Atarian7 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Tied with karo at 19,600. This is fun and was a good choice. I would have never played this game if not for the HSC. What is GORF? Is it an acronym? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KaeruYojimbo Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Joining the 10K club with 12,900. I thought about making some sort commemorative graphic. Something that combines the thrill of reaching 10,000 points with the heartbreaking realization that it's only 10,000 points, but I couldn't come up with anything really good. Brutal game but still fun. It was one of my dad's favorites on the Colecovision. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Kofoed Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 First day playing this week: 21700 Must've blown up the flagship what, 5-6 times? Whatever the number, that's some bonus points there! I have to admit I appreciate this game much more after playing the arcade machine for the first time in my life this February at Stella's Lounge in Grand Rapids. I was all, this is Gorf ?!?! Wow! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorfy Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 159,300 Please note that Gorf scoring is limited to 5 digits, so when you roll over, it uses a special symbol to represent the first two digits. In this case the first symbol in the score, which resembles a "Y", represents "15". 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, every 10k beyond 100k a new symbol appears. Weird. I've yet to reach my personal high of 276,950, but I think I'm ready to move on to Venture.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamc Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Gorf - 25,300. I took out 8 motherships. Bonus: Type & Tell, the Odyssey2 game that let you spell out curse words and let The Voice pronounce them.

karokoenig Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Finally! Cracked 20k, last minute. I had 16-19 k several times, always getting killed one or two hits before the 20k threshold. Now, my goal for this week is achieved. Sorry, Atarian7. I could have lived very well with a tied score with you. But I was so pissed off at the game, I just had to try again... New score: 22,400. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atarian7 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) Hey karo, I improved too: 25,100 I lost on the flagship which shouldn't happen. The Space warp is where I usually lose. Edited April 10, 2016 by Atarian7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
