+Atari_Warlord Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 17,440 I'm just not very good at this game. I practiced for hours yesterday and couldn't get the patch score until this morning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerpoco Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 River Raid-43,480 Well, not too good, but my PB had been 29,670, so I suppose it's a substantial improvement personally, at least. I may push for 50k, but this is still better than I expected to do on this game already, really. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitanClassic Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) I like River Raid, but this is one of those games that I fail miserably at when using the keyboard. I think it has to do with the fact that switching from left/right inputs nearly immediately causes the plane to keep its velocity. Because of this, I have a tendency to crash into the canyon walls. The normal Atari joystick has more of of throw to it, so it isn’t so easy to accidentally switch directions and keep your speed. Looks like I am going to have to find my Flashback 2, and fire it up.

nads Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 On the Board, Like a lot of other people here, I am not good at this game at all!! And it does bother me, because I really like to do well on the Activision Titles I know this is classed as Shoot 'em up, but I really think this game comes down to the decisions you make. Mainly "Do I shoot it or go Past it?" that's what seems to bring me undone. A lot of deaths occur because I chased something to shoot when I should have just kept going. I will keep trying but If i can hit 50k Ill be happy! RIVER RAID 1BB : 39,950 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Larocque Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 River Raid - 91,290 Another improvement on my PB and so close to my 100K goal! Still no bonus as I was bricking it again pretty much the whole way through. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrabbler15 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 27,750 Starting to get some of the old form back. Flying with the brake on is unquestioningly necessary, but it wasn't this tiring thirty five years ago. Now I'm getting to the point of "Don't blast all the fuel. No Virginia, there is not more fuel right after the next bridge..." . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
