Atari PAC-MAN Fan Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 This is one of those games that I'm not very good at, yet I keep coming back for more. This applies to most Imagic games. If I could go back in time, I would travel back to 1982 and see what it was like to work for Imagic. I just imagine drunk programmers and empty pizza boxes all over the place.

Leto27 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 AAAAh Cosmic Ark, a.k.a "The controller destructor" countless of controllers were destroyed cause the action gets fast and wild ( Remember using resin and tin to repair my controllers ) Game 1 B/B 11170 points. Game 5 B/B 774 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariWarlord Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Game 1: 6,300. Did Imagic's hatred of their young consumer base exist before they started developing video games or was it a product of dealing with our demands? Luckily (?) I have this game so I guess it's time to see how many joysticks I can wreck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) After another hour of trying I think I've already hit my reflexes' breaking point in Game 1 with my last score submission so there probably won't be any more main game scores from me for rest of the week, but I did manage to improve a little in the Bonus Game 5.

Scrabbler15 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) 4760 One of those 'getting started' scores you're always reading about in the papers. "Hey Ethel, did you see this Atari score in the Living section?" "Yes, Fred, it's a nice human interest story, especially since that guy doesn't seem to be able to play that game at all." .
