The king of arcade remakes is BACK.. Are you ready to compete?? The competition officially started on Sunday, October 10th, 2010, and the final time to get your scores in will be on Sunday, October 24th, 2010. RULES/DIRECTIONS: Start a normal game in Tempest 2000 mode, start from the very first web. Play as long as you can and submit your score when you either give up or GAME OVER (preferrably this). Use whatever control style is comfortable for you (pad, custom rotary, etc). If you are not familiar with the new Jaguar HSC general rules and how the scoring system works, please visit this thread here: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/166522-new-jaguar-hsc-rules-updated-7242010/ It is recommended that you take a photo of your score, but it is not required. We go on good faith here, so please be honest.. Some tips/notes to keep in mind before you get started! - Perfect the webs to score yourself some bonus icons.. Remember, racking up the bonus icons will eventually take you to bonus levels (and level warps upon successfully completing them) - Jumping is your friend. Seriously. After a dozen stages or two, if you don't use the jump power-up almost exclusively, YOU WILL DIE. Period. - Each enemy has a specific pattern, particularly ones that are introduced later in the game. Play based around their patterns, or you will probably die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Sauron Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Here's my meager first offering... 652,681 I'm pretty rusty at it, although that score kinda surprised me considering how long it's been since I've played it. Plenty more time to crack it, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lead didn't last long Yeah, likewise. This version of the game was designed to work around the strengths/weaknesses of the d-pad. Arcade Tempest, on the other hand, is a different story altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've just proved to everyone that you can be a real contender when you want to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 HAHAHAHA, This is one of my favorite games and the only one I'll play over and over to get a better score! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Whew.. Just finished a rather long game, end score being 1,276,996. I was doing pretty well until level 69 or so, then it went all downhill (10+ lives gone in two levels, heh). I know I can do better, but I probably won't have enough time to give this another go.

Hyper_Eye Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 643,850. That is with a rotary. I don't play as well with the d-pad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
