G-type 259 Member · Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) So frustrating to lose within inches of the challenge score!! I only need to flip ONE more cube! come on! Edited December 20, 2019 by G-type Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G-type 259 Member · Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Yes! Finally. And a not too shabby score either. I like this game because it challenges your spatial perception even more than your reflexes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G-type 259 Member · Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 River Raid 2 has a lot going on. It keeps the shooter+ fuel management of the original and adds in having to alternate between air and land/sea attacks as well as take off and landing sequences. (Fortunately they are easier than Top Gun. Most of the points are scored from the land based targets of the river section. Unfortunately it's easy to run out of fuel here as well.

G-type 259 Member · Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) Just played my best game of River Raid 2 ever! I was in the zone. I think I could have gone even further but started getting impatient at the end. Edited December 29, 2019 by G-type 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G-type 259 Member · Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) This thread will be going into hibernation mode. Feel free to continue to post scores, but I'm not going to create any more challenges unless there is interest. Edited January 30, 2020 by G-type Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lambda 129 Member · Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 @G-type just wanna put a quick thank you for this thread out to you! Atari is a passion of mine and this thread is so appreciated by myself, as I’m sure many others. I’ll be taking a look at possible high scores I can achieve and post! Thanks so much for this! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G-type 259 Member · Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 (edited) Yars Revenge is a lot easier than I remembered. I could probably roll this with a little practice. Edited February 8 by G-type Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G-type 259 Member · Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 I'm starting a fresh Patch Gallery for 2021... Here's the first patch of the year: Want to earn this? You need to play ULTIMATE YARS setting (B/B Game 6) and earn a score of 200,000 or higher Ultimate Yars differs from Game 1 in a couple ways: Your Zorlon Cannon can be deflected if it hits the shield. You also have to work a little harder to charge the Cannon. (normal Yars you eat 1 cell or touch the Qotile. In Ultimate, you have to eat 5 cells or touch the Qotile a few times, then touch the left side of the screen) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
