Sabertooth Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Just now, Atari Creep said: How is it using the Ranger on OG hardware? I might try it tomorrow. Works great! I really like both the Ranger and the Trooper. I don't think they got the paddle right on the Ranger but as a thumb pad it's pretty nice!

RickR Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 I tried once more last night on the Atari version, but couldn't beat my prior score (I came close, though). There is no "secret" to this game, @kamakazi20012....it's just that the Atari version allows you to use paddles, and that makes the game a lot more fun.

TrekMD Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 I haven't had a chance to really play this game to properly participate. So, here is the only score I was able to get in the few minutes I was able to play. Justin, RickR and Sabertooth 3 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...

Gianna Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 ❗️ Congrats everyone on another great Squad Challenge! We have a brand new Squad Challenge coming tonight or tomorrow!

Justin Posted July 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) Congratulations Atari Creep! Congratulations @Atari Creep on winning the top spot on the scoreboard! Great performance, and nice to see you win one of your first Squad Challenges! I hope everyone enjoyed our Double Feature and going between the two games. Astrosmash/Astroblast was a nice twist on Asteroids and is a fun play. @Atari Creep takes the 1st Place spot with an impressive score of 111,845 on INTV Astrosmash. @btbfilms76 also showed up with his A-game in a near-win with a score of 104,730 on INTV Astrosmash to take 2nd Place on the board. @atarilbc takes 3rd Place with 81,410 on INTV Astrosmash. @RickR takes 4th Place with 51,345, the highest score achieved on 2600 Astroblast. @TrekMD had a good showing with 5,030 on 2600 Astroblast and @kamakazi20012 came with 4,120 on 2600 Astroblast. In this Double Feature scores from both systems are combined into one Scoreboard per the Squad Challenge instructions in the first post, so we will have to adhere to that and not change up the rules after the fact. The idea is "selecting your weapon of choice" by playing on whichever system you feel you have an advantage on. Theoretically it could have been possible that someone would have an advantage using a Paddle Controller on the 2600 vs. the disk controller on the Intellivision. In the future we may avoid this and have two separate Scoreboards during a double feature. Congratulations to everybody on an exciting run, and to everyone who joined in this Squad Challenge and shared a score! I'd like to encourage Atari Creep to post his new high score on the Scoreboard, and let's make sure this Challenge continues on! NOTE: Our next High Score Squad Challenge will be for the Sega Master System. Be there!

RickR Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Shouldn't there be two separate lists for Atari and Intv? The two versions have a completely different difficulty level. Nice job Creep! Sabertooth and Atari Creep 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Congrats, @Atari Creep. I tend to agree with @RickR, they really are two different games in terms of difficulty. The 2600 port is objectively more challenging. (Just look at my score difference. 😬) It was still a fun change up to have a cross-platform challenge! What other games might work for something like this? BTW - I posted a peak score of 81k on the Inty version. The low score above was my attempt at the 2600.

It's weird, I grew up with Astroblast and played it a lot but killed it on the INTV port. Kind of though moving over and focusing on the Atari port that would have voided out my INTV score.

Justin Posted July 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 The Final Standings Scoreboard has been updated for this Squad Challenge Hey everyone, I wanted to let you know that I've made updates to the scoreboard in this Squad Challenge. When this Squad Challenge came to a close I was in the middle of moving into a new house and without access to my computer. I had to use my girlfriend's laptop to close out the Squad Challenge and was unable to use my Adobe Creative Cloud to create the scoreboard graphic that I usually do. I've updated the Final Standings post to include the scoreboard graphic as it normally would have. High Scores for Astrosmash and Astroblast were added, and I made updates to the post to reflect what system and game the player's high score was achieved on. I owe a sincere apology to @atarilbc as I overlooked his Astrosmash High Score of 81,410, which places atarilbc solidly in a 3rd Place overall finish. Sorry Arlen! I corrected the post to reflect his correct High Score. Thanks guys! RickR, Sabertooth, TrekMD and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 @Justin Thanks for the update to the scoreboard but no apologies needed.
