I'm not a car guy, but i am drawn to these lower-color conversions (and the twin cockpits if i'm being honest lol).

First time ever playing this game is tonight. Getting a little further every try, fun stuff! First tank was the death of me this time.

Might have another go later but 26,600 for now.

I did finally clear the first board without dying with 14380.

...and finally 34960 although not the same game

maybe one more try but i think i am just bad at this one.

edit: in retrospect it looks like maybe i died lol. disregard the level 1.

Hello! I don't know if you're still wondering about this, but @Rybags offers a method in this older topic.

Playing this game as a kid on my Atari computer was proof my 2600 was a toy.

I watched James play this on the @ZeroPage Homebrew stream, see the photos posted above, and I think, "What a bizarre and elaborate hoax!"

(Epic achievement @Dionoid!)

Wow - this version is HARD! I'm used to the 7800 port, and in this one, the ghosts become little cruise missiles very quickly!

I only remember it from the arcade, and this seems much harder than that as well.

One tip for new players, use the tunnels. It slows down the ghosts but not Ms. Pac-Man.

33290

Hm, I thought I was done because I'm not going catch @therealbountybob or @McKong but it seems @graywest has provided a realistic goal.

At least for now, 104200...

I'm interested to see how high somebody gets on level 1. I got so lucky, and just 20,800...

atari000.png.265d5cba327bd198a8e01014eda5cb9d.png

In a later run I manage 87,600 for a new personal best.

Now I am passing the sparks level pretty reliably if I get there... it's the springboard level that gives me trouble.

Hello

Jittery paddles is normal

most likely you only need to open them up and clean them.

hast du schon mal deutsch gesehen?

edit: (I only joke, because in my day job i've tried to use google translate to decipher the comments in a certain German accounting software)

(playing the enhanced version under atari800 emulator on PAL using the keyboard)

i was stoked to get 39100 on my first man...

...then my second man never moved before the blue snapjaw chomped his head because i was busy taking the screenshot

still a personal best 83,900 though

@therealbountybob Is it okay that my 14 year old daughter joins the HSC? She will use the name Dinky2008 ... I will post her scores too and specify which one were her scores and which one were my scores. Is it okay?

Hi Marius

Last time i participated we had a 'junior' atarian whose scores were posted by their parent as you suggest. i am certain it is fine with mr. bob; i only speak up because it's getting pretty late over there

...

I had this game back in the day and surprisingly i... am not any worse at it.

Early returns 14,400 for level 1 and 51,900. Died to the sparks, can't remember if I ever passed it yet.

somebody should do something like this, so we can re-post it every time the soccer/football/futbol/handegg argument comes up on atariage

hello

you most likely need to use a tool like the linux 'dd' command, or similar ported for your OS

see e.g.

Is it just me or are most of these levels literally impossible??

it helps in finding a solution to believe that one exists.

December 17, 2022

hi zybti,

looks good! the .atr has some levels already completed, is there a progress reset function?

also at least on atari800 emulator the screen jumps in NTSC.

thank you

...as disk drives speed up in terms of access time we can't be too far way from a true animated adventure.

Whether people want animated adventures or not is another question. They say that a picture paints a thousand words, but fifty words can paint a much more graphical image on the mind than an 8k screen display.

That is why Lord of the Rings, and other books of that genre, will never make a successful transition to the cinema screen or the home computer...

maybe i'm missing something (and maybe not my place to say) but pretty sure it was a light hearted joke about the idea of literally naming a library 'zero thought [library]'. anyway thank you for sharing it here.
