3x times those prices. Looks like an early Christmas for ya'!

Highest offer so far is $31. Thank you! I'll continue to take offers until tonight. Also, thanks for the complements; I was happy with the way it all turned out.

Congrats, I guess it is around the price range. Your price on the Quadrun is very good and i think you should get the BIN price on it. I just know i would have offered more for the Boing but its gone now and sometimes it works for the best to be patient and find things at deals. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...N:IT&ih=017 I was willing to pay $150 for this til i found this one late night. Good thing i have the hours of a vampire or i wouldn't have found this and 8 other deals from the same seller! He listed them around 2:00 a.m. my time. Its only the 2nd time I saw Cosmic Commuter CIB up for auction on ebay......the last one i remember seeing was Video Game Addict's listing. I think this is by far the hardest CIB Activision one there is to find. The rest of them u can usually find for under $50 with the exception of Beamrider although that one has been appearing more and so is dropping quickly down in price. I have both versions of Beamrider now U.S. and Canadian version (which i didn't know existed until i got one) Wow! Nice grab on that Cosmic Commuter! Looks like I'm not the only bandit.
