Finally, got the million point bonus! Had a lot of tries yesterday without much success, today I got it without even concentrating properly. Must have just got into the flow of the game.

Re: High Score Challenge S18- R9 - Lady Bug
What a great port, very playable!
Got the special bonus in this game. In another game, everything went great and I got to level 14, but didn't get the bonus. If I can do both in one game then that would be nice...

Not a great fan of this one. A marginal improvement from my score from last time we played, though.

Re: High Score Challenge S18- R7 - Starship Command 2022
Not sure if I'm going to be able to top this one. Everything just went like clockwork this time. I kept a record of my score on each level: Level 1 : 1177 points scored Level 2 : 554 points scored, score 1731 Level 3 : 172 points scored, score 1903 Level 4 : 82 points scored, score 1985 Level 5 : 10...

Re: Starship Command 2022 Edition
As mentioned on the high score thread - I missed this thread originally, and I'm only now catching up. It's between this and Chuckie Egg for my favourite BBC game back in the day, and this enhanced version is just great - such a speed increase, it changes the whole feel of the game!

Not a bad game, although the way the enemies spawn right at the top of the screen when you try and collect the ladders is infuriating.

Missed the last game, and unfortunately not had much time for this one, either.
This one takes a little getting used to. 14,550 so far.

Re: High Score Challenge Season 16 - Rd 03 - Castle Assault
Dear oh dear, what a stinker this one is. I'm glad I don't have much time to play this one.
After countless attempts, I finally got to level two. That's more than enough of this.

Re: High Score Challenge Season 15 - Rd 9 - Kix
Not sure how I did this. The difficulty plateaus after a while, and I just had level after level where everything just went perfectly and I could do no wrong. Got to level 28. This will be my last go, I'm not playing this again, I'll never be able to beat this. 70,371 :shock: Over to you Venger :- 8)

Re: High Score Challenge Season 15 - Rd 7 - Wallaby
Nghhhhh, this one is really frustrating. On the one hand I kinda hate it, but strangely, I keep wanting to have another go. The risk/reward mechanic with the bell is pretty good and makes the game a little bit interesting.
