[Akito01]

For a first go, I was aiming for at least ten thousand, so I'm pretty happy with 12,640 to start.

[Akito01]

Throwing the gauntlet down, 31,000 points.

My first time in a high score club... and my first time playing Atlantis

1920


I will probably beat this later.

[cmart604]

Hmmm. I didn't bother taking a picture of my 7000 for Atlantis as I thought I'd just be getting a particpation point....must play again I guess.

[Akito01]

Atlantis - 34,300 points.

Starting to feel pretty good about this. People don't like the game enough to play it a bunch, or are the big guns just lying in wait to crush my pride like a nut?

I just read the manual and learned that there is a flying saucer you can use by pressing "0" on the keypad. It has limited fuel and you get 4 times the points. I played a couple more games and really improved my score.

The UFO has always been my traditional go-to method for dealing with the night sequence, though this explains why I never knew that the UFO multiplied your scores -your score doesn't display during the night. I didn't immediately beat my high score, but I got close, and a full two days earlier than my current high score run. Things are starting to get interesting...

[cparsley]

Yes to the UFO, and even if it crashes, it usually 95% of the time, gets reset at daybreak. I have seen about 15-20% of the time it'll even reset early (at dusk-nite) prior to the new day, but you can never count on it.

At the risk of sounding dumb, how do you take a screen shot of the high score in Mission X? I just got my copy today and played through a game. I went to get the camera, but then the screen started scrolling along in a post-game display, and it stopped showing my score. Does the score pop up again, or do I just have to be faster with the camera?

It will show the score one more time after scrolling begins, but only once.

It shows the score every time the runway scrolls by, about once every 2 or 3 minutes. If the screen goes blank, just press the disc to bring the scrolling picture back. It took me 3 or 4 tries to get a good picture.

Mission X - 37,800

A minor improvement, but perhaps as much as I'm going to get. The game is a bit of a slog, and feels unresponsive in a way that I don't think is entirely due to the Intellivision II style controller.
