gezkc Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I think you've won this, Mr Me - that 110,000 score was awesome! I seem to be getting worse the more I play! ? Tiny improvement on my previous score: 102,860 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I stopped making dumb mistakes like chasing after a dollar sign swarmed by cops and locking myself next to one, I was finally able to top my score. Now, if I can just stop getting caught in a gate, thinking I'm fast enough to slide through... 37,360 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gezkc Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 One interesting (or not) thing I managed to do on that last game was to lock in 3 cops together for 1000 pts. I think I've only managed that a couple of times in over 3 decades of playing this, so I'm happy with that! ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic score - that beats my best ever! Keep going for the record. Another 10,000 is a big ask at this level, but you never know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Haven't played this game since I was a kid and I'm still far from my personal best. Had I cleared that last board, even with one man left, 130k would have been very possible. Still there are scores on twin galaxies over 200k? Having switched to real hardware the control doesn't seem bad at all. Edited February 22, 2020 by mr_me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found mame to be a little more responsive than jzintv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gezkc Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I've been using a Raspberry Pi modified Intellivision Flashback which I think uses jzintv. I've never liked the Flashback controllers, particularly the side buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 6,160 i need to find a better emulator, i'm using Bliss that uses Java i'm stuck using a keyboard. I can't find a old version of Bliss that installs on a pc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 How’s the control with a keyboard? I should try that out. I find my hand cramping with the intv controller, but that might just be me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Um, so here's my score but it looks like I'm on a different skill level. I thought we were playing game 2. When I hit "2" I end up with a green dot. Did I get it wrong? Nevermind I see. Press disc. don't know what I was thinking. 15,280 I've never gotten the hang of this game. Managed to get up to a pretty good score on the 2600 but still never trapped any cops. Edited February 23, 2020 by S.BAZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to put the cursor on the very bottom right of the pic, just outside of it, then hit "backspace" and it should disappear. You may not be able to see the cursor but it's there...just gotta play around with it but you can remove pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
