Hi,

 

Nice score! That is one of the all time classic Activision games, great sound effects, cool visuals. I remember by brother getting this game for Christmas and how exciting it was to play, to be the first to reach the Space Dice stage...

 

I personally maxxed out the score on this game I just don't remember if it stops at 999,999 or if it just starts back to 0, it's been a long time. Once you get in the groove, it's pretty easy to do. Keep playin!

no way dude, my best is 107,700. I suck at this game. By the second complete sequence some of the vertically scrolling objects are too crazy for me, and I always lose tons of ships.

 

Its way fun, though. And if you like Megamania, check out Snider-man's MST3K hack of it!

 

[mark]

i'll defenatly will keep playin and hope i someday will roll the game like you (nice job), it might be tommorow.

 

the game is both easy and very difficult. easy as in you just shoot em up but can be a tad difficult with the varations. and hard as in you need to be consistant.

 

what is the space dice level?

also, in enduro, i got to day 8 with 9 cars to go. how did you do in that game?

Dude I SO totally suck at Enduro.

 

I got to day 5 once and thought I was the King of Enduro. Needless to say, I am the peon of Enduro. I love the game though.

[mark]

if i get to day 10 (if its possible) i'll post a pic of it

[mark]

if someone got 13000 points in enduro what day would he be at? and that was recorded back in 86, i was 3.

 

thats a sweet site. i like how its documented. and 6 people got 999,999, all i have to say is Dang thats good..

Dude I SO totally suck at Enduro.

 

 

I totally suck at almost all Atari games! I love video games but I've never claimed to be any good at 'em! Luckily, I've got a couple hundred to keep me busy.

Hi Mark,

 

The Space Dice level is the one with the falling meteors (actually looked like hunks of swiss cheeze to me as a kid )

 

I also love Enduro but don't remember if I ever reached day 10, I will put some time into it and see what I can do!

Here are the waves for Megamania. After this cycle they will repeat with different colors, different attack patterns, and finally, all objects will be worth 90 points.

Hamburgers 20 points

Cookies 30

Bugs 40

Radial Tires 50

Diamonds 60

Steam Irons 70

Bow Ties 80

Space Dice 90

 

I've scored 999,999 on this title. My name is listed on Twin Galaxies scoreboard for Megamania. I think it is one of the easiest Activision games to Max-out the score. Two other very easy games to max-out are Laser Blast and Spider Fighter. Practice up and get your name listed among the ranks of the legendary players!!

I thought these were the Megamania waves:

 

Round 1. The Crawling Hand

Round 2. Ro-man from Robot Monster

Round 3. Mr. B Natural

Round 4. Trumpy from Pod People

Round 5. Kitten With a Whip

Round 6. Torgo from Manos:Hands of Fate

Round 7. Mitchell!

Round 8. The Deep 13 logo.

i too got 999,999 2 days ago

[the 5th ghost]

I think those were bad movies that Mystery Science Theater made fun of...

 

Manos, Hands of Fate, good Lord was that bad

Here's what I was talking about 5th Ghost:

Mystery Science Theater 2600

 

"We got Atari SIGN!!!!!!"

[the 5th ghost]

Ok Mark,

 

I played a game of Enduro and made it to day 7 with 47 cars to to reach day 8

 

Not bad for the first game in a long time! I will try to improve upon that...

Well then, you're almost up to the orange cones. Now THAT makes Enduro hard.

[the 5th ghost]

I love it Snider-man! Very cool version of Megamania

[the 5th ghost]

I just played a 2nd game of Enduro and made it to day 9 with 17 cars to go to make it to day 10. Damn crash at the end!

[the 5th ghost]

Hey Cafeman,

 

Ever check out Groovy! in the South Side??

 

Doug

[+Cafeman]

Nope, I think I heard about it though (if its a place with Atari/80's games stuff). I heard their prices were steep. Same place maybe?

[the 5th ghost]

That's the place but the prices aren't steep, trust me, I work there and personally price the Atari stuff!

 

Check it out sometime...

[+Cafeman]

Maybe I'll shoot down there during lunch soon. Is it on Carson Street? If so, how far from Nicks Fat City?

[the 5th ghost]

1304 E. Carson St.

 

Its a couple of blocks down from Nicks going towards the 10th street bridge.

 

I'm only working there on mondays and saturdays but I may be in tomorrow.
