This is the coolest web site I've seen in at least a year. Seriously.

Can you beat my score? Bring your best game, folks. Just tread lightly where the opium is concerned.

[Dahne]

Can you save, or do you have to start over every time you play?

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

Looks like they've stayed true to the original code - no mid-game save, but they do record high scores.

[Dahne]

Well, I got in the day's top with 155,000, but I didn't registe, so I am merely Guest. Bah. :p

[SoulBlazer]

Dude, I'll take the top score....once I can spend a few hours playing it. :D

I used to play this game all the time -- Apple II at school, C 64 at home. Of course, I was also like 8 at the time.... LOL

126,933,140.

I had to destroy my ship so I could get some work done! LOL

I'd never played the game before, but I bookmarked it so I can come back. Thanks very much, PDF!

Hmm, and only in 4 hours. Impressive.

Now I have something to shoot for. Good thing I'm off until the 5th. :evil:

[Oobgarm]

YOU HAVE BEEN USURPED!!!!!!!

Not by me though. I was playing earlier and saw this guy just tearing it up. Go on, look for yourself. :eek 2:

Holy crap. That's...quite a score.

Only took a few months for someone to better it too. ;) I have to admit, I've hardly played since then!
