That's amazing. Well done

Thanks -- I have to give some credit to you for suggesting starting the game in Australia.

Coming in late this week because I was kinda depressed all week and didn't really feel like playing video games, but I did make it my goal to play every round this season so I finally put a little time into both games tonight.

Spider-Man (Game 1, B/B Difficulty): 1,970

Spiderdroid (Game 1, A/B Difficulty): 4,925

Hope you're feeling better. Depression is at its worst when it stops a person from enjoying the things that give them the most joy.

I'm curious as to where everyone starts in tumble. I find Australia gets me the most points

Eastern Russia (I presume that's what it is -- it's not a very precise map). At any rate, it's the first level you encounter after defeating Australia.

Rush 'n Attack 43,300.

September 7, 2020

Spiderdroid 6,179. Vocelli, I think there has been some confusion between my scores and Atari_Warlord's scores (I will probably have to give up my user name at the end of the season because A_W had it first and it just causes too much confusion). Also, my current, already-posted high score for Spider-Man is 1,960. I'm posting it here again for your convenience.

Tumblepop 112,500.

City Defence Expert Mode: 4,540.

Eyes 216,930.

September 3, 2020

Rush 'n Attack 18,100. After my first experience with this game I wasn't planning on competing for it at all, but I figured I should at least get a score up on the board. I'm actually starting to like it.

September 2, 2020

Spiderdroid 3,990.

August 31, 2020

Spideramidardroid 2,936. I think Spider Fighter might have been a better choice for a spider game, just sayin'.

August 29, 2020

Tumblepop 80,600.

August 29, 2020

Spider-Man 1,960.

August 29, 2020

Spiderdroid 2,147.

August 29, 2020

24,000. I hate this game more than COVID-19.

August 28, 2020

Star Castle 4,050. In my humble opinion, I think whoever suggested the game (lookin' at you S.BAZ) should give us an idea how to play it. Not looking for tip freebies but it would be nice to know about some of the quirks that make it so hard to play (starting with my earlier question of why you can't see your own lasers).

Review from woodgrainwonderland.com

Spiderdroid (Froggo, 1987)

Well, I got duped again. Spiderdroid is a full-on hack of Parker Brothers’ Amidar and not a particularly good one at that. The control is particularly sluggish and inaccurate (the original wasn’t great on those counts, either, but they’re even worse here). Otherwise, just about everything else is the same, right down to the style of the score counter. The Froggo/Sancho group of companies were notorious for releasing poor games but at least they were original content most of the time – I never thought they would stoop to outright theft. I rated Parker Brothers’ Amidar a C+ but Spiderdroid gets an F for ethical reasons.

Thanks for the quote. I've actually been thinking about dusting off the old blog again.

Ah 2600 Spider-Man: a familiar old nemesis. Very clever to write an Amidar clone off as a spider game?.

August 27, 2020

Star Castle 3,460. This game isn't nearly as hard as Rush 'n Attack (which I find damn near impossible) but I still haven't figured out any kind of strategy. Only time I've ever shot the middle ship was completely by accident
