18000. I don't really even know how I scored those points. I should read the manual.
-
274 on Twerps. 14000 for Shadow World. I found them both pretty frustrating and unfamiliar, but I'm glad to have played them.

9895. Seems to be about all I can muster, Mister. At least for this round. Pretty cool game. Has a very Apple //ish feel to it. I wonder if it used the internal speaker on the 800. Anyone? I'm using an XE so I can't tell the difference.

MAME HSC - Round 6of10 - Quartet and Sengoku 3
Fres replied to Cynicaster's topic in Arcade/MAME High Score Club
Man, I haven't heard of either of these games. Wish I had been here for the beginning of the season. DK is a favorite of mine lately. 24000 on Quartet 2. I haven't tried Sengoku 3 yet because my current panel only has two buttons for player 1. -
HSC19 R6: MR ROBOT III / + SERPENTINE
Fres replied to therealbountybob's topic in 8-bit High Score Club
Just starting out so far. I haven't messed with the Mr. Robot ones yet but I'm looking forward to it. Always liked the original game. Just 7750 on Serpentine so far, but I'll give that one a lot more effort on the next try. I remember having that game on cartridge many years ago, but it seems I don't have it anymore. I never really played it back in the day, so I'm looking forward to that one too! -

HSC19 (2022) R4: POOYAN + E.T. Bonus
Fres replied to therealbountybob's topic in 8-bit High Score Club
Sorry, forgot to post my scores earlier. I believe I had exactly 40000 on E.T. but I didn't get a screenshot. I will verify later. On Pooyan, I had 127,800. -

I always found the death noise in The Lone Raider to be pretty terrifying. Atari 400 800 XL XE Lone Raider (The) : scans, dump, download, screenshots, ads, videos, catalog, instructions, roms (atarimania.com)

I'm not finding this one too easy. 76030 on the Datasoft version. I have a cartridge version (the one I grew up with) around here somewhere. Might give that one a try, but I remember always starting on Key level as a kid. I remember my sister and I would always try to beat 100,000. She did but I don't think I ever did.

I didn't want to post a speed run unless I cracked 20000. So, I finally did. Exactly 20000! My latest high score is also slightly improved over my previous post (67370):

Dorsett Educational & Atari Talk & Teach Files and Ult. Cart
Fres replied to gilsaluki's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
It occurred to me that I have a bluetooth cassette in my car that I use to listen to music from my phone. If you put one of these into an Atari program recorder, could you stream a recorded flac file to the cassette, then Atari without recording to actual tape? I don't have a program recorder at the moment, but I had been thinking about getting another one at some point. -
Fun game. Back in the day, I only got past the first few levels, but now I'm finding it quite entertaining. 51405.

Finally got a usable 8-bit setup in working order again... 76200 on DK. Figured i'd give it a go on this old thing too, but it didn't turn out well after one attempt.

I believe the only one I ever attended was AUGI, but I think there were some other ones around here for a while. IIRC, AUGI stood for Atari User's Group of Indianapolis. Larry might be able to help me with that one.

Top Ten Lists of 8-Bit Action/Arcade Games?
Fres replied to rocketfan's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I always liked Conan, Gauntlet, Zombies (Realm of Impossibility), Mountain King, Brundles, Encounter!, Pharaoh's Curse, Hard Hat Mack, and Fortnite. -
I found that a lot of the "budget" games from the late 80s / early 90s seemed more like demos (heavy on music and graphics, not very playable). I would learn later that some of this was due to my NTSC limitations. I still don't have a PAL machine but I don't really care.

I wanted to like Elektraglide. I found it very difficult. Mirax Force too. Played the hell out of Donkey Kong and Montezuma's Revenge, though. For what it's worth, I found Star Raiders to be pretty difficult, but so impressive. Sincerely, Rhopressa Ophthalmic

programming An IRC Client...in BASIC?!

Amazing. -
For non-type-ins, I shouldn't forget, "Can't Quit" ... it was pretty well done. http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-can-t-quit_873.html I'm also sentimental about Letterman and States and Capitals because I played the hell out of them as a kid. http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-letterman_2974.html http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-states-and-capitals_5046.html

I liked Color Puzzle (Colour Puzzle) from Dell's Games For Your Atari but it looks like it was not well received according to atarimania (3/10). http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-colour-puzzle_33971.html
