It's an acoustic modem.
Phone companies at this time did not allow unapproved devices to be attached to phone lines, but Van Geen won approval for the modem by making it mimic the characteristics of an ordinary handset. -

19,180 - It's bill night so I only had time to try one round. Reminds me of a mini-game in Jak 3.

One last tip - don't kill off the invaders too quickly. If you take your time, extra Command Ships will appear on each round, and that could be worth a lot.
As an example of how much that helps, I've not yet made it to the no-shields round.

Thanx!
I spend less than 30 minutes a day on the HSC.

Flashback 2, or the first one?

That they do. I broke 2000 that one time, but have been hitting around 1800 ever since.

Could probably do this with a Supercharger - Suicide Mission
However, if I recall correctly, the COCO used analog joystick which worked well for a "circle the item" game. The Atari joysticks would pose a problem I think.

Cehck this - Interview 2: Warren Robinett
I did make a mistake in my random object placement code, and there is a 1 in 18 chance that the yellow key will start out in the yellow castle, making the game unwinnable. This only happens in level 3. -
2060 - cleared 2 boards a picked of a few command ships.

Glad y'all are enjoying it!
My tips:
1) go for the Command Ship - the 200 points goes a long way in this game variant.
2) If you're having trouble hitting the invaders, target slightly above where the laser bombs appear.
3) stay away from the left/right edge of the screen, else the fast zigzagging laser bombs will trap you.
