I put a lot of quarters into this one back in the day when there used to be Arcades. Those were fun times.
I'll be honored to start this one off with a modest score:
127,400
-
251,954
Well Cafeman, I was able secure another 1% of territory for a total of 97% capture! Taking a picture on orig. hardware was pretty tricky due to the 2 second time window, but check it out in the second pic. It may be possible to get 98%, but that may be the abs. max.

I got a pretty big payoff (5x) for some land this time:
195,639

A little better:
118,572

A really neat strategy game and one of my favorite 5200 carts:
93,810

103,000
I was in the Zone, but not for half a Million--(DensB your the Battlezone god!!). I'll be happy with 1/5th of that

Perhaps someone here that actually received one can post pics of the insides and casing from this upgrade and perhaps someone can resume small scale production (after all not wishing to dis on 8bitdomain but it's basically an adapter that allows you to play 7800 games, so it's probably using OTS parts)...as i am sure there are some people on here that would'nt mind owning this little gadgetWell Mr. Andrews, since you asked, here it is. I'm lucky to be one of the few that actually got one of these from Mike at 8Bitdomain. As far as duplicating the device on a small scale it would be quite an undertaking. The adapter uses a custom circuit board designed and copyrighted by Retrokidz. It also must work in conjunction with the 5200 A/V mod which was available from 8bit. If one could aquire a steady supply of these proprietary parts, along with a bunch of 7800 motherboards and 2600 adapters to part out, then they would have to be top hand with a soldering iron. Barring all of that, this device may be destined to be prototype rare.
Here are the pics of the insides etc.:

I can't believe how dead on this game is to the arcade. Once I started paying attention to the targeting computer things got a lot easier. I've been using a variation of the "stagger pattern" Darth mentioned earlier with an aggressive twist. I move my tank as far back as I can so no enemies can sneak up from the rear and get in a cheap shot. Then when an enemy tank is identified to the left or the right I move in fast and close and get the sucker broadside before he knows what hit him. Kind of a hunt and snipe strategy. This worked for a while until those quick moving assault vehicles showed up and started ramming me from out of knowhere. Those tricky buggers will require further evasive manouvers.

This Might be my best one:

I had a pretty good game this time:
77,120

Did a little better with the stock controller; the Genesis pad/Masterplay setup didn't work well for me either---harder to make quick turns.
56,990

This is my best one for this go-round:
62,260

Going deeper underground:
60,690--level 11
*I found the raft in level 10!---Thanks Cafeman*
The trick is having enough men left to explore the next higher, more complex (and deadlier) level when you finally get there. This game is pretty addictive

I saved a few more miners before getting lost in round 10. Does any one know what level Rafts appear? Supposedly you can float down an underground waterway on one when available. This game looks pretty big. I wonder what level it is when one reaches a 1,000,000 points and saves the day?
Time to rescue some more miners....

Throwing my hat into the ring:
28,670 --level 7
I too have noticed small precise movements are a bit tricky esp. when dynamiting the 'red hot' walls.

The RealSports Basketball ver. 1 prototype also supports 3 and 4 players in doubles mode. Its a shame neither this version nor the final one made it out the door.

I was starting to work a stratagy to get through the first three levels, but it all came to an end when I got to level 4. There is alot more skulls, spiders, laser gates and darkness to navigate through. I had 11 men at the start, but Montezuma eventually got his Revenge:

You're the man, RangerG!
It did the trick...and the goofy frogger clone works.

I just got 220,550 level 5. There does not seem to be time to take a picture on the 5200. How are you taking pictures before it resets?What an incredible score! I bet Panama Joe spends a lot of time in the dark at that level.
It reset on me once erasing a pretty decent score. It seems I pressed the fire/jump button as my last man was dying and it remembered with a lag, continuing the game with zero points but my inventory of items intact. The screen should freeze a few seconds after your last Panama Joe bites the dust, leaving your high score indefinitely until you press the jump button. This is using original hardware. I assume it holds true for the emulation ROM as well

Lost my last man kicking around in the dark looking for that doggone torch!

Mappy had a pretty good run this last go-round:
74,280

Well I've pretty much hit a brick wall. Damn this games difficulty
There's a lot more to be mastered with this one. Hats off to anyone who can get through For Your Eyes Only; that level is simply Insane...like instant death. Camoflaged "invisible" frogmen ambush snipe you from the start. I remain however undeterred Until next time... -

Trying to break through that 30,000 point ceiling...
