70500. Played on my freshly AV modded 7800. Really happy with the picture quality!

Look what it looked like before. Very happy with the results!
No more squiggly lines!

You motivated me to download an Atari 7800 emulator onto my laptop so I could join the fun! Truth be told, on the second-to-last lap, I had just run out of time when I coasted over the start/finish line, qualifying me for the final lap.  Luck of the draw!
Oh yeah, my score is 65,000
 

70,100
I'm playing on the MESS emulator.  This was my 5th try and I only crashed once on this run.  Never hit the brakes and only let off the gas to get past that sharp left turn. 
 

OH MY!!!! I have been so busy I miss this. I know what tonights Sunday Night Instagram Live will be!!!! 

69500.
Emulated on my lap top, USB game pad playing live on IG tonight. Video will he posted sold 

WOW. These scores are amazing. Sorry guys, I have been CRAZY busy to keep at it. I did squeak 2 videos and 1 day of just play time out of it. Wicked fun game that I will continue to jam on.

Speaking of livestreams...  I do a "Thurbo Thursday" on Twitch every Thursday.  Maybe I'll play this one tonight.  I usually play three games for about an hour a piece.  =)

Hey guys, glad to see so much participation in a TurboGrafx challenge! This is a really great game and I was hoping you guys would like it.
I spent hours playing and this is the best I could do. I've been meaning to do a livestream but it didn't work out. I may go back and play this game live on Instagram and YouTube later in the week.
My High Score: 244,800
Played the real game on real hardware using real Duo Pad controllers

When it's one of those quick ones, I just keep the phone on camera mode and as soon as I die I grab it and hope the shot comes out okay.  lol
 
Anyway, gave it another try and got past the third boss... but then died soonish on the next level...
156700 now...
 

15400  Real hardware and game.  Got to third boss.

Congratulations atarilbc!
 
Congratulations @atarilbc on a most excellent high score! Did you guys enjoy Robotron on the 7800? I'd like to offer @RetroGameBoyz a very special welcome to the forums! The new dual-pad Atari 2600/7800 controller is a great new addition to the platform! You guys posted some seriously impressive scores on a very challenging game. All of you give yourself a pat on the back, I hope you all had fun with this one! Congrats to everyone who played! I'd like to encourage atarilbc to post his new high score on the Scoreboard, and maybe this Challenge can continue on!

128,900 played using Mednaffe with a Logitech USB gamepad. 
Having PC troubles so I couldn't get to this via emu all week. Had time to restore today. 
Like @Atari Creep, this was my first time playing this game. My first impressions are that it looks really great for the time and is a fun adventure platformer. I would have been pumped to have it as a pack-in.
I think the Creep mentioned that it has a shooter vibe and I think that's a right on observation.  The powerups and body double, coupled with bullet hell inspired enemies make it feel a bit like a SCHMUP. 
In terms of a single-life high score run, the enemy regen allows you to rack up points without the need to progress. Theoretically, you could stay on the first screen and just kill the same three ninja dudes for a few hours. This would be boring as hell but one could do it if points are all that you're after.  For myself, I couldn't take it and had to move on.  Assuming it's the same in real hardware? 

I finally have some free time tonight.  I'm going to give this a try on real hardware.  I've never played it before either.  Looks like fun.
 

104500 live on Instagram tonight.

105,500.
This is an awesome game!  It's one of those "I just have to see what's next" type of games.  Different weapons, different enemies.  Just pure old-school fun.
