Atari 2600 Knockout Round 10: KUNG FU MASTER
DT Kofoed replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 2600 High Score Club
Man, are my skills rusty! I'm about 50K short of my personal best [which I hope to improve during competition]. -
Atari 2600 Knockout Round 9: MOON PATROL

25,160... grr! -
Atari 2600 Knockout Round 9: MOON PATROL
DT Kofoed replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 2600 High Score Club
I wish I would've started this sooner in the week. It's a fun game, and fairly well executed, but playing it well depends in large part on repetition and memorization, for which I don't have the time or energy to achieve distance. -
Atari 2600 Knockout Round 9: MOON PATROL
DT Kofoed replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 2600 High Score Club
First time playing this week 10,600... pretty crappy, I know, and now that my pick is next I have to make sure I'm alive for the coming round... we'll see what I can get up to this last two nights. 23,930... not so pathetic -
Atari 2600 Knockout Round 8: ADVENTURES OF TRON
DT Kofoed replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 2600 High Score Club
37,800, and I'm not in last any longer. Not sure if I'll play again tonight to try and get more points, or not. Moon Patrol very well could be the game that does me in, here! -
Atari 2600 Knockout Round 8: ADVENTURES OF TRON
DT Kofoed replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 2600 High Score Club
Barely survived last round... now a game I've never played before! Weird, but I think I'm getting the hang of it... first few scores are still too embarrassing to post, but I should have something to get on the board later today. Ok, we'll start at 28,500 and go from there. -
Atari 2600 Knockout Round 7: POLE POSITION
DT Kofoed replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 2600 High Score Club
Oof. Glad I finally broke 60K! I almost forgot to play again this week, but then I noticed I'd been passed by most everyone, and that just wasn't going to be acceptable! -

DT Kofoed replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 2600 High Score Club
This is actually a personal best for me, and no where near competitive! I think I had a surplus of a measly 5 seconds, but that's all I'm playing tonight. -
Atari 2600 Knockout Round 6: RAMPAGE
DT Kofoed replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 2600 High Score Club
Here are some hints: - The only real threat are the army guys inside the buildings. They shoot fast and fierce. You can make them go away by knocking down any building. Doing so, for some reason, makes them go away. Better yet, eat them for health! Also, check my prior hint on where the yummies can be found inside buildings. I've frequently had a string of yummies pop up one-after-the-other in the SAME SPOT I WAS ALREADY AT, so all I had to do was keep hitting the button to eat them all.. I think my longest eating streak was 12-15 in a row. -

Jakob, don't forget to update that I capped it before the Teach, here. Thanks. -

DT Kofoed replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 2600 High Score Club
Also a hint for anyone who's having trouble. Knock out the upper "window" spot on any/all of the tallest buildings, and leave them standing while you demolish the rest: that's the spot where food/poison appears [good luck telling which is which, though]. XXXX X X X <---- those ones XXXX X X X XXXX -

Put a cap on it. I usually play Lizzie, but the wife wanted to see Ralph for a change. I must say I like seeing the game list in advance, though a couple of those I dread having towards the end of competition, because I know my skills. -

249,000. Lost my attention at the end there. "Lizzie over" -

DT Kofoed replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 2600 High Score Club
60,650... participant ribbon! I'm not digging a low cap on the game this week. I say play on, or if need be, at least keep the cap really high. It's not the most boring VCS game I've played... [i find it oddly charming, even... I know! right?] -
Atari 2600 Knockout Round 5: RIVER RAID
DT Kofoed replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 2600 High Score Club
47,890... minor bump, frustrating as heck. I KNOW I can do better, by my hand is cramping a bit on the stick. -

The fumes from the exploding fuel tanks are causing me... to... mutate! Must destroy! -
Atari 2600 Knockout Round 5: RIVER RAID
DT Kofoed replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 2600 High Score Club
My kids and I are convinced that I'm playing the bad guy in this game: no one ever shoots back, just desperately tries to get away from the scene. Happy little cruise ships, tourist helicopters, passing passenger planes, and basic transportation infrastructure are my targets for wanton destruction. I am raiding the river. -

43,470. Finally starting to get a feel for this one. I'm not getting bumped yet! -

33,600. Not too embarrassing of a score, but clearly this isn't going to keep me safe -
Atari 2600 Knockout Round 4: KOOL-AID MAN
DT Kofoed replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in 2600 High Score Club
37,000, a personal best for this game. You guys always bring out my A game, though, so hopefully I can top even this. Some of your scores here are just sick! This was one of my favorites as a kid, and the only M Network game I or anyone I knew had, which made it even cooler. Also brings back some other memories of college-age indiscretions: "It's Kool-Aid.................................... Man!" -

Not nearly as cheesy as most Atari commercials: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0Mvwh_Jjhc&feature=share You know, like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cuTMXdKaqQ&feature=share -

222,250 Normally I'd take a picture of a score like this... but the way you've all been playing, it doesn't seem so important today! -
