RickR Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 WOW! Great score, man. I can see that happening; you get in a zone, get the double ball going for a while, and when you finally look up at the score, it's way up there. Good job. I'll keep trying! greenween and Justin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenween Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 I got in the zone for sure! Still plenty of time left Rick. I'm going to plan on this being my highest score for this challenge.

chas10e Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 1964 New personal best I suppose, I started screwing up by looking at my score during play 🙄 .... just hitting one point blocks at the time made it even worse 1 hour ago, greenween said: My goal for today was to break 2,000. 3,041!

Atari 5200 Guy Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Well...it's a start. This game I'm not good at lol. Now...on the 5200 version I could play it all day long with decent results. The 2600 plays a mean Breakout game. Justin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari 5200 Guy Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Last one for me now. I am getting good at keeping all three balls in play for a bit but it plays hard on the eyes. RickR, Justin, greenween and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 I kept playing last night and all I got for my efforts was a busted paddle set. The brittle plastic gave way on both paddles. 😭😭😭🤷♂️ RickR and Justin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chas10e Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 2459 A thing I was curious about happened this game .... cleared a screen with 2 balls in play, hoping one would be trapped above the bricks (that wouldn't have happened in this instance anyways) ... when the bricks reset one of the 2 balls I had in play got disappeared. So I guess no more than 3 balls on the screen at one time. Justin, greenween and RickR 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari 5200 Guy Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 At times it seems like those last bricks move at the last second so the ball misses. RickR and Justin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah when you go around the screen 6 times & the ball won't hit it then ya gatta risk using the bottom paddle to try & get a different loop.

Scott Stilphen Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 The game does have an inherent issue with that variation. The captive balls are brown and flicker, which allows them to sometimes pass through a brick and even your paddle. Here's 2 videos I just put up. The first shows one of the captive balls going right through a brick multiple times. I was only able to knock it out using the blue ball. The other shows a captive ball going right through the paddle. Justin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianna Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 Here is my score so far. I played using paddle controllers. It seems like I go a while on the first ball, and then once I lose a ball I go through them really quickly! You guys have really good scores!

Yea, you really have to kind of be in a trance when watching where the ball is going. Thanks for the compliments. This is a fun game.
