PII | 1,894 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Well, here's a start. Fun Game, very different from the Colecovision Port.. This is SO much fun. It almost feels like a whole new game! Rolled a million tonight and then some 1,796,165 Think I'll be done for a while...

PII | 1,894 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) @captmorgandrinker I used the keyboard arrow keys, they actually work really well. @G-type Thanks for checking on that. Looks like I'm officially overdue to get myself a recording setup of some sort. Been planning on it for some time now. Guess now's the time!

PII | 1,894 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I played a new run of Q*bert's Qubes using the original Atari 2600 Cartridge on an Atari 7800 Console and Recorded the whole works, rolling the score 3 times for a total of: 3,291,480 Points. The Video is a bit longish at over 7 hours. That might be a hair much for some folks to view in its entirety, but anyone wishing to Git Gud may find some A-ha! moments at any point there-in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Pac | 7,581 Graphics Team · Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Planet Patrol - 10,470 Planet Patrol is one of my new favorite space-shooters, and I spent the last couple of weeks trying to break 10k. I wish I could've pulled it off through progression alone, but I had to resort to point-pressing earlier waves before the gameplay got too fast for me. -CasualCart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually just finished compressing it for the sixth time and the compressor was only able to get it down to 5.39GB, the same size it could give me for the fifth go, which means its still just the tiniest bit too large to upload, so I guess I've got to figure out how to split it in half now and upload it in two pieces...

I hadn’t done any Activision games yet because a part of the concept was to create patch challenges for games that didn’t already have one. But maybe we could do like an even higher level challenge or we could do it for a kaboom clone (like Beatem and Eatem ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
