Mockduck Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 I have yet to get to Wave 3! Game is tough. Most of my scores are in the 10-12K range at best, but here's my best from last night, enough to at least submit:: 24,041 stirrell, Justin, RickR and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 Getting a bit better! Learning some tactics for the Tempest part, which will help a lot as well. Finally got to wave 3. 31,251 Justin and Sabertooth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabertooth Posted January 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Some of us were chatting about this in Discord earlier, but wouldn't it be amazing if they actually brought this one off arcade cabinet of VCTR-SCTR to market? This was brought to CAX 22 by Digital Eclipse to promote Atari 50 last July. Fantastic! RickR and Justin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
