Each game I've played since this conversation I've noticed the same pattern  When round 3 starts,  it says 'chance time' and then the mothership moves around dropping aliens like normal.  No bricks are returned the player as far as I can tell.  After clearing this stage, the mothership disappears again, the game blinks and your ship is reset to the middle, it hangs, chance time is displayed again with corrupted graphics on the bottom, then ships start coming out of an imaginary mothership on the right half of the screen (which is where I stay and shoot them as they come out).  This continues until your game is over.

I've noticed the same behavior and when it is in the second or third round of chance time it gives you unlimited ships so you can get hit as many times as you want until they fill the "THE END" text but each hit means more chance of missing the enemies as the fill in the letters.

Improved a bit to 12,480 -- Just enough to pass jasonbar !!
