[Squad Challenge - Venture Reloaded (Atari 2600)]

136,400.

That treasure screen is sooooo satisfying. 🙂

[Squad Challenge - Venture Reloaded (Atari 2600)]

Correct on both. I forgot the rooms don't fill in. No treasure screen on the original.

[Squad Challenge - Venture Reloaded (Atari 2600)]

High score as well.

It is a great game! That's why I love these high score challenges as they get me to play games that I probably wouldn't play otherwise. I am curious what the official Venture release is like and how this improves on it.

Thank you and yes, everyone should play it more. You have a week remaining 🙂 

It's been a while since I've played the original. This version is pretty much equal to the Colecovision port. Room names and treasure screen are the obvious improvements.

[Squad Challenge - Venture Reloaded (Atari 2600)]

So close to 100K. 🙂 93,000.

[Squad Challenge - Venture Reloaded (Atari 2600)]

Managed to do a little better. My PS2 controller started crapping out and cost me two lives! Lame. Lol 44,600.

[Squad Challenge - Venture Reloaded (Atari 2600)]

I'm even more excited to get my physical copy!

[Squad Challenge - Venture Reloaded (Atari 2600)]

Finally have some time to spend on this. This version is absolutely perfect to me. Just to get on the board. 22,800. Using Stella with a PS2 controller. 

[Squad Challenge - Venture Reloaded (Atari 2600)]

BAM!!! Fully loaded! Thank you!

You probably already know this but I put all my 2600 ROMs in a subfolder in the location Stella.  Atari Mania has a single file with every known 2600 game in it.  I will go and get the link for you should you need it.

That would be awesome!!

[Squad Challenge - Venture Reloaded (Atari 2600)]

Installed and working! Thank you!

[Squad Challenge - Venture Reloaded (Atari 2600)]

From what I'm reading online it'll take a miracle for me to get this in the next month. I haven't had Stella in at least 10 years.. Gonna see if this old fella can figure it out. LOL

[Squad Challenge - Venture Reloaded (Atari 2600)]

I purchased this from AtariAge about a month ago. Fingers crossed it will arrive soon. 🙂

 

[Squad Challenge - Asteroids (Atari 7800)]

16,010. 

[Squad Challenge - Asteroids (Atari 7800)]

First time I've beaten my previous score. 13,220. I am not good at this game! 

[Squad Challenge - Asteroids (Atari 7800)]

I just read the manual and it says pushing down is hyper space. Odd that it doesn't.

I confirmed with my 2600 Starplex controller that the down button activates hyperspace. That's weird that tapping down on a 7800 compatible joystick does nothing. Maybe I should try the OEM 7800 controller to see how hyperspace is activated... assuming I have one.

I have a boxed Starplex I got from RickR a while back. Gonna try it next! 🙂

[Squad Challenge - Asteroids (Atari 7800)]

Just tried with a Sega Master System controller and it works as well. I found with both, I hyper space by accident way too often.

[Squad Challenge - Asteroids (Atari 7800)]

I just happened to have the 2600 controller hooked up when I tried playing. Works the same as the 2600 version of Asteroids.

 

[Squad Challenge - Asteroids (Atari 7800)]

Sure it does. Just push downward. 🙂

[Squad Challenge - Asteroids (Atari 7800)]

11,550. Playing on real hardware with a 2600 controller. 

[Squad Challenge - Asteroids (Atari 7800)]

One of my most played games on the 2600 growing up. I've owned this version for about 10 years. I think I've played it twice! LOL Time to get on it!

[Squad Challenge - Vanguard (Atari 2600)]

You crushed it Socrates63. When the thumb heals I will be back on this great game. 🙂

[Squad Challenge - Vanguard (Atari 2600)]

WOW!! Great score. I was curious if it rolled over at 100k. Played for a couple hours yesterday and woke up with my trigger thumb swollen to the point that I can't move it! Sucks getting old. 🙂 Still have a few more days though.
