Sabertooth Posted April 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 My first submission 42,130 using a Modern Controller. Because of the funky way the Recharged titles show the score and with the advent of online leaderboards, we can either accept in-game leaderboards or online VCS AtariOS leaderboard photos. Of course, you can post a video of your attempt too! Here's my score both ways. VCS AtariOS: In-game: D.joe and Justin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabertooth Posted April 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) 47,520 with the Modern Controller. I decided to do a quick capture as an example of a video submission. This is straight capture without commentary. Of course you can do it any way you choose! Some folks live stream or comment as they play. I'm not good enough for all of that. 😉 Edited April 1, 2022 by Sabertooth D.joe and Justin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that you're checking it out @RickR! One of the things about the Recharged series is that the challenge levels really teach you how to use certain power-ups. Spending time going through the challenges will help your performance in the arcade mode. Justin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 I'm just curious what type of controller you all are using for this game. I started with a mouse, but that seems way too sensitive (I'll bet there's a setting for that). Sabertooth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game was designed for gamepad I personally find it the most natural to use the analog thumbstick. The Classic Joystick works well too.
