Deteacher Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 66,800. I had 3 lives starting on the level I lost on. What's worse is that when I had all 3 lives, my score was 66,800. I didn't get a single point in 3 lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you having a laff, that score is almost unbeatable, unless you are referring to JellE's score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atariksi Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I've done it and my brain's nearly exploded!!! If your brain hasn't exploded yet, try a different joystick. Joystick makes a big difference as to what max. score you get with this game. I prefer the small original atari joystick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
