Vocelli

BAM! Breakthru Game! I think I can get higher but damn those yellow tanks come in fast. Vocelli: 304000

Really starting to play well. Backing up to avoid bullets really help. Vocelli: 218000

@Stan. You cannot use the same game as someone else for 101. No, of course you cannot cartridge fry for infinite lives. Let's all be fair.

Getting the hang of this one. Battlezone: 138000 Vocelli @Liduario. Think when zero left there was a big break in action. Many left. Jacob brought a lot of people back with the KO Tourney but then there was another long break in action. Hopefully, we can get the word out and only have short breaks.

Are you serious? 1,000 away from an extra life!!! Took me 5 games to get this score. I use the back up method. Yellow tanks come after 40K Vocelli: 99000

Man, great participation for a Monday! Getting the bonus out of the way then playing a lot tomorrow! Towering Inferno 101 Least Favorite Class English! I still don't even know what a preposition is...

This is week 9 Battlezone The year is 1999, and the nations of the earth have declared a world-wide peace plan. But there is a problem with the proposed truce. A council of military commanders has unleashed battalions of automated weapons into the countryside. These aerial fighters, flying saucers, tanks, and super-tanks will turn the world into a lifeless landscape unless you can stop them. Luckily, you've discovered an old military tank hidden inside the museum. Use your Joystick to steer the tank as you search for enemy automatons. Since your electronic periscope only gives you a front view from the tank, you'll have to rely heavily on your radar screen to detect the enemy. If you see a blip on the radar, you need to move fast! Use your Joystick to turn your tank until the enemy appears on the screen; press the red controller button to fire your turret gun.

Ok. I have decided to give out ONE bonus point to all of those people who did not receive any bonus points in the Galaxian round. I hope that is fair. In the future, 'Post a pic' will NOT be automatic. Your pic MUST reflect the subject matter. I will have to determine if you gets the points or not. Please, make it fun. I really enjoyed seeing what mythical creatures everyone posted. If this does not solve the Galaxian week problem. Please understand that being the Mod takes some time and creativity. I am trying.

Sorry my first week was not fun for you. But I stated in a previous post that Ghosts would not count. But to my point, when people vote it is not a random act. Points were not randomly given out. Did we randomly pick a president last night? No, there was a vote. Random would mean I pulled names from a hat or rolled dice to give out Bonus points. That didn't happen. I am not bending on this one and I hope you continue to play. But that is your choice.

Had the game of my life. Didn't die until 28K and then failed miserably. Using the joystick by the way. Vocelli: 31100

I have confidence in your game play that you wont need the points. Besides some people, like my wife, think that ghosts are real. I beg to differ when it comes to bonus points, a 'random factor' is like the bonus points this week (Kangaroo), You happen to get lucky and finish with the right combo to get 2 bonus points. That is lucky and random. Last week, the fun was trying to get a pic of a mythical creature and participating in doing such rare event and capturing that event. Sorry, I will try to make them less grey and more black and white. One week down and I am already pissing people off. Remember.... Lets have fun people, this is fun. Right?

My family votes on it. A wife and some teenage kids. They are tough aren't they.

At first I wanted to throw my controller. But now I am geting the hang of it. Vocelli : 20000

Ok: Might have to practice jumping a little more. Vocelli: 10400

Sorry TOY, the family decided Ghosts did not count a couple of days ago. Vote was 1-4 against Ghosts.

I also think I found my game. Not sure how many times I will play today. Vocelli: 33650

Eastern Time. You get an extra hour because we turn the clocks back this weekend.

Great game. Plays smoothly. Vocelli: 22620

Now, if had one night to live I would spend it with Gozer. That would be intense. But unfortunately, neither Gozer or The Stay Puff Marshmellow count. A night with Stay Puff.... no. I don't like sticky stuff. Sorry. Maybe someone can give you help or clues on other Mythological Creatures in Atari 2600 games.

That's Ok dude. Just keep playing! Your contribution to AA is appreciated. I love reading your game descriptions on a lot of games. Thanks!

Had to undergo the family vote... Since we would have accepted Gargoyl, Demon, Wizard, Witch, Necomancer and Ron Weasley then Ghoul passed. Votes were 3-2 in favor of Ghoul. We will not accept Ghost... sorry.

Vocelli: 16490

The Family voted and said, YES! Since we were willing to accept Gnome, Dwarf, Demon, Pixie or Fairy. Vote was 4-1 in favor of Gremlin,
