Great job Kid A , I tried & tried at the last moments to reach your score but couldn't do it.
Was a fun squad challenge. great game

1:13.74

 
Finally was able to beet Ricks score ... like Sully I may have gotten a couple of bird-strikes

Oh, I beat you to that one.  I did that twice before I realized I wasn't playing the game correctly!  LOL

Took me a LOT of tries ... I did discover if you just let the plane fly high & bump birds the game ends at the 5:00.00 mark :P

I bought this game cib a good few months ago but never played it. needed a bit of q-tipping
my first score wasn't as good but here it is. 2:07.08 I thought you got points for going over a windmill

As Constable, I have three simple rules:
1) No stealing
2) You may only go UP on the escalators. Elevators can be used to go up or down.
3) STAY OFF THE ROOF!

NEW CHATROOM - WELCOME CONSTABLES!
 
Hi Gang,
We're about to roll out the new chatroom! It will launch later this evening, Friday, November 30th, 2018. 
Today we're announcing that RickR and nosweargamer will be serving as Constables in the new chatroom! Constables are volunteers deputized with the powers of a Moderator in the chatroom. Constables are empowered to boot and ban people from the chat and delete chat messages when appropriate to do so. Constables are also able to lead Wednesday Night Atari Chat conversations and contribute to new events in the chatroom!
RickR and nosweargamer are longtime Members in the forums, having been here since the forums first launched nearly five years ago and have become pillars of our little community. I trust them both very much. In years past they've both been highly active in the chat and have made substantial contributions to the welcoming "culture" that has come to define Atari I/O. I have complete faith in them both and know that our community will benefit from their service as Constables in the chat. 
I think they are going to have a very easy job. I have zero concern that anybody here right now reading this would ever give cause to be booted or banned from the chat. It's rarely ever been an issue here. I think of our community a lot like the bar from "Cheers" - it's a place we come to at the end of the day where "everybody knows your name". I want the same feeling to carry over into the chatroom. I don't want to see new people join the forums and begin to abuse the chat. 
In previous years there were short-lived members who would enter the chat with nothing but negativity, criticism of other members, and unnecessarily aggressive language. Normally I don't like to censor speech in the forums, however given prior experiences it will be important to set the right tone in the chat and maintain a "culture" here impervious to abuse and consistent with the vibe set in the rest of the forums. If things ever start to go off the rails in the chatroom as new people join our ranks, the Constables will be empowered to take action as they see fit.
The chatroom will be "Rated PG-13". We're all adults here and can handle serious conversation. I'm less concerned with 4-letter words and more concerned with maintaining a positive, welcoming "Cheers"-type environment. No bar fights! And as always, Moderators will also be empowered to take action in the chat when appropriate.
I'm excited to see everybody back in the chat! The chat will be always on line, all day, every nite. It will be obvious how to enter and post to the chat, and members will be able to view and post to the chat a little more freely than before. The app we're using for the chatroom is called Chatbox. It's similar to the old chatroom but you will notice a few differences. YouTube videos can now be shared as links and played directly in the chat. Images can be posted as links and will also populate in the chat. One difference I don't like that I hope will change in an upcoming release is that there is not a list off to the side of members currently active in the chat. I wish there were, but that's not something I have control over.
Wednesday Night Atari Chat will return to a regular schedule, along with other organized events in the chatroom to be announced at later dates. I hope to see you all there!
 
Best Regards,
 

 

Hat Trick! It took many, many, many, many, many....tries, but I finally cleared the canyon 3 times within a game.  KidA, you really pushed me to my limit!

I concur:  I can see the difficulty settings are set correctly
Once you have a successful hit on a boulder you don't need to fire again until a new plane enters the screen. If you don't fire for a given screen , you will lose some precious health
Welcome to the Site \o/
Willie did a good review of both this & the arcade version
 

Wasn't quite sure where to post this lol. 
This is pretty cool guys, this "game" allows you to drive a real remote RC tank around a scale model of Chernobyl! It looks wild. ??
 
 
 

That would be AWESOME ....BUT .... there's a couple at Funspot NH  and a bit closer
I DID bring my 7800 over there & he played but didn't qualify on the Fuji track. his wrist was mangled trying to hold the stock pro-controller with the stick in the upright position .... I had a great time ... right after we wound up playing some GTR4 on an Xb360 .... he beet me after putting me into a wall
 
I do have a phelonic ball modded pro-stick that plays better & an Elladin seagull78 adapter for a Sega-pad I hadn't told him about 

My 12 year old nephew was playing 2600 version of Pole Position for the first time tonight , I might have to bring my 7800 up there and have him play PP2 tomorrow.

I was practicing a bit this past week. This is a game I didn't like, until this HSS informed me I was playing it wrong! I didn't realize it wasn't timed based, but missed shot based! Really changed things. All this time I thoughts it was a boring button masher...
Here's my best score. Ironically, I ignored trying to keep up with the computer and ended up trouncing the cheater (since he is allowed to miss as much as he wants)!
