First game for the hi-score challenge, woohoo!

Hmm, I was just getting warmed up it seems....

Again, welcome to our Hi-score competition and what an amazing hi-score submission to start your hi-score quest

I was about to add your 769K to the hi-score table and now you have even broken the 1 million points. WOW !! Great job George

As you probably already know you can compete for your position at our GameEx Leaderboard. Your hi-score position on each hi-score game represents points for your Leaderboard position.

dumb question, but is there a list of all game in the hi-score challenge? I'd like to give Asteroids and Galaga a try

[GimmeClassics]

Yes, I've created a Games List which enables you to check at a glance which hi-score games are part of our competition.

Note: I do have to add Snow Bros. and Choplifter to this list. These are the two games which have recently be added to our competition.

Happy hi-scoring !!

I dunno...just practice I guess. I slowed down alot on my first 5 rounds to wait until the "Running out of time" buzzer goes off and then I close out. Besides that trying to get a 10-8k bonus due to shooting the baddies at the right time. Usually if I get a 0:00 on my first baddie I just kill the other guys quick because that is 10K bonus...but after 6 I am just trying to survive and try not to make any dumb mistakes... Doesnt help much I am sure...plus That might get you too my point range but these 500K plus guys...I have no idea how they do it :

that's pretty much my style. keep shooting doors until the timer ticks close to all the way down. shoot bandits close to 0:00 takes practice but is worth the big points, if I'm at 0:00 (worth 10k) i try to shoot bandits early to preserve that time, I try not to have people in all 3 doors at once - too much to track, try to leave one door on the left or right free, spelling EXTRA by shooting red shirt bandits is always a plus (but dont complete EXTRA if you are near the round because you won't get your end of round bonus, just the 20k and extra life)..that's about all my "tricks"

[rtkiii]

I did not know about the "Extra" part...that is helpful!

Insane score, George.

[Mame Offender]

A tiny improvement.

I find Bank Panic to be a toughy. There are some really good scores up on our board.

You've at least broken the 100K point barrier The top 3 are crazy scores and GeorgeT's hi-score is insanely amazing

My brother was telling me about this game, but I'm no good. The first couple times I tried to play this, I shot right away at the guy with the masks on. Then he explained that you get more points waiting until he "draws". Makes since I guess. Took a bit of practice getting there, but I started to get the knack of it. Then I hit level 2 and it was all over. Hat's off to you gents in the upper tiers of this board. I'm never gonna get there.

Score: 37,000
