Dauber Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) 81,382. A little better, but nowhere near how a lot of you folks are doing! BTW, a little point pressing tip: I've found that on patient 1, if you're pretty accurate with your shooting early in the game, it's safe to shoot the blood cells until your score reaches about 7,000. Try not to completely destroy any blood cells; basically, just keep firing on your way through. Also...I tried a couple of rounds with the Uber Arcade stick....the buttons on that thing are VERY sensitive -- you might want to COMPLETELY remove your hand from anywhere near the fire button on that stick when you're going through the blood cells, but be ready to fire when you see the enzymes.

Northcoastgamer Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 First attempt: 49,850. Never played this game before. I gotta say...I'm impressed! Very interesting concept! Trivia question: Scott Rhoades was the Atari tech writer behind the BasketBrawl manual, and he snuck hidden references to some of his favorite music in the stories. Name either the name of the band (that is, a musical group consisting of more than two members!) that was the influence for one of the character's names, or the song that influenced the back story behind Tommy "Biff" Torrance.

Northcoastgamer Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 In 1982, for $99, a particular third party software company offered a monogrammed version of one of its games for the VCS and would program a players initials (up to 3) into it. Name the company and the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcoastgamer Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Also in 1982, Nexar by David Lubar was released by Spectravision. However, it was originally supposed to have been released by another third party software company. Name the company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LidLikesIntellivision Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 85,626 This game brings me good memories. I'm not talking about old memories but great recent memories after joining the HSC. Hi everyone!This is my first post and I've got only 118,219 in my third try.I had the Atari 2600 since 6 years old up to about 13 years old.I hadn't this game but played a couple times.I hope to participate more in the future and I wonder if it's possible to join in round 11. Of course, I wouldn't "compete" but it could be nice to join the team and compare scores.Sorry for my bad English, not used to write in English.First record submited: 118,219Second: 179,418Third: 204,419Fourth: 227,530Fifth: 253,858sixth: 271,1627th: 304,5148th: 345,932 WoW 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobZu7zu7 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) OK, I'm gonna guess that it was you then, Jake Correct! (ROLLAGE) was first spoken at Season 8 Game 22 - Off The Wall by yours truly here. I was rolling a few games that season, and it seemed more humorus or quicker then typing I ROLLED IT. I did just keep posting ROLLAGE!!! from then on in. Didn't know it would catch on so well but I enjoy seeing it!... especially since I can't remember my last rolled game http://atariage.com/forums/topic/175752-high-score-club-822-off-the-wall/page-3 "Wed Jan 26, 2011 1:24 AM Post #55 Rolled it on my first try, in a day or two. Ok maybe 3rd, but my scores were only 3,000 and 9,000 I messed up my tokens. But ROLLAGE, 100,000K+ Things looked grim at 50ks and 70ks... but I came back from only 1 life left to end with, like 8+ lives...!"

Spacey Invader Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 117,561 Saved my third patient. This is probably it, I just feel too guilty when that fourth patient flatlines. And if it's not too late for a trivia question, what was the zip code of the first Atari HQ in CA? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
