Difficulty Level We are playing on the "One Teddy Bear" skill level. Don't let the "Teddy Bear" icons fool you! This starts you off with the default level of gameplay. When you graduate to each higher level, the playground is faster, tougher, and even more challenging than the one before. Fair Play Your integrity is everything. Players should play fairly, be honest, and have fun! Falsified scores will result in your immediate removal from the site. It goes without saying that we will not allow cheats, hacks, cartridge frying, enhancements, rewinds, deceitful photo manipulation, subterfuge, or any other unfair advantage.

Marco1019 261 Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 I announced this Squad Challenge in the Lvl Up Score Discord as this was announced a few days after my most recent show. The good news is that Lvl Up Score is celebrating #AtariApril as gamers are focusing on all Atari systems throughout the month. So I hope there's some crossover between the sites. Good luck to all of the participants! RickR and Atari Creep 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a big step and I'm excited about it. The coffee table is staying but I'll have a dedicated gaming area in the new place. Will definitely post some photos once it's all set up.

RadioPoultry 849 Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 I've wanted to participate, but I'm just too busy this month so far. Maybe things for me will slow down a bit in a couple weeks for the next challenge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
