Absolutely you can join in. You only had time for a couple of rounds and scored 360,400? That's impressive!

Scores are due for this game by midnight Tuesday night, California time.

Thanks, and Welcome!

lol looks like I am going to have to start playing gradius again.

[Herbarius]

Phew, this game is relentless!


I'll not post a high score until it gets to non-embarassing levels (i.e. 50,000 or more) - if that happens before Tuesday.

[mihcael]

450,600 - Hopefully i can complete this before the round ends!

[starcry]

355300 bah no way im gonna catch that guy lol. Those scores are insane. Im just trying to get my percent to a decent level.

[Jibbajaba]

Hey atari2600land (and anyone else having some difficulty),

I made a video of myself playing through the first level. Among other things, it shows how to get past the volcanoes. Instead of trying to dodge the rocks, camp out over the left volcano and shoot like crazy. It's good for around 10,000 points.



BTW, I'll update the scores list later today.

491,200 - keep dying at the same place, but im getting better along the way!

Realised i was playing at 50fps and not 60, so here is a score at 60fps.

It Wasnt really clear, but it seems 60 is required.

[Jibbajaba]

It would be more accurate to say that 60 is preferred. If you are playing on an emulator anyway, then you might as well play it at 60. If you were playing the actual game on a PAL system then 50 would be acceptable.

Well its not 10 million, but i was glad to finally beat it! Im not normally this good , This game is so similar to Lifeforce (best game) that even though i had never played it before i found it reasonable simple!

[starcry]

Thank you for the 2 day grace period. It seems like I'm always running late on about everything.

You and me both. I always intend to enter these HSC's, and usually forget to submit a score. Thus the grace period.

7 hours left for Gradius!! Score list was just updated.
