Intellivision HSC - Season 13 - Game 17 - Astrosmash / Sharp Shot (Shooters HELL)


Recommended Posts

Don't think I can improve much on my scores:

 

1. Astrosmash: 165,540

2. Football: 84

3. Maze: 38

4. Space: 72

5. Submarine: 38

Sharp Shooter was honestly a bit of a surprise.  I found it quit enjoyable to try and improve my score in each mini game.  I never played this one as a kid.

1 button games that are played in 1 minute? My kind of games. Wait, "specially designed for children over 4"?...

 

The best football game I have played: 77

Space shooting where you want the shots to be just a frame or two faster: 69

Submarine shooting where you're thankful it allows you fire 3 torpedos at a time: 32

Maze shooting where you want turbo: 22

 

And they say mini games are a new fad. This one looks like it would be a lot of fun head to head on original hardware. Of course, another example of those damn side buttons giving you pain.

The sharp shot games were meant to be played without controllers.  The single action was meant to be voice activated.

Was that intended as an accessibility thing? 

 

There was a game show on one of the networks in Houston that played a Space one where the kids would yell 'fire' instead or pushing buttons, but it was only 1 player. Or perhaps they were only showing 1/2 the screen on camera.

My Astrosmash Update: I cannot believe how much harder this game is with 'jzintv' emulation. The difficulty ramp up at 300k is INSANE!!!!! I had over 60 guys left and they got chopped down to nothing in no time.... I cannot wait to see how much better I can do on this game when my modded 2609 arrives. ?

 

With my Regular InTV Flashback over the Summer I scored 550k. The ramp up in difficulty happens much faster with the Ultimate Flashback, the difference is unreal.... ?

 

349,975

I didn't know the 'jzintv' emulation made Astrosmash harder!

 

I have 330K written in my original Astrosmash rule book with "87+" lives written next to it.  I can't break 200K now.  Of course I'm like 35 years older, but now I can blame it on the emulator, not my failing reflexes.

 

Might need to try Astrosmash one more time before the deadline on my Intellivision II.

Yeah it's crazy. There's like a 200k difference. Was telling Matt over the Summer I scored 550k using the Regular Flashback. Now with the jzintv I cannot break 350k. My brother has the same issue. I bought him the jzintv for his birthday, his high score is 347k on it. It's insane. Was telling mr_me the jzintv also makes better 'smarter' moves when you play against it in Chess. It will move it's rooks into attack position much earlier than the old Flashback does.... 

 

I have a Classic 2609 being modded for current TVs as we speak. Cannot wait to get it back in all fixed up and then I will post an Astrosmash score here using that. BITD I used to get over a million on Astro. I'm sure that won't happen, but you can bet it'll be better than 350k....
