    A bit better, managed to take out 2 Invisibles. My biggest issue is the two gray robots getting in my way. 🤖

    Holy crap I HATE those two grey robots. They are such a nuisance. As soon as they see where your new gun appears I swear they make a B-line for that spot and just hover there forever. They are also very accurate with their shots as well. I've tried protecting the bats to limit when the grey robots come out, but they (bats) always eventually get killed by the one of the robots. I've had atleast one of them (bats) last until around 34,000 when the black robot was out, but his white laser bullet killed the last bat. 🙄

    I thought all games were Pre-mapped out this season? If we’re voting, I’ll agree with Shark! Shark! .... I’ll agree to just about any game.... 
     

     

    I think the games have been selected for the season yes, but the order is vote-able I believe. Meaning if Shark Shark is on Jacob's list for Season 13 and if enough people ask for it as game 4 then it could be next. If this game is NOT on his list then I believe that is a 'no'.

    Score Updates here;

     

    Yes, some ideas can be worked in. It could be bonus, could be a game round...

     

    I think a vote will be in order for game 4. As I see suggestions coming in. So you can vote in on games, that can overtake a game not requested.

    @JacobZu7zu7 My vote for game 4 is Shark Shark. It looks like the last time it was played here in the HSC was Season 11. Also what is the deal with Shark Shark 2, is that downloadable now? Meaning can I go grab it with my emulator? Sorry, still a n00bie.... 😜

    Thanks!!  Still running a mild fever, but both COVID tests negative, so we'll call that a good day.  

     

    I was hoping I had a decent lap, since I only had only counted 2 FUPs on that run and had 4 FUPs on my 3:06.  I think sub 3:00 is just barely possible in blue, but honestly, who would want to try?  🙂

    I just cannot believe you crushed your old unreal score by 5 seconds. My best with blue is 3:15, just cannot seem to do better. I'm still better with red by 2 seconds. I've now done 3:13 on Course 1 three times with red. 🙄

    My Racing Times Update - The Blue Car has cut the deficit to 2 seconds. Was down 3 seconds, now down 2 seconds. Who will win Course 1, the Red Car or the Blue Car? Place your bets, lol... 🤣

    Will the Red Car be able to shave off 1 more second for the optimal time or will the wild ass Blue Mustang be tamable for a time of 3 less seconds? The goal is 3:12, who will get it? 🤔

     

    Course 1 - Red Car 3:13

    Course 1 - Blue Car 3:15

    Course 2 - Red Car 5:58

    Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here? 

     

    LOL, no relation. Maybe a little MadDog in me... 

     

    Rapid test came back negative for COVID, so now waiting 2-3 days for another test to confirm COVID or not. Another possibility is West Nile. What a world we're in where West Nile is the 'good' outcome. 

     

    Anyway, I'll rest up and still get my blue car time in eventually, just too dizzy to drive at the moment. 🙂

    Feel better man... 🤢

    I wonder why Intellivision never came out with their own version of Atari's Yars Revenge? That was a SUPER cool game BITD!!! 👍

     

    I mean maybe there was a patent on it? But since Space Invaders didn't have one which lead to Space Armada being created I wonder why the same thing didn't happen with Yars? 

    Sooooo nothing about Yars Revenge? I loved that Atari game. I know that's sacrilege on an InTV board lol 🤣

    Yes, 3:06 was apparently my near-perfect lap 5 times in a row. If it's any consolation, I can't do it again either 🙂

    I kind of wish we had to run all 5 courses, that would have been cool I think. Maybe you have to use each car once and do each course, but each course you have to use a different car so when you are done you have used all 5 cars and done all 5 courses. Add up the best times for the 5 courses. 👍

    3:19 is awesome. You’re 4 seconds away! 
     

    I met my goal... I just wanted a faster run than the red car. I’m feeling like 3:06 would be my best lap that I did (x5).... Biffman... you had the ultimate run last year :) .... 

     

    On course 2, I just wanted under 6 minutes.... so I met both goals. Unless someone destroys my times.... I’m pretty much set. 

    I've done 3:19 with Blue twice and the last time I didn't crash once. It's that damn last upward turn that always kills my time....

    Nice! I find it fun once you can get as good or better with blue than you can with red, it's just maddening trying to put 5 laps together. 2 is usually as long as I can go without a brain fart. 

    Yeah those times are pretty fierce. My goal now is like you said to get the Blue car on Course 1 faster than Red car... I'm currently 4 seconds behind. I lose lots of time on that last damn curve upwards... 😤

    1st Entry for the 2nd Course - Working from home today so lunchtime I ran some races on Course 2. Some okay times and then this happened. One crash otherwise it 'might' have been under 6 minutes...😲 @BiffMan Dude you are right, this course is a BLAST. I've learned to do a wicked drift on the 180 hook when you start a new lap... I haven't perfected it though as that's where my 1 crash was, but when that one works it's pretty sweet 👍

     

    So far both courses....

     

    Course 1 Red Car - 3:15

    Course 2 Red Car - 6:05

    Agreed. And it’s just stupid in the grand scheme of things.  We aren’t playing for a World Championship here, or getting paid for it. 

    All my screenshots will either have the brand name 'Panasonic' downstairs or 'Vizio' upstairs in the pic. These are currently the only TVs we have. I use both. More so the Vizio lately, but for Pinball and Space Armada it was the Panasonic. 👍

    Yes, I love the drifting in this game! 
     

    I think I tried the blue car only once ... and from memory... it definitely IS a wild-mustang. Huge Cudos to Biffer for his run last year !!!! 
     

    Ps) we need to change the high-score to 3:06.... unless I’m mixed-up somewhere :) 

    I just tried the yellow car. It can fly, but not great on the turns. Tried the green car, great on the turns, but slow as sh*t lol
