Smell Dawg Posted January 5, 2024 Report Posted January 5, 2024 175,986, after many, many tries last night. I couldn't figure out why my first run felt so "off"... seemed like things were going too well for being so out of practice. Turned out, I had mistakenly enabled Zen Mode 😅 Marco1019, Justin and Sabertooth 3
Mockduck Posted January 7, 2024 Report Posted January 7, 2024 I am gonna LOSE this one! My best is 123k, but the first best for the challenge here is: 61,162 Smell Dawg, Marco1019, Justin and 2 others 5

Smell Dawg Posted February 2, 2024 Report Posted February 2, 2024 Quantum:R is my favorite soundtrack out of all the Recharged games so far! Really matches the mood. Looking forward to repeatedly seeing the GAME OVER screen in Caverns of Mars, ha!! Atari 5200 Guy and Sabertooth 2

Atari 5200 Guy Posted February 2, 2024 Report Posted February 2, 2024 That game i never heard of before. I plan to send more time on it. But I do consider it one of Atari’s obscure games. It’s a weird game. Sabertooth 1
Atari 5200 Guy Posted February 2, 2024 Report Posted February 2, 2024 Ok. I’m leaving Earth now. I’ll be on Mars by tonight. 😝 Sabertooth and Smell Dawg 2
