Robotron Scores

<< < (2/5) > >>

(+_+):
I've rolled it over 10,000,000 points playing it on level 10/30,000 per free man. Now that's a sweat fest. One bad tank wave and you could be toast. Brian Kings high score isn't really a test of skill but more a test of endurance. I take my hat off to that though since he must have played for a couple of days straight. Playing at factory settings is a joke for skilled Robotron players. You end up with so many men in reserve, you can go have a nap during the game. I've posted this elsewhere at some point. Try playing one hand each with a friend. One guy moves and the other guy fires. We managed to roll the machine on a few occasions at factory settings (level 5/25,000 per free man). If you think playing alone is difficult, try relying on your buddy to fire you out of a hectic moment. I was an evil 'mover'. I'd purposely take my firing buddy into hell and back. Sometimes we'd pull off feats that made us laugh out loud. I haven't played it seriously in a while. Boy I love that game. Thanks E.J.

Perhaps you should start a traveling seminar for the Robotron-challenged.

I think there was a thread about this a while back.

I thought Robotrons video blitter was fixed at .99. I definitely noticed a difference in scores when I jumped from .84 to .99.
I'm somewhere in the 300,000's. If I'm having a good game, it usually gets hosed up at the tank level.

After I lost my other arm, I resorted to playing with my feet.  It looks rediculous but hey, you've gotta do what you gotta do. ;)

Me and the wife do this all the time with Pinmame. It is pretty fun that way.
