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. Oh wow. Well that is pretty amazing. I wouldn’t be able to put that much time in it either. Very impressive dude! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just posting them to show HE got them and that the records needed to be updated. Sorry for the confusion..... Also are we getting +2 for tieing records, or +1 for the tie and +2 for the highest new score??? I think the latter makes more sense. Edited November 6, 2020 by JacobZu7zu7 Added a little more text.

Its a +2 bonus points for a tie, and a 3rd point to break the high Sharp Shot records here Edited November 5, 2020 by JacobZu7zu7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Off to Astrosmash to get any score now..... oh yeah,its hard to see. The space score is 60. Edited November 6, 2020 by wolfy62 Adding info. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I much prefer smashing astros to skiing. I also like it more than Astroblast (although I love playing with the vcs paddle). The score in this one either climbs faster, or I'm just that much better. 3,630 in the atari version, and... 47,490 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster8 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) My 1st Astro Score: Hoping I can improve on this as BITD I used to get over 1 million.... ? 204,485 Edited November 7, 2020 by Rickster8 Formatting 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntyFanMatt Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) First Astro entry: 553,160 The difficulty spike at 500k is insane!! It’s just raining spinners at that point. Biff, I have no idea how you got to 1 million and then eventually 2 million points! That is unbelievable! You must have magic reflexes. ? This is a great, classic game though. Simple concept done well. Edited November 7, 2020 by IntyFanMatt 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it gets pretty bad there, although it's the smart bombs that seem to give me the most fits. Spinners are good points... nom, nom, nom. ? For me, the thing that really helped was adjusting my grip on the controller to where I could both fire and hit hyperspace. No longer have the time to move to it, and if you just hover on hyperspace, you're missing out on those critical extra shots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to move my hands around but couldn’t find an alternative I liked, so I just stuck with my standard grip. Made it harder to press hyperspace, but ehhh, it is what it is. Enjoyed it.

Rickster8 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) My Astro Update: Some improvement, but still not overjoyed with this score.... So it seems every 50k the game gets quicker. I think it would have been cool if they also boosted the 'X' each 50k, but it just stays at '6X', kinda dumb to me.... ? 341,475 Edited November 7, 2020 by Rickster8 Formatting 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I can be bothered to play as many games as it would take to get the 105 though. It's a remarkably frustrating 60 seconds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
