I'm sure a lot of you will get a higher score than that. I'm not particulary good at Robotron. Just one of those games i can't truly figure out. Havent touched this in a long time but my personal best is wave 51 which i did a few years ago in the RetroLeague. Might seem good but the difficulty ramps up quite a bit through each series of waves (every 10 levels). My hat goes off to those who loop it. Also makes me feel like poo since this area of genre is my forte. Sad face.

Wave 51 :o .... That's amazing ! How many levels do you have to beat to loop it btw ?

Man, when you get on a roll, you can pile up a bunch of men quickly, especially with those 5k human rescues.

Here is my first submission:

Red/Yellow Label ( difficulty 5)

263,825

Gotta love those Williams tough games.

Are you saying there a noticeable different between Yellow Label Difficulty 5, and Blue Difficulty 5? Or that there is a noticeable difference between the two on their default settings?

That is info I received off of mame.072 program. I can definitely notice a difference. Mainly in the grunts. STEPHEN is right about the grunts. More numbers and more aggressive.

You've got to be kidding me... 300 points short of M.O.

263,525

I can confirm that I used the difficulty 5 settings for this run.

For most shooter-type games, I find I only watch my character out of the corner of my eye while I constantly scan the playfield for targets and points. The "position" of my character goes more on instinct and "feel".

That style doesn't work with Robotron, I find. My scores started to improve when I switched it up and started focusing my eyes on my character, and aiming out of the corner of my eye. The game field is so cluttered and claustrophobic that you have to make very fine maneuvers in order to survive. For me, it's just not possible to achieve the required level of precision unless I focus directly on my guy.

300 points short on a score of more than 250K....that's really something :blink:. Nice score though :)

Great review of Roboton btw ! It's a claustrophobic game indeed which requires you to focus directly on your character. Cool game though B)

I can do that. Please keep in mind while my skills are ok. A seasoned robotron player might think them to be elementary.

Sniff.
