Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: the_wizard_666 on July 08, 2006, 06:40:56 PM As soon as I find the power supply for my 2600 I'm gonna have that Demon Attack score...I used to OWN at that game on my PCjr...back in the day...I remember breaking 10,000 without a problem, so it's just a matter of getting back in the swing of things...
Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: the_wizard_666 on July 08, 2006, 08:42:10 PM Damn...found the power supply...now to get the damn thing working. Anyone have any idea what might be wrong with it?
Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: atari_wizard on July 08, 2006, 10:39:13 PM Damn...found the power supply...now to get the damn thing working. Anyone have any idea what might be wrong with it? What else have you tried? What is the screen doing? Give a few more specifics of what's going on, because it can be any number of things.Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: the_wizard_666 on July 09, 2006, 12:20:51 AM Well, it's like there's no power getting to it. When I flip the power switch it doesn't do anything. Might need a new power cable, but I might have a spare laying around somewhere to try. I opened it up to check if the RF cord was loose, and it wasn't, and there's no sign of corrosion anywhere on the board, so it just leaves the AC adaptor. The screen stays snowy, there's no signal going through, so it has to be either the power or the video cable. Pretty much ruled out the video because it's still intact, although it doesn't work on ANY channel, even after flipping the Channel switch on the bottom to the second setting. Nothing. Ah well, at least it was free :P
Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: atari_wizard on July 09, 2006, 01:18:42 AM yep, sounds like your getting no power. Sorry and good luck on getting this baby working.
Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: the_wizard_666 on July 09, 2006, 11:33:18 AM Thanks. I have an old Gemini that crapped out, and an old Vader-model 2600 that also crapped out...I think I still have all the cables and crap, just gotta find them...and when I do, Demon Attack will be MINE!
Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: Tynstar on February 20, 2007, 12:08:02 AM Demon Attack score is mine again.
Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: OatBob on February 23, 2007, 02:04:25 AM I did it. Fifteen years of life have not told me to stop playing this game, so I keep on trying. Finally I beat it... sorta.
I beat E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial game 3 (no scientist or FBI agent to take you away) with 3899 points left. Not much to brag about. I dare someone to beat it though. Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: OatBob on February 23, 2007, 03:07:38 AM friggin ET is my b****. I just beat game 2 (no scientist, FBI agent only) with 1230 remaining.

How should I add your score to the list on the first page? Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: Tondog on February 23, 2007, 12:11:43 PM YOU'RE WINNER!
Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: Tynstar on February 23, 2007, 02:56:47 PM E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (game 2) - 22,380/2 completions - OatBob E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (game 3) - 5,583/1 completion - OatBob Done Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: DarthKur on March 03, 2007, 09:35:33 AM ....E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (game 3) - 5,583/1 completion - OatBob with this one... E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (game 1) - 5,583/1 completion - OatBob for reference, games 3 and 2 are easier versions of the game. The true full version is game one. P.S. I doubt there will be much competition for this game. You'd be wrong there. I'm a big fan of the much maligned E.T. game. I'll have a go at it soon. Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: Tynstar on March 03, 2007, 11:52:32 AM Go DarthKur!!!!
Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: DarthKur on March 04, 2007, 03:45:03 PM Got some 2600 scores as promised:
Congo Bongo - 31,030 Level 3 Moon Patrol - 35,740 (Game 1) E.T. - 21,102 (Game 1) Berzerk - 24,360 (Game 6) Jr. Pac-Man - 14,350 (Start @ level 1 "tricycle") That Congo Bongo can be so irritating. You can't be a nanometer off when jumping to and fro things in the water. Jr. Pac is an awesome game but holy hell is it hard. I have yet to get to the later mazes (4,5,ect) and I refuse to start at them using the selection lever......so far. I really want to try to get to them like I would have to do on an arcade machine and that's from the beginning. I know, I'm a weird-o. :P Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: Tynstar on March 04, 2007, 07:35:49 PM Added all of your scores to the first post.
Thanks Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: James on March 14, 2007, 09:42:39 AM I'm surprised no one has tried Galaxian yet.
13,710 It's a very addictive game but ~13,000 is about my limit. :-\ Edit: 14,370. I'm slowly getting better. Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: nester on March 20, 2007, 03:10:42 PM Hmm, there's a surprisingly small amount of games on this list so far. I guess I should join in. Is difficutly settings a big concern? I don't see anyone listing them.
Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: Tynstar on March 20, 2007, 03:56:31 PM I would say just default and if you do anything strange just post about it.
Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: nester on March 20, 2007, 05:53:18 PM Well here are some preliminary scores to post while I patiently wait for someone to post my new SMS scores. My theme (besides that two scores I improved from the list) was games that I (mostly) don't like all that much. Hopefully next time I'll actually play some games I enjoy
Cosmic Ark - 12,010 Jr. Pac-Man 16,350 (trycicle) Coconuts - 1,030 Firefly - 5,250 Gopher - 5,400 Planet Patrol - 3,460 Well here's some more games that I mostly enjoy playing Q Bert - 70,450 Midnight Magic - 47,195 Tac-Scan - 202,700 Venture - 6,300 Solar Fox - 38,000 Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: Tynstar on March 20, 2007, 06:15:00 PM Well here are some preliminary scores to post while I patiently wait for someone to post my new SMS scores.

Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: Kollision on January 12, 2008, 10:07:55 AM Another one then:
Planet Patrol - 7.870 (Exp) shouldn't be hard to beat, i think it's still a rather low and beatable score... http://www.kollision.biz/games/atari2600/planetPatrol/gam_atariPlanetPatrol.htm I miss Missile Command from the list - nobody sent the high score yet? Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: NESman93 on February 11, 2008, 04:51:29 PM Asteroids- Game 23/around 33,000

Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: NESman93 on March 28, 2008, 09:42:44 PM Asteroids- Game 23/around 33,000 I played the game on Atari Anthology on the Xbox. Does it still count? I am not going to add this. I would rather stick with the read deal or ROMS. Ok but i did play it on my 2600 a couple weeks ago and i really got this. I cannot show it cuz u all no that the score keeps rollin over at 10,000 Asteroids-Game 1- 539,870 (after about 2 hrs. of playing) U do not have to post it up if you choose not to. Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: Tynstar on March 29, 2008, 05:58:48 PM The reason I say that is ROMS tend to be more like the real deal the the compilation games do.
Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: NESman93 on March 29, 2008, 06:54:29 PM the 539,870 score was the real deal on my Atari 2600

Title: Re: Atari 2600 High Score thread Post by: nester on April 29, 2008, 04:09:37 PM Well a new batch of games usually means a couple days of Atari scores on the ol' board. I also remembered how to play Yars' Revenge!
Amidar - 1533 Battlezone - 33,000 Beany Bopper - 35,210 Bugs - 20 Dragonfire - 4080 Encounter at L-5 - 2,543 Entombed - 44 Kaboom (easy setting) - 3,691 Ms. Pac-Man - 25,300 Warplock - 55 Wizard of Wor - 18,100 Worm War I - 1720 Yars' Revenge - 247,448 I'll probably add some more scores later in the day.
