Gorfy Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Surprisingly, I don't have this game, so Stella it is this week! Anxious to get started, so I'm gonna post a score even if it sucks.... 36,800 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algus Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 32,800 Hey I feel pretty good about scoring almost as much as Gorfy on my first attempt! I've not played this one before but I'm an old Nintendo fan so I've played the NES and Arcade versions many times. This is a very good translation! I had fun with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avii Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 So this is my first HSC, I was just wondering do I have to do anything to Stella? Or do I just start the game as is and go for it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 So this is my first HSC, I was just wondering do I have to do anything to Stella? Or do I just start the game as is and go for it? You probably can just start the game as is since we're playing game 1 on level B difficulty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) So this is my first HSC, I was just wondering do I have to do anything to Stella? Or do I just start the game as is and go for it? We are playing this game with left difficulty B and right difficulty B. Usually Atari games start with these settings but you can press F6 to set left difficulty as B and F8 to set right difficulty as B. In stella you have: LEFT DIFFICULTY B: F6 LEFT DIFFICULTY A: F5 RIGHT DIFFICULTY B: F8 RIGHT DIFFICULTY A: F7 --- I forgot about game 1. Gorfy's last post remembered me. You can choose which game by pressing F1 and F2 is to start a game. These keys will help you in future rounds. As Gorfy said, for this game, you can just play it right away.

Also, use F12 to get a screenshot via the emulator if you don't want to use a camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I remember finding this game at a yard sale once. I thought, 'Hey, it ain't too shabby!' I mean sure, the bonus wafers are questionable, but it's due to the limits of the Atari 2600! Anyway, first score! It's good to be back! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitanClassic Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 After three games, much improved... 94,900 Also discovered a possible way to milk points by killing the icebergs, but haven't perfected it yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Also discovered a possible way to milk points by killing the icebergs, but haven't perfected it yet. That method has been mentioned in the 2005 thread as a big no-no. See the link gorfy posted above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitanClassic Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) Levels 9 & 10 are definitely milkable. So, are we outlawing milking Iceman? If so, shouldn't we just go by highest level reached?CapitanClassic - 369,600 Edited January 19, 2016 by CapitanClassic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
