Fatal Run improvement - 157,870 (Big thanks to @gsampson35 - your video provided at TwinGalaxies helped me to learn the mechanics of 2600 Fatal Run) Just to give frames of reference, I would like to share the TG Top Score on 2600 Fatal Run (NTSC console, New Game) 430,650 (Glen Sampson)

7800 Fatal Run (New game / NO Fuel Challenge) 13,500 2600 Fatal Run (New game / NO Fuel Challenge) 44,510 NO Fuel Challenge has the following meanings: 1) You may collect a diamond which appears in the middle of road and represents Fuel (it's blue on 2600 port, and light gray on 7800 port) 2) DON'T buy any fuel when you enter the city, i.e., at the moment you repair your car (most damaged parts in special).

Folks, to reach my score posted above, I used my tricks and techniques as presented in the video below: 00:12 - Wave 01: I made multiple and complex Klaxs to score as much as possible. The technique which I applied in this wave is named “Big Sandwich”. 01:17 - Wave 02: Same strategy applied to Wave 01 02:34 - Wave 03: I made a “BIG X” to get more points in this Diagonal Stage 04:03 - Wave 04: Same strategy applied on Waves 01 and 02 05:24 - Wave 05: Same strategy applied on Waves 01, 02 and 04, but I had to make a horizontal Klax (5 yellow blocks) first 06:54 - Wave 06: Same strategy applied on Wave 03, this time to get 50K Warp Bonus 08:33 - Wave 51: I just made the required number of Klaxs (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) 12:06 - Wave 52: I just made the required number of Diagonal Klaxs 14:33 - Wave 53: This wave is IMPOSSIBLE to complete! The main tip for Klax is watch this video, and study the tricks and techniques to score more points on Waves 01 to 06.

Klax 160,245

To @Vocelli - add a special note for Fatal Run - NO CODES ALLOWED. Some participants in this HSC (specially new members) can ask questions about CODES which are featured on Fatal Run.

Here are my tips which I provided on 2600 OLD HSC Season 8, Week 20 for XENOPHOBE, and revised here: 1. Draw a map of each space station. This game has 8 stages (called space stations); if you complete the 8th stage, you will return to Stage 1. It's a good opportunity to memorize the platforms / screens for each space station, and plan your defense and attack. 2. Avoid touching the aliens, specially Snotterpillar (the MOST DANGEROUS AND THE BIGGEST MONSTER). This hint will help to save your health, and your weapons in use. 3. Count how many aliens you have killed in the current space station. Here are the numbers of aliens which you must kill to complete the level: Space Station 01 (1 floor) - 12 Space Station 02 (2 floors) - 24 Space Station 03 (3 floors) - 36 Space Station 04 (4 floors) - 60 Space Station 05 (3 floors) - 46 Space Station 06 (2 floors) - 31 Space Station 07 (3 floors) - 45 Space Station 08 (4 floors) - 54 You will earn 300 bonus points per alien killed at the end of current space station. 4. On Space Stations 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, and 07, collect the valuable hardware as many as possible, because you will get 1000 bonus points per item picked up at the end of current stage. AVOID collecting a lot of valuable hardware on Space Stations 04 and 08, both with 4 floors. 5. If you have at least 1 Grenade, use it to kill the aliens rolled into balls. 6. Poofer Gun and Lightning Rifle are the best weapons on this game. If you find these weapons, GET THEM! 7. If you find the Phaser (the less powerful weapon), AVOID IT! Only grab this weapon for emergencies. 8. Try to destroy the aliens as soon as possible, specially on Space Stations 04, 05, 07, and 08. This action will decrease the risk of finding the MOST DANGEROUS MONSTER - SNOTTERPILLAR.
