Asteroids! or How Asteroids made me very sad...

[Uncle Duke]

Hey everyone, I was playing Asteroids today and trying to beat my past high score and I beat my score! So I kept going, kept getting more ships and racking up the points. Then I finally did it I got 99999 points! I was so excited. When I was about 99996, I figured the game would end and I would get a chance to take a picture of the screen. But when I reached the big 99999, it just automatically reset itself. I know that score is probably nothing to you guys but it really ticked me off, I went from 99999 to 0 in less than a second! AGH!

Don't be so sad, just think of it as "beating" the game... and also think that in Space Invaders it only takes you 9999pts to roll the score!

Asteroids is so much fun, I don't really mind the rolling score. At least I don't have to start over.
