Please assume you have to follow the game difficulty and mode for the playing week/s. There cannot be any game enhancements or favorite settings to play in the 2600 HSC, unless you are given authorization to do so by your humble yet strict MODERATOR! Vocelli Missile Command (Game 4 B/B) Released By: Atari Left Difficulty: B Right Difficulty: B Game Mode: Game 4 B/B Post your scores right here in this thread, and we will add them to the list. Remember to play the game with the recommended game mode and difficulty settings as shown above so that your scores will be consistent with everyone else. The deadline for posting scores is Midnight (EST) the evening of Jan 16, 2022 Bonus: By Kermit Missile Command, Game #1, Difficulty B, max score after 16 boards. Players not making it past the 16th board post the score they earned when their game ended. Players completing the 16th board (the second board with the bright yellow background, green silo, and red cities) need to set the joystick down and allow the game to end. They should report the score shown after the game is over. If points are scored after setting the joystick down on the 17th board (unlikely, but maybe possible), these points count. Highest score = 5 bonus points 75,000+ = 4 bonus points 50,000-74,995 = 3 bonus points 25,000-49,995 = 2 bonus points 5-24,995 = 1 bonus point Missile Command (Game 4 B/B) Scores 645940 - Kermit (+50) 448880 - OyamaFamily (+49) 327035 - MarkGriff (+48) 96170 - JasonAtari (+47) 79170 - JasonHRB (+46) 77875 - SkippyBCoyote (+45) 69280 - Vocelli (+44) 69075 - Ed (+43) 68135 - GBAG (+42) 66260 - DrMooCowz (+41) 65485 - AtariSphinx (+40) 64905 - Absalon (+39) 58350 - Deteacher (+38) 55900 - Nads (+37) 55300 - Atarian7 (+36) 54100 - Atari_Warlord (+35) 53420 - DomBradley (+34) 49510 - Keilbaca (+33) 48140 - RetroBreakout (+32) 46715 - McCallister (+31) 45845 - LaurenTyler (+30) 38560 - Mchetzel (+29) 36500 - LordInnit (+28) 35630 - RGC (+27) 35540 - Maloff (+26) 35300 - CrazyClimber (+25) 33740 - Evandro (+24) 32510 - TheActivisionary (+23) 29320 - RaymanC (+22) 26730 - BetwixtThieves (+21) 26475 - AGB (+20) 23585 - Roadrunner (+19) 23165 - JGKspsx (+18) 22995 - FakeCortex (+17) 6750 - MoisesTuseto (+16) Missile Command ~ Game 1 ~ BONUS Scores (16 Board Challenge) Highest score = 5 bonus points 75,000+ = 4 bonus points 50,000-74,995 = 3 bonus points 25,000-49,995 = 2 bonus points 5-24,995 = 1 bonus point 90420 - Kermit (+5) 88880 - JasonHRB (+4) 86230 - OyamaFamily (+4) 85100 - JasonAtari (+4) 83290 - Deteacher (+4) 78580 - Vocelli (+4) 77075 - SkippyBCoyote (+4) 75555 - MarkGriff (+4) 74575 - DrMooCowz (+3) 73950 - Ed (+3) 66280 - Mchetzel (+3) 66165 - Atari_Warlord (+3) 64245 - AtariSphinx (+3) 57965 - Absalon (+3) 56650 - Evandro (+3) 53575 - TheActivisionary (+3) 49785 - RetroBreakout (+2) 49005 - LaurenTyler (+2) 43820 - Maloff (+2) 35655 - RGC (+2) 34945 - DomBradley (+2) 28600 - AGB (+2) 27480 - LordInnit (+2) 22610 - FakeCortex (+1) 19450 - JGKspsx (+1) 15790 - MoisesTuseto (+1) Overall standings Remember the Top 32 will Qualify for the Bracket Challenge at the end of the season! 440 Kermit 421 JasonHRB 418 SkippyBCoyote 415 AtariSphinx 399 Nads 384 OyamaFamily 377 JGKspsx 375 Evandro 359 Absalon 334 Vocelli 332 MarkGriff 322 Keilbaca 321 Dr Moocowz 319 Atari_Warlord 319 DomBradley 317 JasonAtari 303 Maloff 283 Deteacher 282 GBAG 274 CrazyClimber 261 LaurenTyler 258 Atarian7 257 AGB 246 Roadrunner 239 McCallister 237 TheActivisionary 231 FakeCortex 221 CTelkin 199 MoisesTuseto 175 Mchetzel 171 RetroBreakout 141 Lord Innit 140 Ed 128 RGC 126 RaymanC 118 Diamonds 112 Krytol 103 ClassicGamer 97 GType 89 Atariwarlord 86 JacobZu7Zu7 48 Nester 40 Jblenkle 3 Capitain Classic Season 12 will have: ~ Silver Medal winner pick from IsaiahAustin ~ Bronze Medal winner pick from DrMooCowz ~ Paper Medal winner pick from McCallister ~ Winter Olympic Games ~ Suggestions and Requests ~ HomeBrew Weeks ~ Chosen Company Games ~ Paddle Weeks ~ Beat the leader weeks The Season should end at the end of April.

kermit73 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Game #4: 238650 Game #1 (First 16 boards): 90420 The first video is my bonus game on Game #1. The second video is a game from a few months ago where I scored more than 400k on game #4. With any luck, I'll improve upon that score this week. According to the manual, the game reaches is hardest difficulty on the 13th board, so once making it to that point, it's a matter of staying consistent enough to not lose your last city on boards where you cannot earn enough points for a bonus city. The only tip I have for this game other than what is in the manual is if your last city is destroyed, give cruise missiles priority over the ballistic missiles. The cruise missiles are worth 5x as many points, giving you the best chance of hitting the next 10k point threshold for a bonus city. This strategy is also useful for the bonus game this week, where you have a limited number of boards to score the maximum number of points.

No matter how hard I try I'm never good enough to be the best at anything, but I can usually at least make the top 5 and I'm alright with that. The only game I'm actually the best at and hold the HSC record high score for is homebrew game Lead, though that was under my old forum name "Jin" so technically I don't hold that record anymore since I changed my name Edited January 10, 2022 by Skippy B.
