Enhancements, rewinds, updated and hacked versions of this game are not allowed.
 
Difficulty Level
ULTIMATE YARS: GAME 6. Ultimate Yars features a bouncing Zorlon Cannon, plus some wild twists that distinguish this version of Yars' Revenge from all the others. What should you expect? First, you must bounce the Yar against the left side of the screen to make the Zorlon Cannon appear. Also, to make the cannon appear, you need five TRONS. TRONS are units of energy which you can collect at the following rate:
Eat a cell from the shield: 1 TRON Touch the Qotile: 2 TRONS Catch a Zorlon Cannon shot after it bounces off the shield: 4 TRONS If a Yar bounces on the left side with less than five TRONS, it will not get a shot, but it won't lose the TRONS it has either. (Each time a Yar is destroyed, it loses its TRONS). Each Yar has a capacity of 255 TRONS. If a Yar tries to take on more than that, it will short out and the Yar will lose all its TRONS. The count of TRONS is not displayed on the screen. Yar scouts understand the count instinctively.
 
Fair Play
Your integrity is everything. Players should play fairly, be honest, and have fun! Falsified scores will result in your immediate removal from the site. It goes without saying that we will not allow cheats, hacks, cartridge frying, enhancements, rewinds, deceitful photo manipulation, subterfuge, or any other dishonest advantage. Everybody hates a cheater.

Welcome to our 151st Squad Challenge! This month we're playing ULTIMATE YARS! - which is what we call Yars' Revenge for the Atari 2600, being played on Game 6, the most challenging difficulty settings. Special thanks to @RickR for nominating this game! PDF Instructions are attached below.
A note about ROMs in High Score Squad: as the Atari landscape is quickly changing, we won't always be able to attach a ROM file for High Score Squad Challenges in the future. I will always do my best to include the best PDF Instructions available, and a ROM when possible. If you ever have trouble locating a ROM and need one, you can always PM one of us and we can help point you in the right direction. Good luck!

... well and all you other Star Trek Fans.  I figured we needed a dedicated place to post some really cool Star Trek videos & stuff.  I'll start it off with...
 

Not waiting for Christmas.  Here are two new "toys" I just got...
An HP Pavillion laptop.

And an HP Chromebook Plus

Sadly, I was not able to play with my Vectrex today.  😞

That is awesome deal for a digital projector!  I paid even less with a coupon:  $47!  As for new toys, here are the two I got today...

Agree.  It s a nicely done port.  Of course, it was created by GCC for Atari!  Those guys did a superb job with any ports they made. 

That's cool!  Gotta love your display!  ET, Great Mazinger, an Atari Lynx, a 2600 Jr, the Iron Giant... 

I think you MAY like Space Rocks a bit, @sramirez2008! 🙂

Okay everyone, prepare to be totally blown away on this one.  First a little back story, the singer Amy Lee from "Evanescence" has a powerful and haunting voice.  The Japanese "Wagakki Band" mixes traditional Japanese instruments with contemporary western instruments for a heavy to metal sound.  Combine those, with the full orchestra they have behind them in this video and you might just reach another level of bliss when you hear this.
CRANK IT UP!

Lol! I came in 1st place at the 2015 Classic Game Fest (Austin) Space Rocks Tournament. I won the CIB, Tournament Edition Cart, poster and the AA sign (below). 

Oh wow!  That is an amazing find.  I did see a video about it earlier today...

I really enjoyed this show!  I actually watched all of it on my way to/from PRGE!  I downloaded the episodes to my tablet and enjoyed them on the plane.  I have always like the character of Ashoka, so it was great seeing her in her own show.  She was first introduced on The Mandalorian.  Rosario Dawson does a great job playing the character.  She's also a Star Trek fan and has been wanting to appear in any Star Trek but it seems TPDB have not given her a chance!  What a mistake!

Oh, that's great news!  I'll have to test to see if I can now purchase games!

Here is the art in question, in case the ebay listing goes away.  It's the original artwork used in an Electronic Games magazine.  Very cool indeed.
