gar0u Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I had a very solid Astrosmash score this spring. Worked very hard to get it submitted to Twin Galaxies but it fell apart. Their website security is broken and their volunteer staff are, well... volunteers. Couldn't get any traction. In Shark! Shark! news, I don't think I'm going to do much better than this. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to roll over into negative numbers then to get the max score up around 32 million and change... I personally wouldn't want to record or watch that even if I could do it again... At least 72 people made that score back in the day, plus however many like me who took the TV instead of going to the finals... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of why I wouldn't mind having both a timed and untimed Astrosmash round in HSC, it'd be fun from a endurance (ala Space Hawk) standpoint to see if anyone wanted to bother to get to max score. ?

A lot of people in those 1982 submissions to Mattel, took advantage of the pause feature; some played at slower speeds. Using pause is not allowed at twingalaxies. The astrosmash record, 5M, was only submitted a couple of months ago, and that was done at slowest speed. Looks like they merged all the old scores together regardless of speed and only recently started a new disc speed section a couple of months ago. The disc speed record is only 813k at the moment. They also have a 15 minute timed astrosmash section. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal challenge seems to be the 90k mark, that's definitely the cliff and 100k is the pool lava waiting at the bottom of the plunge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shark! news, I don't think I'm going to do much better than this. Hey Gar0u; that’s cool! I have an interesting/funny story about Twin Galaxy that you reminded me of. A couple years ago I was going to register and load in scores for two Auto Racing Courses. I started practicing and I got faster times on both courses. I checked the times to be sure that I was faster.... and another member had just beat both of the times. The new times were comparable to mine, so I took a little break before trying again to get faster times. I checked back a few weeks later and the original leader came back and crushed the guy’s times LOL ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
