Guys,

 

I have looked and looked and looked, it doesn't appear this game has been played yet in the HSC unless I am missing something? So I would guess there would be a +2 bonus for setting a new record? ?‍♂️

 

Also, here is the overlay just in case it is needed. ?

Then   the actual record is   9730.

Unbelievable score by Mangia-Boy for eternity.

Yeah, I'm nowhere near that.  The narrow confines of the river make it pretty tough later.  Definitely not as easy to evade stuff as it is in Mission X.

 

I do really like that Activision look and style though.  The red screen flash when you hit a bridge, the good sound effects, the high frame rate, etc.  As opposed to Coleco Inty developers, you can tell these guys actually want you to buy their games on the Inty.  ?

Absolutely, agreed. Activision did a great job on many games early on and cemented themselves in the industry very quickly. And here they are today making Call of Duty games and raking in millions. Amazing story.

Well, that didn't take long to get the patch, now, did it? Lol. 

Honestly, I never put that much time into this game before. 35k seemed like a pretty high mark for the patch, but seriously, you guys should be able to do it no problem.

Activision, like atari, hired intellivision programmers that had experience programming intellivision.  The guy that did river raid also did frog bog.  Activision was apparently not happy with this version.  You're not suppose to be able to fly over land in river raid.

Game Setting

PRESS 1 (STANDARD GAME)

?  Thought we were pressing disc?  Or maybe game 1 is the same as disc since it starts on bridge 1 anyway?

 

All of our posted scores so far are disc since that's what it was all day yesterday.

I think they are both the same exact game, meaning pressing 1 and disc. ?
