 Highscore list was updated. 1. coleco1981 (96,8%) 2. Chainsaw (90,3%) 3. wazzal (90,3%) ___ During the past days it got a bit quiet but now: Wow! Congratulations, Chainsaw and coleco1981 to your excellent scores in Spike, V-Frogger, and especially Star Hawk!  Man, I have no idea how anyone does it in Starhawk. I can't get the hang of that game for crap. I'm not good at Star Hawk but at first it was much worse. A look in the Star Hawk manual and the scoring table helped quite a bit. In short: Shoot the right targets and you will get a decent score. |

Yes, with practice, precision and endurance, it's possible to make very high scores in Star Hawk. I also did this when I made over 300000 points, but I was too tired to concentrate enough. Didn't you eyes "bleed" after watching such a long time at the Star Hawk screen?  Anyway, great score !!! And here my new Bedlam score, after a lot of games, I also had great luck with the undestructable enemies, there were a lot of them in some levels, and I shoot at them like an insane... Bedlam: 232695  And a picture of the "end" screen with the score and that I reached Level 7, after the crazy fast rotating Level 6...  |

^You guys have some crazy high scores! It's nice to see Concerning StarHawk, I would additionally add that a good condition joystick is a necessity. The stick in my Vectrex controller is quite loose (from previous owners) so it's difficult to have consistently accurate shots. Also, concerning Bedlam, I noticed the slowdown as well. I played a few times to figure it out, and it seems if you have max lives displayed on the bottom, the game play is slowed. When losing a life or two, the gameplay speed goes back to normal. Has anyone else noticed this as a cause? Or is it just my Vec? Couple of updates to my scores: Bedlam - 85500  Rip Off - 6750 {hard game!}  Spike - 38500  Tour De France - 1:08  V-Frogger - 27960  |

And then two on the final day, which is going to be Saturday by midnight EST, and not Sunday? Thanks! No, it's the game, as it happens to everyone. Glad to hear this! (Kinda wish the source codes were around for a lot of these games so issues could be worked out) |

Mhhh do I see correctly, that only 4 hours and some minutes left? (End: 6th Dezember 23:59 ??) I'm asking because it's so silent here at the moment. (Or are you all busy playing and wait with posting the scores a short time before the end?) I'm trying to get some new scores now at the moment in some games, but for me it's soon time to go sleeping. I will post my last scores later, before I go to bed...

You see correctly, Chainsaw, 3 hours to go. I think that it will remain silent. Posting last decisive scores right before the end would be anything but fair. |

I haven't had much time to play myself with university final exams due today, but I just got through some StarHawk. I may or may not play another game, I definitely need a break after that session haha Looking forward to your scores, Chainsaw! (and coleco1981 I assume as well)  EDIT: Good job in Tour De France, Chainsaw! I'm guessing you didn't crash at all? StarHawk - 999300  |

Anyway, great score !!!
