EEP! Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 I'll try this one. It'll be my first "High Score Squad" entry ever. I play Q*bert holding the controller traditionally. I tried the diamond hold and I hated it. When I was young I wrapped all the levels on B difficulty. I don't think I am remotely good like that anymore.

I'm sorry, I'll rescind my score. I'm so embarrassed😨. (However, I was playing this earlier today and will be featuring it in a review this month 😁) Luckily I don't own Qubes, so I won't be making this mistake!! socrates63, Rocker67 and Justin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AtariSphinx Posted January 25, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Q*bert (A/A): 58,600 Improvement. Really good port but frustrating when coily reaches near the top of pyramid and when you jump on the disk he waits for you at the top cube to hit you. nosweargamer, HDN, Rocker67 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Pete Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Here's my entry into the High Score Squad Challenge for Q*bert! There's no score really worth mentioning, but it was fun, and I did another CRT/OG versus Emulation comparison. 👍 Justin, AtariSphinx, Sabertooth and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabertooth Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 80,675. This is my last try. It gets really hairy on later levels.

HDN Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Congratulations, all! I'm in luck; I've been playing a lot of Joust on my 7800 recently. I'm not very good at the game, but I enjoy it quite a bit. Justin and Sabertooth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEP! Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 I have a 7800 but only one game. You can guess which one. It isn't Joust. Sounds like I will have to find a way to emulate. Sabertooth and Justin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can have all the games on one cartridge. EEP! and Justin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
