Decided to do a little better. Flipped it to 23,125. Played on the 7800 with a 2600 joystick.
 

Once the shields are gone I start each level with the joystick pushed to the right and the fire button down. Taking out the bottom 2 rows all the way across, then all the way back to the left for the final row. Smooth sailing from there. 🙂

I figured out a strategy when I was 12 that can pretty much let you play until you're just ready to quit. Snapped a pic right before the score rolled. 9,960.

Cool. This was my most played Atari game growing up so I'm pretty good.  Lol

Question. I scored 11,050 and realized the score flipped at 10k. How can we handle this?

Huzzah! 

The 6th was the most difficult for sure!
 

Coming for you Gannon. Hopefully on Wednesday.
 

Thrillhouse.

Calling it a night. Level 5 tomorrow!

Day 2 on my NES. Heading to level 3 now. Took the time to gather heart containers, rupees, master sword, and every other item obtainable. I am using walkthroughs for the best pattern for getting these things.

Count me in. I remember buying this one before I had even heard about it. I remember holding it and reading the box and knew it was the game I had been waiting for. Absolute classic. 

I'm debating what game to bring.  Hmmm.  There are so many I like to play.

Objective: BRING YOUR OWN GAME AND SHOW US WHAT YOU'RE PLAYING!
It's SHOW AND TELL in High Score Squad! Now is the time to introduce us to one of your favorite games and show us what you're currently playing! For the next two weeks we're asking you to show us what you're playing, tell us a little bit about your game, and maybe a bit about yourself along the way. Share personal stories and photos of your game, post photos of your progress and high scores, along with photos of your cartridge, manual, posters, and anything else interesting about your game.
RELAX AND ENJOY playing one of your favorite games and share hints, tips, and photos of your progress along the way! In this "Let's Play" Challenge, we are not competing for a high score, and there will not be a winner declared at the end. Instead, this is an opportunity to enjoy a gameplay experience together with friends in the forums. Share new secrets, helpful hints, and your overall thoughts on this title as you progress through the game! This "Let's Play" Challenge is a perfect opportunity to livestream your gameplay or share footage on YouTube, Instagram, Twitch or Facebook. Posts must be made between July 1st through July 14th, 2022. Screen captures are not allowed as they are more easily manipulated for falsified scores. Multiple submissions are permitted.

Might as well make it a full summer of Zelda playing when you have time.  I plan on it.  Zelda is too good of a game to simply pass up.  Lots of good memories with that game.  This is the game that made me a little more social.

Congrats to @greenween for the top score!

Awesome job, Green!

Good job @greenween.  I threw down the gauntlet and he picked it up and slapped my @ss with it!   
 

Here’s my little setup…borrowing space in my wife’s office for now!! 👍😀🕹👾🔥🔥🔥

Feel free to keep posting your progress in here @RickR 

I didn't finish in time, but I have every intention of finishing.  I may skip the next one Earthbound just so I can finish this.
 

Huzzah! 

Oh no! @Gianna and I had both intended to post scores for this Squad Challenge, but my Space Invaders cartridge seems to have bit the dust! I gave it a good cleaning earlier this week. I keep most of my games in nice shape, I think this one is roached. I'll have to call @Video 61 and order another one. If I can get a score in tonight I will. Good luck to everybody playing!
