HatNJ declined picking the next game, a random draw of remaining participants selected INTVGuy97 to select...


Alright, I thought for a little while, and I think I've got my choice. My choice is...

ASTROSMASH!!! (Of course this would have to be a game eventually!!!)

I just hope I can survive...

hehe, yeah... before you know it 1 day becomes 5 days... eeeek!
Microsurgeon, fun... still not sure how the scoring works for that game though.
If the bill is very high is that a good score??

[IntellivisionGuy97]

Yeah, the higher the bill, the better, and the higher the difficulty, the more digits in the bill.

I can finally get in on one of these, thanks to rev. Will post a score before the deadline.

[IntellivisionDude]

Yay i beat my all time personal best score.

I like when you get past 300,000 not only do you see the game get faster but you hear it. Almost like a ticking sound. Pretty cool.

My first (and last!) attempt - that game is physically and mentally exhausting!


On the plus side, I think I beat my previous personal best by about 700,000 points, so maybe it was worth the sore eyes, aching back and hand cramps!!

Very nice score!

You've obviously got more stamina than me - I can't face playing it again!

I wasn't that anxious to play through the game again either, but knowing that I'd been able to break a million in the past, I wasn't willing to relinquish the number one spot on this game for this particular high score challenge.

It might be a horrible thing to say, but I actually find this game relaxing, even at two and a half hours. Once I'd built up over 320 men, I knew I could muscle my way to the million mark even if I started to crash and burn after 750,000. I did feel some anxiety around the 990,000 mark, when I started going from 40 to 30 men without bursting through that million threshold.

I'd love to be able to do this in GameRoom and reclaim that number one leaderboard spot, but something is off with the relationship between movement and firing in that version of the game that makes it impossible for me.

[IntellivisionGuy97]

*Sigh* Always forgetting, even when I pick the game... Better get to work. Like I said, I hope I survive!

[IntellivisionGuy97]

Oh please, oh pretty please forces that be, please let me survive another round! I wore my lucky Astrosmash shirt while doing this, and it's not the best score, but hopefully it'll be enough. If it is, I will be a happy man.

185,675 (187,625 Peak)(Please be enough)
