Post by Steve »

Okay, I know I'm gloating, but I scored 219,150 in my last game of Asteroids. Thanks so much for having this game ... It has brought back great memories! :D

Hi Steve;

Asteroids was my FAVOURITE game on ANY platform. Commodore PET, 64, real Arcade boxes... I even remember cuting class to a buddies house to play just a terible version on his Atari... I didn't care... it was asteroids and I kicked azzzz!

I still play it today and can break 100000 from time to time without sniping. >200K is pretty damn good. I think you should be very proud!

Perhaps we could get a competition going using the honour system. If anyone plays asteroids off our site: http://www.commodore.ca/arcade/default.htm

Post your score here and we will determine the official 2006 "Asteroidian".

I am very busy but will make the time in the coming days/weeks. I will post my own scores.

This could be fun!

Sounds good.

Honestly, yesterday I was up to 237,000 points playing Asteroids, but I stopped the game. The game was getting way too long and I had things to do that I was avoiding. ;)

I've just learned the keys are:

1) Avoid death at all costs!
2) Don't shoot wildly into space, especially at the beginning.
3) Be careful with the tiny space ship. Don't get too aggressive with it.

Anyway, I obviously don't have a life. :D
