LOL... as much of a classic this game is, and as much as I've always loved it - this is actually the farthest I've ever gotten in this game!!! :D 23,600

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. :x

I have beaten that score long time ago but I'll have to find time to give it a shot again.

Aren't you or someone going to try to flip this game or flip the scoreboard?

Are you having a laff, that score is almost unbeatable, unless you are referring to JellE's score :D

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.
