    See, Spiceware, my scores just don't hold up. :|

    I gather the 5th ghost has played this before. Something tells me mine won't hold up on this one either, I'm only incrementally improving my score at this point. Oh well, still fun :)

    I've found on the higher levels, when the galaxian's swerve left/right a lot, it helps to stay closer to the 1/4th or 3/4th position on the bottom of the screen instead of 1/2(center). The excessive swerve forces Galaxian's you've missed to go off the edge of the screen instead of swerving back and hitting you.

    SpiceWare congratulations! That's an amazing score! I'm going to try and play some more today or tomorrow, but I'd be happy if I broke 20,000. What I like about HSC is it challenges you to do better, and shows you what a better standard is. There are such good gamers in here! It's fun.  :)

    Thanx!

     

    What I like about the HSC is I'll play games I've not played before. I have 178 games(4 Starpath tapes, the rest cartridges), yet I always find myself playing the ones I played as a kid. For the games I don't have on cartridge I have a Krokodile Cartridge(it had troubles with Sir Lancelot though).

     

    Astroblast is one I have on cartridge. The only time I tried it before HSC was when I was winning lots(as in sold-as-a-group) of cartridges on ebay and I'd try them all to see if they worked.

    Ok - there is a glitch around 100K. I imagine it happens around every 100K as I noticed something at 500K.

     

    at 100K I had 33 bases. I purposely killed a few to get my score under 100K. By the time I was back over 100K I had 62 bases!

     

    I did it again and got the bases to 99. They max at 99 - I feel silly now for purposely dieing yesterday the couple times I got in the 90s.

    How long do you think that took?

    929337[/snapback]

    about 6 hours. I took lots of breaks. I did get a bit nervous about losing power at one point when it started thundering :ponder:
    After I hit 100000 it seemed like the number of bases shot up.
    Hmm, I noticed something around 500K. I'd just past 500K, then died a few times in a row. When I was back over 500K the # of bases seemed higher than it should have been. I figured I was imagining things, so didn't think about it until you mentioned it.

    Thanx!

     

    My tip - Use a real paddle. I just tried playing with Stella and got 17,800 using a paddle(the range is different than on the VCS, will take a bit to get used to).

     

    In other words, if you're using an emulator it would be to your advantage to purchase a Stelladaptor before the next paddle game comes up on the HSC.
