19,490 Made it to wave 8.

Updated. Here is a list of common (R1-R3) games I need boxed: Airlock Barnstorming Basic Programming Berzerk (original release) Blue Print Canyon Bomber Carnival Centipede Championship Soccer Commando Dark Cavern Dolphin Dragonfire Encounter at L5 Fast Food Freeway Galaxian (original release) Gorf Home Run Human Cannonball Ice Hockey Infiltrate Keystone Kapers Lock 'N' Chase M*A*S*H Math Gran Prix Maze Craze Mega Force Megamania Millipede Miniature Golf Name This Game Oink!

Still got it. Asking $25 plus shipping. I can include hookups if you need them.

BUMP

If you suck at this game like I do, try avoiding the large rocks alltogether. I found that I would often shoot a large rock and then miss both the small ones it turned into, for a net loss of 50 points (50 - 2 x 50). If I had just let the big one go I only would have lost 25 points. My high score: 5,255

Died on the sixth stage with a final score of 2,060. I will beat this game eventually, but not this week!

TIP: Nothing can hurt you when you're on a ladder (even if you haven't started climbing yet).

Wow, first a Xonox game that's actually good, now a Data Age game that's actually good! The thing I find really frustrating about it is that I'll often get scores over 2,000, but then lose half my points. I still love the game though. My highest score so far is 1,660.

That's a good deal! I forget what I traded for my Montezuma's Revenge cart, but it was more than $15 worth and mine is FFS (Far From Spiffy).

Who knew that Xonox could actually make a good game?! Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time to play this one right now. My best score so far is only 95,280. I think she kind of looks like Marzipan.

EDIT: I just looked at that auction again, and I misread the shipping cost. It's only $4, not $12, so the total is $24. So I bought it. Anyone want an empty box? LOL

Here's a game that hasn't been used in a sentence yet: Due to the limited vertical SPACE, JOCKEYs were the only people in the room who didn't need to crouch.

Exactly what I was thinking! I guess that one would also apply if there was an Atari computer game compilation (I haven't played that version but I would guess it's the same).

For quite some time now, I've had an empty box for the Famicom version of The Bard's Tale, just begging to be filled. There's a sealed one on eBay right now, but with shipping from Japan it would cost me $32 and I really don't want to spend that much, especially since I already have the box. So if anyone has the cart and/or manual and would like to sell or trade it, let me know! Here is my trade list: http://www.geocities.com/metalkeir/trade.html If you have a complete or sealed one and don't want to break it up, I'd still be interested (just as long as you aren't asking $32).

Well, it's better than Shark Attack, I guess. I really don't feel like playing this one any more though, so here's my final score: 28,824

I have some newish games that I never play and would like to trade for some oldish games that I will never play. Gamecube: Tales of Symphonia (sealed) Viewtiful Joe (sealed) PS2: Mobile Light Force 2 Star Ocean: Till the End of Time Mostly interested in Atari 2600 and VIC-20 games, especially boxed. My want list: http://www.geocities.com/metalkeir/wantlist.html

I'm using Z26. It appears that when emulating, it resets to the easy difficulty every game. My new score at the correct difficulty (please ignore my last score): 12,360

I don't really get how this game works. My first game, the difficulty ramped up very quickly. I made it to level 7 by 9,000 pts and died shortly thereafter (I'm assuming the number at the bottom to the left of your lives is some sort of level indicator). Second game I got nearly 25,000 pts before passing level 1! My final score for that game was 36,810.

elliott: I replied to your PM a couple times, but they didn't show up in my sent box so I don't know if there's a problem with the PM system or what. Anyway, if you didn't get them, please send me an email ([email protected]) or something. Thanks, Keir

Board games are on the top of these shelves: http://videogamecollectors.com/gallery/Keir/100_1208 Thanks, Keir

1,430 Cleared one wave, and only had one invader left to clear the second. Also tagged one command ship. Originally I wasn't even trying for the command ships because I didn't think it was worth the effort, but they really help your score in this variation.

I just acquired another Spy Hunter that is in much better shape than the one I had, so my old one is now available for trade. The label isn't terrible; it is intact but has some edge wear and discoloration as you can see from the picture. I would love to trade this straight up for a Tapper (the last Sega cart I need). I'd even add something to my side of the trade if the Tapper is in better shape than this one. Of course, I will also consider other things from my want list.

Shouldn't sku_u be in the current standings? I remember he beat me at Rabbit Transit.

Wow. Interestingly enough, 2 of the 3 that have the proper name on the carts he misspelled in the description (Riddle of the Sphimx and Warlocks), but he spelled all the misspellings correctly!

Oh man, game 16! I was able to beat one wave, but then they slaughtered me. I've always thought invisible invaders were fun, but with the wavy bullets and moving shields... yikes! 685
