Hope that it wasn't serious and that you're on the mend.

I did pretty good on the Atari 5200 version. So let's try this one now.

117,400

The game rolls at 100K.

True story. My friends used to ridicule me because I sucked so bad at the arcade and CV version of this game.

Is it true that in later rounds Zaxxon has a missile on both sides?

[JEFF31]

43,100 - and probably my only try (I know many will disagree but I thought this game sucked big time - hated it back in 82 and I still do. could never figure out the 3/4 view ).

Managed to squeeze in a good session today - 269,700 - thought I'd get more but a few careless moves cost me my last few ships. Becomes more a game of stamina rather than skill due to the difficulty level not rising after the initial stages.
