peedenmark7 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 This game is the entire reason I got back into Atari 5200, but I suck at it . Weird 169,500 an easy one to top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Sometimes when I play this game the fire button just stops firing. I can use the bombs until they run out but can't shootno more until the next game. Does anyone else have this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peedenmark7 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) Roarunner are your controllers updated with gold contacts etc .? If so you may want to re-calibrate your machine. I had some issues on this one after calibrating for Gyruss , then ended up doing it again for Defender as I did not have full screen top to bottom movement which is typical of Missile Command if you are not calibrated..

roadrunner Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) The controller I'm using has a new flex circuit, the other one all original parts - doesn't work that wellI just use it for Robotron and Space Dungeon.I don't know how to re-calibate my machine.I was able to get a few good games in by turning the power off and reinserting the cart.107,625 Edited December 31, 2013 by roadrunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobZu7zu7 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Original Hardware. On my second try I made it to the final wave 99! 1,785,875 First I played Defender since the last time at Knockout. The game actually got me this time on the Normal setting, I ran out of ships and bombs after about 5-10 repeats of Wave 99. My other picture is my hand shaking from fatigue, taking a shot of my TV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just got second place by a hair, worth your extra time and effort. I'm sitting out Zaxxon 'cuz I don't own it, but I have some of the games coming up, like Qix, Mario, Breakout... so I'll be back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
