Justin Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Posted February 20, 2016 I love this game - the arcade ports on the 7800 were so good. I got this cart for Christmas of 1986, along with my 7800 console, and played it to death. I enjoy it more now that I have the eruo-pads to use instead of being stuck with the painline controllers. Me too! I've been playing this week on real hardware using a new 7800 euro controller and it's been pretty good. I had only intended to play one night to get a score on the board but I've become addicted to the game
nosweargamer Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 Me too! I've been playing this week on real hardware using a new 7800 euro controller and it's been pretty good. I had only intended to play one night to get a score on the board but I've become addicted to the game I've been using a Sega Genesis 6 button, also on real hardware. Don't know how much time I will have to play more, but if I get the time and feel ambitious, I might get out my Edladdin Supreme 78, since it has a 4 way mode.

He's pulling out the heavy artillery!! NSG - you want to leave that thing packed. No risk of leaving it behind that way. And +1000 points to MightyMattD for sharing the term "Painline controllers".

I had only intended to play one night to get a score on the board but I've become addicted to the game That's what I love about these challenges - they get you playing those awesome games you have just sitting around. Thanks so much for doing these!

Man I didn't know the Edladdin had a 4-way mode - that is really nice. I totally want one
RickR Posted February 21, 2016 Report Posted February 21, 2016 Take cover! Nosweargamer is going to go nuclear after that shock and awe score.

The Professor Posted February 21, 2016 Report Posted February 21, 2016 I think we'll be posting some World Records on our Scoreboard
chas10e Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 well Imma post mine here cause mine has been considerably improving .... 77,420 using a Sega 6 button Arcade stick ... a 4 way stick would prolly help not sure how scores are submitted @ Twin Galaxies .... think video of screen, and console. controller options might be limited as well to stock pro-line or euro pads ( but not sure )
DeLorean Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 We're not all that worried about twin galaxies, we're just having fun for nerd cred. 77,420 is a totally respectable score! Idk how these dudes break 100k. Be proud!

Idk how these dudes break 100k. Be proud! for awhile I was thinking ... "no way" ... was getting killed on first screen ... well I was able to play through all that ... fun little game ... will have to give arcade another try next time I see one ... it was always a quarter waster for me
DeLorean Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 It's never a wasted Quarter if you had fun!
chas10e Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 It's never a wasted Quarter if you had fun! I never had fun .... TIL' NOW in squad challenge \o/

Idk how these dudes break 100k. Be proud! Exactly right! And 77,420 is a hell of a good score chas10e, the majority of people can't do what you did. Posts from the first few days were in the 30,000 range.

Posts from the first few days were in the 30,000 range. them first few days my score was in the 10k range .... I did play one game of Arcade Dig Dug tonight & was the most enjoyable one I played , even though I only made it to 2'nd screen ... I was gonna play a 2'nd one but they were closing for the night :mac_time: & powered down that section of the arcade they chase you down a little quicker if you doddle ( like I generally do ) ...could be a board-difficulty setting though I suppose
Arenafoot Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 I did play one game of Arcade Dig Dug tonight & was the most enjoyable one I played , even though I only made it to 2'nd screen ... I did the same thing last night..............got this far on the Arcade "Dig Dug" Brian Matherne - owner/curator of "The MOST comprehensive list of Atari VCS/2600 homebrews ever compiled." http://tiny.cc/Atari2600Homebrew author of "The Atari 2600 Homebrew Companion" book series available on Amazon! www.amazon.com/author/brianmatherne
Atari 5200 Guy Posted February 24, 2016 Report Posted February 24, 2016 Awesome scores!! I will say this for the 7800 Dig Dug...it packs a harder punch than the 5200 version! I'm trying it in emulation since I don't have it on cartridge (yet) and I keep getting my butt stomped after the 3rd or 4th stage. Fun but damn does the pace pick up quick.
chas10e Posted February 24, 2016 Report Posted February 24, 2016 69550 - getting gradually better. ...rut-roe .... /me fires up 7800 gaming station
