Gorfy Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I hate to bring this up, but I recall Astroblast having a glitch in it that allows for really high scores. I don't remember exactly how it works, but it gives you tons of extra lives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoomUnit Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) Astroblast (Right Difficulty A): 18,050 Ha! I never realized that this was a PADDLE game. It's still not a great game, but it's much better than playing it with a joystick.Get your cleaning kits out, boys. It turns out that Astroblast uses the "Player 2" paddle.Indy 500 / Race:Aw, crap. I have the cart, but not the driving controllers. Edited June 28, 2015 by MoomUnit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I'm not aware of the glitch, but I am excited about Diff A. That's the way we always played when I was a kid. We never had paddles, so I'm used to playing with a joystick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember exactly how it works, but it gives you tons of extra lives. Here is link to explain glitch. If you pass 100K then go below 100K...every item you hit gives you an extra base until you pass 100K again.

oyamafamily Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 PAUSING ON ASTROBLAST Unless otherwise noted by Moderators, let's use the following note which I took from Atari 2600 Knockout Round 12 + High Score Challenge 2012: Classicgamer: "Also between lives, it's like a pause, so one can go away for a while and then come back. Is this legal?" JacobZu7zu7 (Moderator): "Yes that would be legal, for about 1-5 mins, respectably. Such as, if a bathroom break is needed, or to shake your hand from cramps, it's ok... but no long lunch breaks etc...it must be a session of gaming, not to "vacation" between each 10ks or something." This note is perfectly based on the recommendations about PAUSE on audio / video cassette recorder and CD / DVD player. But DON'T use pause abusively.

S.BAZ Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 15,955 i think that's my personal best! wow, that extra lives trick, I'm not sure that's even a glitch. I've never reached that stage in the game to know, but it seems like maybe that's meant to be part of the game. like, if you make it to 100k you have a little booster to make sure you don't get killed off unless you were way above 100k. of course that would mean a game might go on forever but hey, you gotta do it in one sitting anyway, right? If I had 99 extra lives at that level I think my score would just keep dropping back down no matter how times I kept going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LidLikesIntellivision Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) 300,000 Although I love Astroblast, its glitch is very annoying. I was going fine until the 300k mark, then I died and started to earn an extra life for every meteor I fired. Some minutes later and I finally lost all lives to show my score. 300,305 Edited July 2, 2015 by LidLikesIntellivision 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
