  1. First of all I deeply apologize for the delay in the new round, due to my absence. I'm alive and well but things have been quite discombobulated as of late. I admire Roadrunner's tenacity in keeping the 7800 HSC alive.

    Asteroids sounds fine. Let's rock indeed.

     

    I'm glad you're OK Darthkur! :)

    I didn't know if it would be OK for me to start the next round or not.

    I won't do it again.

  2. 162,190

     

    I was doing good until i got to round 13.

     

     

     

     

    After killing the two that are outside the heart, go on top of the heart and use the water bubbles to get the ones inside.

     

    Thanks for the tip! I'll have to try that out. You're not too far away from getting 1 million points. ;)

  3. Until Mr. Darthkur gets back, Let's rock some Asteroids!

    Someone once said the the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately three thousand, seven hundred and twenty to one. Now is not the time to dwell upon the odds but of survival because you find yourself smack-dab in the center of an immense field of asteroids. The hyperdrive on your ship must be acting up again because, not having a death-wish, you didn't exactly want to be pulverized by gigantic space boulders. To make matters worse you're not alone. There's automated ships about which are firing blindly to clear the space rocks to make preparation for a new hyperspace express route and they will just as soon shoot you as another piece of cosmic detritus. You could attempt another jump but who knows where you'll end up. Better leave that as a last resort. If you want to live you better start firing and keep out of the way of those tumbling masses of minerals and stone.

     

     

    Emulators are fine as is whatever controller you feel the most comfortable with. Screenshots are great but not mandatory. Please do not use any cheat/hack options. These include auto-fire, unlimited lives, invincibility, etc. Also, no continues. Only games begun at the beginning count.

    Goodluck everyone! :)

  4. I think something might of happened to Mr. Darthkur.

    I raised this subject in the 7800 HSC a few days ago.

    He hasn't logged on since July 11th.

    I hope he's OK, his cyber buddies are worried about him.

     

    Might be his computer too.

     

    I hope that it's

    Space Invaders

    Super Pacman

     

    Maybe. He could go to a public library or use a friends computer and log in to let us know he's OK.

  5. is it alright if I join in the NES score competition? I am also currently active in the Sega Master System score competition.

     

    here is my first submission for Life Force:

     

    69,810

     

     

    I hate the prominence stage!

    It's alright by me. :)

    We could use a few more players in the NES HSC. :)

    You have to shoot the boss in the eyeball a few times to kill it. icon_smile.gif

     

     

    I know, but its just plain disturbing and creepy at the same time...

     

    Yeah, that is one weird looking boss. :o

     

     

    Maybe this will help cheer a few of us up and forget about seeing that boss.

     

    Here's a GIF of Charlotte Takes A Tumble

    And a link to the Youtube video clip. :)

     

     

  7. I hate whoever made this game, about the 5 times I've tried it, I got around 3,000... I'll see if I can get a better one.

     

    I'm giving up at 5,000, Too much trail and error for two days to get a somewhat decent score, so I'll let the older people that have been playing this game for thier whole lives to compete.

     

    After I gave up, I tried getting further into the game with the rewind function on nestopia, and found the brain boss rather disturbing. Usually I would see the brain as a final boss (metriod). At first I was avoiding its arms and then I look over and it has this large eyeball sticking out of the front of it and I thought, WTH is that?!

     

    You have to shoot the boss in the eyeball a few times to kill it. :)
