oyamafamily Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Attention, 2600 HSClubers. Unless otherwise noted by Vocelli, and before asking questions about this HSC Rules, DON'T USE TRAK-BALL SERIES CARTRIDGES (which are available at AtariAge Store). USE ORIGINAL RELEASES, PLEASE!! The Atari 2600 Trak-Ball games include Centipede, Colony 7, Plaque Attack and Millipede. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creating corridors as explained in the manual was really helpful, as knowing when you get extra lives (at 10K). So don't do anything dangerous when you are about to get a new life. If you set Difficulty Switches to A/Expert, don't worry - they have no effect on Centipede. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novastar Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) New score: 62947 Not quite as good as the last one but now with twice as much "not cheating". FYI: I must have hit F1 on stella, F2 is reset. Total accident. Funny thing was, I didn't identify it as a teddy bear. I thought I had unlocked an award ALA Enduro. I thought it was a centepede.

Nah, Man, you posted the pic of the score before, with the Teddy Bear-Obviously you got confused, I don't think "cheat" is in the equation. My own personal brain farts can sometimes be smelled miles away! Nice Score! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariWarlord Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) 61.601. Just to make sure, the default game IS the game you get if you press the button or hit "reset" from the home screen right? It doesn't do anything crappy like default to teddy bear mode does it?

That is correct. You will not get the teddy bear unless you first hit the game select switch, and even then, you will see it right away if you do. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Atari_Warlord Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 24,069 I was always better at the 7800 version which I played way more than this one. I pulled out my old high score book and saw the number was in the 19,000 range. It took me about 20 tries, but finally managed to beat it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Atari_Warlord Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 It's a custom from Extreme Home Arcade. Every suggestion I gave them, they were able to incorporate. Here are all the design elements. Now back to high scores. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrabbler15 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 67,383 My 58 year old fingers are not as nimble as my 20 year old fingers were. But the game is still cozily familiar, like an old friend... . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no woodworker, so this is good news for me (unless they just do the exteriors and it's up to me to build the cabinet). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
