zylon Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Our game this round is Choplifter. Play on starting settings and remember that this game doesn't use "points". Instead, it goes by lives saved. Emulation is allowed, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC records. Round ends Sunday, June 2nd 2013 @ 9pm EST Current HSC record. Bust it for a bonus point!

BillyHW Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I can't get my chopper to fire. I don't know if it's something wrong with my emulator or the ROM or what. I'm positive it's not the joystick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerG Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I saved 15, but then the jets just wipe me out. They are tough to dodge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I like the nite time look the game has and the stars in the sky. Plus it has a demo mode and shows the final score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tried it out on the emulator atari800winplus the keyboard controls are right ctrl to move your choppa and shift to fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should buy one of these at some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerG Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I was checking in to see the new game for the next two weeks, but we still have a week left . My four year old was watching me play this and she was quite concerned when my chopper went down. She wanted to know what happened to all the people. Hmmm.

ReflectionAngle Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Looks like original equipment is a plus for this game. BTW, this game really makes me want to see a mid-80s helicopter movie. It's too bad Netflix and Amazon don't stream Blue Thunder. Lives Saved: 54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why you have to watch it like you're still in the 80's: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zylon Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) This round comes to a close with darthkur taking the win and nearly the record. I didn't have this one, but was busy anyways with Millipede. We'll now move on to LR&SS III. Hope you'll join us there. Final scores- 61 darthkur +11 58 chuckwalla +10 54 Red Tide +9 47 sdamon +8 42 peedenmark7 +7 31 roadrunner +6 31 jblenkle +6 21 atariron82 +5 15 RangerG +4 13 Cafeman +3 Edited June 3, 2013 by zylon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Just curious as to why Roadrunner got +6 and I got +5 when we both rescued 31? Is it because he did it first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
