New PB: 267,650.
-
New PB: 178,650. I was SO THRILLED to reach the stage when all of the enemies are blue. Thrilled.
-
The gray enemies took some adjusting. The blue enemies will even zig-zag. They're so annoying lol.
-
I've been mostly radio silent due to work & such, but I'm hoping to adjust that very soon. To that end, here's the teaser for Episode 99 of Retro With Marco streaming tomorrow night at 9pm on Twitch! Featuring new retrogaming records, Turrican II for the Amiga, plus a Winter Yolympics update!

It is 1000 points for the 2600 version as well.

UPDATE: According to the manual, you can defeat a pterodactyl "if you hit it directly on its beak". I have failed at this task. Fleeing is better for me.

I was never that good at Joust, but I had played the arcade version on Antstream Arcade a few months ago. Another gamer, Tracey Gleave, received tips from Lonnie McDonald. Lonnie used to have the MAME record on Twin Galaxies....before Tracey broke his record! Anyway, one thing I do is let the enemies come to me at the bottom of the screen. Then I will time my flapping of the ostrich to their descent so I will be above them as they start to ascend. The floating eggs adds a different dimension in this version. It makes for a somewhat challening Egg Stage. Thankfully, there are only six eggs to collect. It doesn't look like you can stab the pterodactyls, which is fine because they're scary creatures and I tend to run away from them lol.

New PB: 143,850. I'm slowly figuring out the tendencies of the various enemies. The Blue ones are quite clever and they will double-back quickly and even zig-zag at times.

I tend to wait around the bottom of the screen (just to the right of where your character is sitting in your screenshot) because the enemies will usually appear in the middle of the screen.

Here's the teaser for Episode 98 streaming Wed night at 9pm ET! New retrogaming records, a look at A Pig Quest for the C64, + an update on BigPEmu, the Atari Jaguar emulator!

New PB: 94,200. One big difference with this version is that the enemies will change direction suddenly.
-
New PB: 91,200. Wow, do I love the pterodactyls.
-
Nice screen overlay!

Adding on to @greenween, this is a game I would never would have imagine playing on the 2600. This is quite a feat! Here's my submission (which I played last night): 71,650. I played on OpenEmu which uses Stella. The controls and flapping take some adjusting, especially versus the arcade original.
-
Thank you all for the kind words. I didn't think my previous submission would hold up. My non-gaming schedule changed earlier this month so I've had to reallocate time to my show as well as gaming. The tips provided in the thread were very useful, and a reminder that the robots aren't very smart. That last bit helped me score a few more points after dying lol.
-
New PB: 8480. This is probably it, unless I get lucky and get more of those robots to shoot each other lol.
-
I've been adjusting my new RTO schedule, hence the limited communication lately. The flip side is that I have large block of time where I can edit & do show prep. So here's the teaser for Episode 97 streaming Wednesday night at 9pm ET! The show will feature new retrogaming records, a look at new homebrews for Amstrad CPC, Atari 8-Bit, & C64, plus a few tournament updates!

I will make another run very soon. I was about to do so yesterday thinking the challenge was coming to close until I read this one runs until January 31. I'm also taking part in the EverythingC64 High Score Challenge which ends on January 26, and the Dig Dug Weekend Tournament (1-Life Challenge) for Antstream Arcade.

I really enjoy the way you present your show @Marco1019 I honestly wish it were longer, and I wish I spent more time on Twitch.

7500. I played on OpenEmu which uses the 5200 core. I used a Sony PS4 clone controller.
-
I dedicated a short segment of tonight's show to this one. I have to say it was well received, especially since it will be released on several platforms.
