Gianna Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 1:05:86 This is a fun game! I can't quite seem to avoid hitting things even after playing over and over 😅 Dinobot711, greenween, Justin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 1:02:09 A slight improvement. I have the CX-40 hand cramp after a few attempts. #oldman greenween, Justin, Dinobot711 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 The hand cramps are real. And why is it so hard to memorize the pattern at this age? 2 down, 2 up, 2 down, 3 up, did my phone just ring? <CRASH!> Dinobot711, Justin, Sabertooth and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenween Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 I had to switch to the Genesis controller to get any better. Great game if you have people to compete with.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) I also wrote the pattern down. 2 down, 2 up, 2 down, 3 up, 1 down, 3 up, 1 down, 4 up, 2 down, 1 up, 1 down, 2 up, 2 down, 2 up, 1 down, 3 up, 1 down, 3 up, 1 down, 3 up, 1 down. Hope this helps. Sorry, I think I corrected the pattern this time. Edited May 15, 2022 by Atari 5200 Guy Justin and Sabertooth 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabertooth Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) 0:56:39 Going to try a few more time for <54 and call it. My score really improved when I switched to a Ranger gamepad.

greenween Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 I'm pulling for you! I really thought I could do it. I think I will keep trying for a couple weeks. Sabertooth 1 "Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) 0:55:17 Too close to call it quits now! The lower clearance for the barns on this difficulty setting, plus the extra birds make it super hard.

Justin Posted May 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Congratulations Atari 5200 Guy! Congratulations to the relentless @Atari 5200 Guy on become our new Activision Barnstorming Squad Champion! This was an incredible win for Atari 5200 Guy, and absolutely stellar scores shared by all! Barnstorming is an absolute Activision classic, and I hope you enjoyed playing it in this challenge. @Atari 5200 Guy takes 1st Place in our Final Standings having scored a time of 0:54:05, coming within five one-hundredths of a second of achieving that Activision Patch-worthy score! UGH, SO CLOSE!! If Atari 5200 Guy only had a little more time! I created a special badge image to be awarded just for this challenge and unfortunately it won't get to be used.... yet?! Let's hope we can run this game again in the future and award another Patchworthy score! Atari VCS prodigy @Sabertooth was hot on Atari 5200 Guy's tail, taking 2nd Place in our Final Standings with an excellent time of 0:54.95. "The Mayor" @greenween is back once again, joining us to take 3rd Place in our Final Standings with a time of 0:55.27. 4th Place goes to High Score Squad legend @nosweargamer with an excellent time of 0:55.35. "The Don" @RickR achieved a terrific time of 0:56.41 taking 5th Place, and @Dinobot711 joins us again with a time of 0:57.47, taking 6th Place. @Gianna gave it her all and rounds things out for us on the Final Standings with her respectable time of 1:05.86 to take 7th. As always I'd like to encourage @Atari 5200 Guy to post his high score on the Scoreboard, and let's make sure this Challenge continues on! Congratulations again to the incredible @Atari 5200 Guy, and a huge shoutout to all of the fantastic flying aces who joined us for a great Activision Squad Challenge. I hope everybody had fun! NOTE: Our next High Score Squad Challenge is a classic Arcade game that we'll play on MAME. Be there!
