[DarQ Massacres]

on the cosmic creeps game, the high score says pole position

[DarQ Massacres]

cosmic commuter - 271

cosmic creeps - 7,800

crazy climber - 36,800

 

[toiletunes]

very grateful it's not Double Dragon.

[DanielJSorenson]

Cosmic Commuter: 10,540

Crazy Climber: 18,300

Cosmic Creeps: 11,300

Bonus (Copter Commander): 728

 

The three "Cosmic..." games are ones I never had as a kid. The homebrew game could be addicting. We'll see. The contest is young. Hopefully I can improve upon these scores while there is still time.

 

 

 

 

[Atarian7]

Those are 3 games I have but have never played. It should be fun.

[Scrabbler15]

Crazy Climber - 34,100

 

Cosmic Creeps - 10,300

 

 

I had forgotten how exhausting Crazy Climber is.

 

.

[Vocelli]

I will try to break my Crazy Climber record (I have done much higher as a kid over 500k) but I sprained my wrist 2 weeks ago.....

and a healthy wrist is required to break that record....

and some lucky (I do mean very lucky) window openings and closings....

But I will try!

No pain ... no gain!

Other games with minimum evidence!

Crazy Climber 39,500

Copter Commander 656

 

[agb]

Cosmic commuter. 24,490.

[S.BAZ]

Cosmic Creeps: 9,500

 

for anyone who hasn't played Cosmic Creeps: your score will start over at the beginning of the next level but it keeps adding up. When I first played this I kept thinking the game was over every time I passed the 1st level!

 

bonus: 704

 

[DanielJSorenson]

Cosmic Commuter: 10640

Crazy Climber: 29100

Cosmic Creeps: 16200

Bonus (Copter Commander): 740

It's a little improvement.

Edited July 4, 2017 by DanielJSorenson

[DanielJSorenson]

Good - a little more improvement. The improvement in Cosmic Commuter came when I discovered I could shoot the sky traffic and clouds. I had read the instructions, so I don't know why I had somehow neglected/forgotten to use the fire button until this early-morning's discovery.

 

Cosmic Commuter: 27490

Crazy Climber: 72800

Cosmic Creeps: 16200 (no improvement)

Bonus (Copter Commander): 986

Edited July 4, 2017 by DanielJSorenson

[Lauren Tyler]

Copter Command: 534 1,179 - Tried it again and did better. But the sudden increase in speed caught me off-guard!

 

Cosmic Commuter: 15,132

 

Cosmic Creeps: 11,700

 

Crazy Climber: 42,800

 

 

I'm heading to Connecticut this weekend so this might be my only contribution.

[KaeruYojimbo]

Cosmic Creeps - 39,400

[AtariWarlord]

Crazy Climber 32,100

Cosmic Commuter - 170,700

gonna hafta read the manuals, cosmic creeps is confusing, and cosmic commuter is calamitous. Crazy climber is cool.

[agb]

Hi SBaz. I think you may have missed my cosmic commuter score from last night around 10:50. Thank you. AGB

[toiletunes]

[DanielJSorenson]

I only improved in one game this time: Cosmic Commuter. I will also agree with at least one other in this forum that Cosmic Creeps is veritable shovelware. Crazy Climber is my favorite to play. I hope to improve my score on that one next.

 

Cosmic Commuter: 60000
