Rip Off is a really hard game. The controls feels sluggish due to the slow turning speed and the rate of fire is not enough to deal with the faster enemies. If Rip Off was hard, then Star Castle is harder. The cannon always gets me. I ended up farming points by slowly slowly shooting shields and the flies (or whatever they are). That took time to get over the threshold score. I find Vectrexagon nearly impossible to get over the threshold score in. It's not my kind of game I guess. Practice makes perfect it is said. But I haven't practiced...
Irrelevant info... I managed to accidentally break my Skynät prototype controller. It was a bit off in calibration. I figured it was due to the quick and dirty resistor I had made by bunching three of the wrong value to approximate the value I wanted but didn't have, at the time it was wired up way back then. Well... It both were and weren't culprit in this. But I managed to make it worse by botching some connections on the hacky prototype PCB that's in that controller. Tomorrow I will rip out everything from the shell and rewire everything from scratch. Why can't things just work when I need them to? Then again, I knew about that problem 6 months ago but bide my time instead of fixing it and here we are in the midst of Vector War in full swing and my procrastinating ways have finally caught up with me.

So I consider FredriK's score to be valid.
), saying that it's ok for a kid to be under adult supervision or something that can vouch for no code (although he did have all the other scores with the code attached). After all, these are cool people playing one of THE coolest, unique consoles ever made!
I had to swap over to my VicStik with it's soft Sanwa buttons!
