And only small improvements in Narzod... This is a hard game... I hate the enemies, that are firing from left and right, and I didn't find out a tactic to avoid / kill them...  |

Armor Attack - 210200  That was the most I've ever played this game on single player, it's so much more enjoyable with 2 players  Star Hawk - 79800  |

 Highscore list was updated. 1. Chainsaw (98,4%) 2. wazzal (92,9%) 3. VectorX (88,4%) ___ Chainsaw, wazzal: Yes, Armor Attack can be very boring. Perhaps the marathon score limit should be lower, but I don't want to change the tournament rules too often. And only small improvements in Narzod... This is a hard game... I hate the enemies, that are firing from left and right, and I didn't find out a tactic to avoid / kill them... Yes, these guys are pretty nasty. And they appear more and more often.  |

Highscore list was updated. 1. Chainsaw (98,1%) 2. coleco1981 (93,0%) 3. wazzal (92,9%) coleco1981 catapulted himself with three excellents scores to rank 2; wazzal hot on his tail. ____ Played some serious bedlam tonight and toward the end of this game - the vectrex was slowing up!
bedlam - 181075 I take the slowing down was the game, not the Vectrex (this can happen if a game tries to draw and handle too many objects, for example). So your Bedlam score is valid. Congrats, coleco1981 to your excellent scores!

There are also already slow downs in Bedlam in Level 4 and 5 sometimes, and I think it's also depending on if you have 8 or more extra lives. Also the ZAP function doesn't work properly then. Too bad, I hope anytime a coder will fix this and realease a bugfree version... But 181075 is a very great score, which level did you reach? Two or three times in the past I managed to reach Level 7, but Level 6 is already very hard to play... I think you also had luck with the "undestructable enemies" and you made a lot of points with them? It will be very hard to beat this score...

The Vectrex is just getting tired from the playing you're doing. |

I think you also had luck with the "undestructable enemies" and you made a lot of points with them? It will be very hard to beat this score... I want to say it was either 6 or 7 - it became to the point where it was unplayable especially if you have the enemies that circle you and attack from the back. The rotation was so slow that it is essentially impossible to turn and kill them. Yes, I did also notice that the zap didn't work right, sometimes it seemed to kill some of enemies and sometimes none! My pace was super high in level 2,3,4 - by slamming on the lanes that have the unstoppable ships definitely did it, especially those levels that can get 2 lanes going. If you have it zeroed in on the lane long enough and you 'queue' them up - you can ring up extra lifes like nothing. Its a heart pumper! - I woke my wife up out of bed because I was slamming the button pretty quick. I think she thought I was having a seizure! So I'm still trying to figure out fortress of narzod... the birds zero in on you no matter what! frustrating right? |

Some of the scores here are truly amazing. I tried Bedlam and I couldnt even make 10 000 points. :/ I also encountered the Narzod bug when dieing together with the wizard. So this picture is from the menu screen from a game where I could actually lose all ships. some scores: Clean Sweep: 36590 Birds of Prey: 6360 Fortress of Narzod: 7650    |

Crazy score on starhawk - I chickened out because I wasn't sure if the score was going to roll over. Total game time was getting closer to 40 mins or so and wanted to adhere to the time limit to restrict 'marathoning'. I found that when you build up over 99 secs it will go to a "0:01" "0:02" etc countdown which doesn't make sense! The game at least doesn't get buggy in later levels and seems to plateau in difficulty but being accurate is a requirement. Starhawk - 994300  |
