LidLikesIntellivision Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 June has 30 days. Since I can't edit my first post we're gonna play forever! Okay, since I plan to pick another great homebrew for July, this round will have to have an end on June, 30th. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 My second score submission: 23,160 In my Atarivox there are some higher scores but they are old scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 The ROM doesn't work for me. Just gives me a black screen with a very high pitched ringing beep. Using Stella. Is there a PAL ROM as well? Don't think it's a region problem, but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 On the tv that I usually use, the top of the game where the score is is cut off at the top. But it works on another TV I have in the basement. Same thing happened with a couple of other games on my Harmony cartridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there's a PAL version: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/272632-super-cobra-arcade/?p=3901501 I think you're going to need version 5 or above of stella. Mine is 4.7 and it doesn't work too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Upgrading to the newer Stella version did the trick for me. Thanks Lid! Score: 7,620. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arenafoot Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 7440 on one of my first tries - I guess the big scores are because of the continuations that are allowed...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) 7440 on one of my first tries - I guess the big scores are because of the continuations that are allowed...... Continues don't make much difference to the score because your score is zeroed when you take a continue. But they help more players to capture the booty which is a nice achievement. So by allowing continues the game turns to be, imo, more enjoyable without affecting scores . If I remember right, I got 2 booties and lost on stage 5 or 6 on the game with 115k points. Since the 9th stage on the 3rd time through is a special one, I want to get there without continues. Although that's probably not "mastering the game", it's another nice achievement in my view.

LidLikesIntellivision Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 I discovered a strategy to slowly achieve a high score. It's similar the Asteroids' strategy when you keep one or two rocks to slowly score points by destroying the ufo. In Super Cobra Arcade it is possible to grab the booty multiple times, loosing it and then repeat the final stage. I don't know if this is possible in the Arcade, regardless for this competition this strategy is not allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
