keilbaca Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Keilbaca - Defender - 131,800 Wall Defender - 321,359 For Defender... I may have had one too many to drink. I was doing just fine, then I'd lose all my lives on a single wave. I know I can roll this... I've done it before... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickeycolumbus Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 No new scores for me yet, but I noticed that my name is down twice for the bonus scores. The lower score is older, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) I also experienced the bug where you no longer get big aliens, but also the enemies just stop coming. oh yeah! that happened to me two times, including my best score. no big aliens, that helps a lot! I think when a wall gets crashed, the aliens get reset & the big ones come back. there might be a strategy here... if one can just figure out how to make the big ones stop coming! then maybe you could make it last by staying alive on the smallest wall & not earning a new wall -- up to the point where it's about to freeze and then win a new wall. then hold out on the next bigger one as long as possible. then back to hoping for good luck! making the big ones stop could it be possible?

Botbird208 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Yay I'm done. 991100, and anything over 990k is consiedered rolled. My #1 tip: Play some music so you dont kill yourself of boredom! Just make a playlist on Youtube or something. Btw, I timed it and It took me a tiny bit over 2 hours to get the highscore, with really short breaks to delete bad songs from the playlist and let my wrist rest (Carpel tunnel alert!)

Stan Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Let's do this the right way. Second attempt. I could easily roll this one, it's a matter of two things. Sanity level, and a bit of luck. Several times an unlucky position did me in. 204,350 Edited March 15, 2014 by Stan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Kinzer Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 YAAAAY!!! I'm back and after awhile I finally beat my old high score: 57150 (which I didn't post). I'm now at 76200! Although, I've only spent enough time on Wall Defender to scrape up a measly 26353 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Kofoed Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Question for the Moderator: my daughter just created an Atariage account (Rainbow Kitty ... she wouldn't listen to me...) to play in the HSC with me and her brother. There's a delay between creating an account and having permission to post in the forums. Now, she's concerned that she'll miss out on this week's contest because she can't post her scores. If I post them here, will you credit them to her, just until she can post under her own account? If you search Rainbow Kitty, you'll see she joined on the 12th. I can guarantee she won't be bumping anyone out of first place, since she's only 8 and fairly new to retro/real gaming... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 since she's only 8 and fairly new to retro/real gaming... I guess that means no cussing anymore, heh... Welcome to the whole family! New Defender score, and lost the pic again. 127,000. I was so bored of the game after about 10 minutes that I didn't pay attention and died twice in a row. Didn't let go of the button quickly enough.

StanJr Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Rainbow Kitty is a GREAT name! Good for her! Welcome Rainbow Kitty and have fun! I can't speak for the rule makers, but I have no problem with you proxy posting for her until her account gets activated! As for your ol' pal StanJr, rollage, baby. Here's your before and after. (edit: it uploaded them in after and before!) Took me 161 waves and just at two hours. Edited March 15, 2014 by StanJr 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have Rainbow Kitty post her scores in your posts ans I will be fine. Just label them accordingly.

dark-aleph Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 The very next shot took my score to exactly 000000, and also finished wave 149! Kinda cool to see the level 50 title on the screen while having no points at all I'm playing my games via Stella so that I can play the same NTSC version as others. I know the PAL versions are sometimes slower and thus easier. But so far both HSC games have seemed the same speed as I remember... did Atari adjust the speed accordingly in their PAL releases? Maybe I just can't tell the difference without playing them side by side I hope the next game is friendlier to my thumb. These shooters are starting to hurt! Let's hope for a buttonless Pac-Man clone... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitanClassic Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Trying to determine if it is worth it to make further improvements to my scores. Wall Defender is buggy and results in cheap deaths, Defender is tedious. Defender - 205,450 Wall Defender - 520,934 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I hope the next game is friendlier to my thumb. These shooters are starting to hurt! Let's hope for a buttonless Pac-Man clone... the next game Vanguard should be a welcome treat! it has autofire option, no button needed... Welcome Rainbow Kitty! our new youngest player and I have a little improvement at Wall Defender: 766895 a tip: on the last two walls, guard the top & bottom more closely - you can often get there soon enough to have two shots at the big alien. this game I was doing great but got stuck on a corner! & the big alien hit.

Stan Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Good to see you presenting your username on a piece of paper, Stan! I HAVE RETURNED. I see in your video you use the same tactic I do, and I assume everyone is. I made most of my points on the red alien levels and just let everyone die. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
