"I think I'll post my high score from a few days ago, to solidify my lead. Just to be safe..."

 

*Hops on to the forum, looks at NSG's score*

 

"AAAAAHHHHH!"

 

 

129800 here.

 

There's still a few hours left, I can do this! Maybe....

 

 

[Squad Challenge - Centipede (Atari 2600)]

New score: 107714. This time on an emulator, with video!

Ah, but according to the manual, the easy mode does roll at 100,000. Interesting quirk. So Lee was correct as well.

[Squad Challenge - Centipede (Atari 2600)]

OK, judging from a YouTube video I just watched, the score rolls at 1,000,000.

[Squad Challenge - Centipede (Atari 2600)]

99029. I could have probably hit 100,000, but I didn't want to roll the score (if it does roll there). Guess I need to start thinking about capturing video.

Skip that 5.  Use the L.  High five. 

 

Sounds good.

 

Alright...

Encounter at L5 (2600)

Hold on, that there's a number at the end!

[Squad Challenge - Centipede (Atari 2600)]

Here's my score: 76040.

 

Achieved on a 7800 with a twitchy wico joystick that's lost its ability to center. (Maybe that helped?)

Missed #1 and #4.  Those are neat!  How did you do that?

 

I ran the games in an emulator (Stella), and repeatedly took screen captures. I picked out the ones that had all the frames I needed, and then used a paint program to get the pieces and make small adjustments (for example, sprites that didn't show up well against white I made slightly darker). After saving each frame as an individual GIF, I used http://gifmaker.me/ to make them into a single animated GIF. There are other sites for making animated GIFs, but this was the only one I found that was handling transparency correctly.
