Same here.  Still trying though! 🙂

I just happen to keep a copy of Space Invaders beside my 7800 at all times. 🙂 I plan to spend plenty of time on this one. Great choice!

I got 40 on my first try. Doing better. 850 playing the 7800 with a 2600 joystick. 

1,145.

1,410. 

Well, I gave it another try.  Here's what I got:  495!

I took a half day and I'm getting in some gaming before an early Happy Hour. New PB of 1,520.
 

2 230! 

2 230! 

2 230! 

New PB: 2,065. I'm sure the neighbors don't mind my yelling & cursing like a sailor.

Same here.  Still trying though! 🙂

The reason I haven't posted anything new is because I can't even beat my old score.

Cursing and also some wild laughter.  So many close calls and then <FART NOISE> you're dead!  Trying to chase down a shot at the mothership almost always ends in death.  Or lining up a shot just right only to have your own shields block you!  This game is crazy fun.
 

If you don't curse then you need to see a doctor.  The default settings are fun.  This is Space Invaders on steroids!  I don't know how many times I lose a life almost immediately after starting a new game.  Ask me what my vision of hell would look like and I'd tell you stuck playing Space Invaders on crazy 8 mode for eternity.  Just kidding guys.  I'm actually having fun but this is torture.  It's very impressive to think that in these early days of video games that someone at Atari put this in the game.  This is why this game has such great replay value.

1550. Much cursing was involved 

It was all three chips.  Replacing them one at a time did nothing, replacing all three fixed it. It should be good for another 40 years.

I still play on atari 2600,snes,n64 and ps1.

Roll the score on the crazy 8 setting?  Alright @Justin, what are you drinking if you can roll the score with this setting, man.  I want some. Jk 😂.  But seriously...if someone here can roll the score on this setting then wow.  

I completely agree.  This was the first Atari game my family purchased (beyond Combat), and I'm astounded to this day at how good it is.  The graphics, the sounds, the 112 variations....perfection.  For all the talk you see sometimes about "The Intellivision was better"....yeah, but it didn't have Space Invaders.  End of story. 
 

I forgot how perfect this game is. One of the best ports of any game ever if you ask me. So many memories playing it too.

If you guys end up rolling your score we will just have to go with the honor system ✌️

1,410. 

The picture sucks, but that is 1865.
