Jasonhrb Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 More improvement. Have been trying to crack 100k but not quite there yet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Well, I tried both my text label and picture night carts and can say this- I suck at both. I feel like I’m missing some key strategy bc I cannot for the life of me break my measly 26k. Maybe once I post this I’ll have a breakthrough game... Or I’ll go back to the torture that is the next round, hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogerpoco Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Atlantis-34,400 Prolly gonna be it for me on this one, and it's not so much "bad arm" as I "really suck at this game". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerpoco Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 47,300 Now I'm done, almost for sure. Didn't dislike the game as much as I anticipated, but I still don't want to grind on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-type Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 A modest improvement. I really was hoping I could break 50k as a personal goal, but I'm running out of time, and I need to try and break 100k in Tapper this weekend too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonhrb Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) An improvement at Atlantis. I think this is as good as it will get from me. As an aside, I have got more into this one as the week has gone on. Although I know that this is a favourite of many, I never played Atlantis as a kid, so there is no nostalgia attached to this one for me. And at first, I struggled to get what all the enthusiasm for this one was about. But as I played it more, I got into it as the kind of simple, fast paced game that the 2600 did so well. I can certainly see why it's a favourite of people who played it when it first came out Edited March 21, 2021 by Jasonhrb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concept of defending a city from an overhead attack seems to be copied from Missile Command. With the fixed shooters, the game play itself felt more like a variation of Air Sea Battle with improved graphics and sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 New pb! Can’t believe I broke 30k. I don’t dislike the game, but I’d sure like it a lot more if I got a good rhythm going. Pretty pleased with myself nevertheless. 34,700 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremiahK Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Score to come, here's my celestial body entry (surprised nobody used this yet!)

JeremiahK Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 45,100 This is my first time playing Atlantis. Fun, tough game! I rely on my center cannon, after it's gone, I try my best, but it ends up being "shoot randomly and hope something happens". A strategy seems to be to intentionally allow slow ships to get pretty low, holding up the faster ships, since they don't seem to pass each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
