I think it gets harder again at 1 million, but maybe plateaus at that point? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiffMan Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 91 - Football I see 98 is definitely possible since I've had 49 with more than half the clock to go, but many, many, many attempts would be necessary for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster8 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) Yeah it appears we need to re-tool the Sharp Shot records... The post that is pinned with all the records is apparently WAY out of date.... ? Football Toss is same at 105, but the other 3 are much higher... Maze Shoot is 48 Space Gunner is 83 Submarine is 44 @JacobZu7zu7 This is why I asked whether a bonus point should be awarded for even tying any of these records because they are ALL extreme to get to.... ? NOTE: These are not my scores. They are Ignorama's scores from Season 9 Game 6. Edited November 5, 2020 by Rickster8 Formatting 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffMan Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I definitely vote that tying records should count for something. No particular reason... 83 - Space 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiffMan Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Got my groove back. ? I think it came down to rembering the game is all about hyperspace once it gets really fast, which for me is still above 750k. So I went full hyperspace and autofire, which was better but still having issues. I then shifted my grip so I have my thumb on hyperspace but my ring finger cradling the opposite side fire button and that did the trick. Only barely gaining lives above 1 mil and my hands are trembling while writing this, but I did get +9 lives from 1mil to 1.1mil. Not sure how long I'll stick with it, but I'll try to get 2 mil at least for Matt. 1,104,390 - Disc speed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) Astroblast is over in the 2600 Paper Medal Tournament right now. 'Bout to sit down to play both. Astroblash? Astrosmast? Whatever, the Atari version doesn't have hyperspace. Edited November 3, 2020 by fakecortex 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to be getting higher scores when doing the latter. Edit - Looks like in prior seasons, folks were just doing single player (zero for the other score) and high scores are perfectly possible. Maze high score appears to be 48 by Ignorama in season 9, by the way In fact it seems that I hold three of the four records Maze 48, Battleship 44 and Space 83. And as far as I remember the game was a RNG festival. So my advice: If a run starts bad, just reset. Not worth the time. But I think (!) maze was a bit different. Unfortunately I dont have time at the moment, but I think I remember that you could "manipulare" the RNG by shooting very early. This spawned more bugs... or whatever you are killing in this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome scores and thanks for the advice! That's what I've seen as well. Can't think of another game where you can legitimately give up after 10 seconds of play. Lol.

I wanted to roll it again just for old time sake (it doesn't get faster past 1 mil), but real life/family restrictions don't allow me to leave the PC on for 2-3 days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
