Congrats @Rickster8! And a special shout out to @Player One. We might not be neck and neck on every game, but when the dust settles... Well played!

I swear, some of these little guys have a death wish, running into my chopper as I'm trying to land. Keeping their lack-of-being-rescued skills in mind, I was able to save some more! Two more to go! 62

@JacobZu7zu7 Just checking I got the patch bonus, it's not listed in the first post 🐴

Footage of @Rickster8 analyzing the patterns in Maze-A-Tron:

Great season guys! Amazing scores here. Thanks for hosting Jacob!

There's nothing quite as thrilling as hitting those trapeze consecutively. Maybe jumping double blue monkeys. 89,070 Stage 9 no coins

Well, saved a few more. Take care good buddy. 56

So, did I read the manual correctly and the highest score we can get is 64? It's sad when a chopper full of your rescued hostages gets shot down. RIP little guys. I like when some of them wave to you before heading into the base 🇺🇸 50

Okay, so I bought the cartridge (sold separately) and my parents hooked it up. What next??

Missed this opp to share a vintage commercial!

Patch me up buttercup!! 4,550

oh so cloooooooose. dem doggies start to move only a teeny bit when you've been herded the same ones for a while. 2,983

Neat game, from what little I played of it 😕 Participation poiiiiiiint! Vectron: 3,600

Gaming took a backseat recently, but I did play some Maze-A-Tron, for a lovely participation score of 0. Mark it! 😆 *edit* and Rickster just updated the scores when I was writing this, lol Perhaps I'll get some Vectron in before the deadline. I'll tell ya tho, haven't been sold on these two from the convo these past few weeks 😝

Nice man! I haven't gotten past the trapeze level yet, but I was earlier this year and I remember being able to consistently jump from rope to rope. The bouncing is a valid way tho, that's why they're there I guess. And man, to survive the entire horse level and die at the end, bummer.

np man I forgot about shipping, of course, so the code ended up covering that for me, haha. I like the D&D shirt, and would be fun to wear to actual D&D, but I passed and decided to go with the baseball one for my bro. Yerrrrrr out.

In honor of this round, here's a sweet shirt that ya'll may have seen... https://www.intellivisionamico.com/shop/intellivision-cloudy-mountain-short-sleeve-unisex-t-shirt And here's a 20% off store code, good through 12/3 at midnight pst, that I got in an email (which you guys may have seen as well, lol): AMICO20

You're absurd man 👍🏼

When I sat down to play, I thought, I love Tapper, I'll try to play this every day. The longer my game lasted, the less I agreed with my original statement. Guess I was tapped out. This score is barrels over my arcade Tapper score. I was rooting for fierce competition, but I'm not sure I can beer it. But seriously, I wish I knew how long I was playing for, b/c for my standards of arcade style games, this was a very long one. I wonder if the score loops or hits a million? I do not have the patience or skill to find out. Aaaaand, I just saw NCG's record. WOW. 395,275 Screen 28

Congrats IsaiahAustin!

Congrats JasonAtari!

What a season ZilchSr! Nice job!!

LOVE me some tapper! I was close to suggesting this for my chosen week. Here's to my survival 🍻 Good luck!

Hmm, I'll try playing with the second controller. Thanks for the info and tips guys.

Controlling this game is a challenge. Running hurts my fingers, and making sure I run away from an enemy in order to shoot before it kills me is a bit stressful. Add in not being able to run and gun at the same time, woof. Part of the charm of these games, of course, is playing with the original hardware, but there are times like this that it's not helping. Maybe I'll try on emu for the heck of it. I am enjoying the game tho! Was able to beat skill level 2 with 2 guys left. No luck on skill 3 yet so far. Skill 2 (Medium, Blue Mountain) w/2 lives left Anyone else having a weird glitch where your player shoots arrows when you run and you are most definitely not touching any keypad buttons? This is not so good when you are trying to find arrows and the game decides to waste em on ya.
