What kind of controller are you using?

Wireless tap and pad.

Oh, spit.  About 5-6 games tonight all in the 20k-25k range.  I improved only 1050.  Fudge.

New score submission: 25,550.  Why is that darn level so darn happy...

Thanks,

Argggh, a few more sessions of playing has netted me several scored in the low 25,000 range, & I managed to snag 29,770, but I was so flabbergasted ("Evil Otto" appeared right on top of me, as I recall) that I was too slow on the pause button to capture my score.  Fudge.  Back to it I go!

and that, is why hiscore saving will not be overlooked this time.

Thanks in advance for not making the scores disappear instantly after the last death--perhaps they could show on the "death" screen that required pressing "Run" to continue--that would be handy.

In any case, I don't expect you to accept my 29,770 score.  I'll keep playing & get some proof when I pull out another good game.


Thanks,
-Jason

Im sorry ._. lol.

I'm pacing myself for a marathon....Actually, I haven't had much luck finding a more affordable adapter or stick. I'll just tough it out with the pad and see how that treats me.

I tried a few rounds with my QuickShot joystick and was reminded of why that piece of shit is best left on the shelf.

quickshots are an abortion.

OK, another session netted 30,030.

Phew!  Got that music stuck in my head!   :-"

I find that the Python 4 (Quickshot) controller controls really well in Galaga 90. It is my controller of choice for that game as it works great since you only have to move side to side. They still sell them brand-spanking new from a seller on Amazon for only $10, which is where I got mine:

But for sure, the controller sucks for everything except for a couple of shooters. It's a nice collector piece to have though.

[Arkhan]

BUMP.

just incase.


the deadline am approaching fastly.

[jasonbar]

Hey Arkham, the top post doesn't reflect my last score entry!   

chany60126, I ordered a Python from Amazon.  It arrived quickly & looks pretty slick (though triggersticks are certainly not my preferene for games with a whole lotta shootin'!).  Thanks for the heads-up!


Thanks,
