HSC19 R7: BANDITS

[Gazzabass]

Hi again, 23380

[MichaG]

I just got my SNACK this week so I could use my wireless SNES-controller and the Joy2Bplus version of Bandits. It's nice to have a second button for auto-fire and a third for activating the shield.

 

I finally reached 20,170 points.

9895.  Seems to be about all I can muster, Mister. 

 

At least for this round.

 

Pretty cool game.  Has a very Apple //ish feel to it.  I wonder if it used the internal speaker on the 800.  Anyone?  I'm using an XE so I can't tell the difference.

Use the shield!! Yes cool game, watch the title screen animation for apple to atari logo! I'm on XE too but bet it does sound great on the 800 (mine's in the cupboard).

Ah, didn't know there was a shield, perhaps I'll play again at some point, haven't had much time recently

[carlsson]

Yeah. If I was able to triple my score after using the shields, a better skilled gamer probably can fivefold or tenfold their score with that knowledge.

Bandits: 2,380

@therealbountybob Are you taking late scores? I've been out for a few rounds due to the total collapse of the laptop I was using to load .atr images for SIO2PC. But I'm back up and running now! Just wanted to get on the board if I can.
