thanks roadrunner, I'll put up the score on web page(I can't edit my first post like before) so I'll just prob post it scores at end of week

[Gorfy]

I scored 7,770, but my screenshot didn't turn out. Even when I pressed F12 during the high score screen, the screenshot still did not come out legibly -- just a bunch of dots instead of numbers.

 

Well, if I manage to score higher than Roadrunner, then I'll take a snaphot with my digital camera.

[Gorfy]

By the way, nice score, Roadrunner!

 

I've always had a love/hate relationship with Star Castle -- great game, but frustrating as hell

[Dan Iacovelli]

I trust you gorfy.

[Gorfy]

You may need to turn phosphor mode on to take a snapshot F12, then again that still may not work because it is flickering lines on one frame and dots on the next frame to get that vector beam look. (Thomas's Star Castle Arcade.)

[Thomas Jentzsch]

I doubt the scores of both version are comparable. IMO you should really split the competition here.

[Gorfy]

Thanks for providing this awesome game, Thomas!! :thumbsup:

[Dan Iacovelli]

I doubt the scores of both version are comparable. IMO you should really split the competition here.

doesn't matter to me both are the same type of game just one is wip and the other isn't

after round 1 I will prob split the scores.

not much competion goin on now anyways,if I get more then we will see.

(if possible then next time any body posta score this round mention which version your using and I'll fix up scoring(the special one this saturday at Ghost

I can use either version since I have scotts cart and have the latest version of thomas on harmony)

[Gorfy]

New Score: 11,960

[Dan Iacovelli]

good score gorfy which version did you use?

 

---------------------------

1, Rmaerz 17,270 (used scott's)

2 Gorfy 11,960

3. road runner 9,510 (used Thomas')

 

(to me it doesn't matter what version is used both are basicly the same in game play )

[Dan Iacovelli]

played both version even though scotts has bit smaller graphics then thomas the game play does seem the same.

but like Isaid since threres only a few playing it doesn't matter to me if you played either version I will label in the scores which version

you used though. I just like giving some publicity to some homebrew games for the 2600.

[Gorfy]

good score gorfy which version did you use?
