    Thanks Guys ! :)

     

    Last time we played this game I came up way short, but fully had the games quirks down pat by the end of the round [ didn't play it again until this round] . Last time out, I slacked week one and ran out of time the second which reminded me of Astrochase this season.

     

    For a game that I never paid any mind to as a kid, [ I've said this before] WOW, the HSC has once again forced me to PLAY another gem in the catalog.

     

     

     

    This round, I felt really good going in , but when our champ put up his great score mid stream, it sort of let the wind out of my sails to a degree. That, coupled with not having a round win and a few near win misses this season ,made me question why I was here & lit a big fire under my a$$ !!!

     

    I actually use a few different methods depending on the stage of the game to enter codes. I treat it like a repeating puzzle really.

    Code entry is obviously important , but how you play the turrets firing on you is the entire game. I went through 8 lives at the end on my high game.

     

    Once I established solid game play & not making stupid mistakes, my score jumped dramatically in a hurry. The key is being consistent in all facets.. I forgot my main CX-52 at our cottage 2 weeks ago and ended up using my backup which has never seen ANY comp play.. Yikes, What a mind F&$K !

     

    Oddly enough, though my wife thought I was nuts 4 years ago for spending a small fortune putting my 5200/7800 collection together, jumping" small head" first back into the world of Atari , she called the round for me on Friday and was silly close in calling my final score.

     

    I love this stuff and I'm just happy to be here playing with you guys !

     

    Off to another tough one !

     

    Awesome score peedenmark7 :thumbsup: !!!

     

    I'm still learning how to play this great game. So far, I've never successfully guessed a fail-safe code. Assuming one has found all three letters and entered them in the right order...what happens? Does something tell you it's correct and the countdown stops? So far it only ever blows up for me no matter what I enter, even though I thought the code was correct (from memory). Does another button have to be pressed to finalize the entry? Thanks, and way to go on the new Record :)

    Starting at level 8, I progressed further to L14, where I got blasted away on the ground just as a pilot was running towards my ship to be rescued! Gun emplacements were everywhere, I was getting low on energy and thought to take cover and maybe pick up a few pilots....NOWHERE WAS SAFE!! This game is awesome :D

    WoW,..I've been having a blast learning the ways of Fractalus :) On level 7, I encountered (and fried!) three green faced monsters posing a downed pilots! On level 8, I made the mistake of trying to pause the game while an alien was banging on my windshield to get a snapshot..and it was curtains :( I have another game in progress, but it's going to take awhile since it will be devoid of stupid stunts..... ;)
