Nope, it's not an April Fools' Joke. It's another Friday Scoreboard!
Welcome to another weekly feature here at DP! It's called "Friday Scoreboard", and here's how it goes: Every week I'll choose a different game at random from any console. I'll then post my choice in the Video Gaming forum along with my highest score that I was able to attain. Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Get the highest score for the week. Simple, huh?
A few ground rules must be made, however, in the interest of fairness. They are:
- No continues are allowed. Once it's Game Over, it's Game Over. (No save states, either. :P)
- No cheats or codes, of course.
- Always use the default (or chosen) settings only. This gives everyone a level playing field.
- Emulators can be used, as well as playing the real thing.
- Have fun! :)
This week's game is Astrosmash. This Intellivision classic was ported to modern day systems, from the Intellivision Lives! compiliation to even cell phones!
My score for this week: 104,050
A few notes:
- I played the game using the highest difficulty level (4, which can be obtained by pressing the disc at the title screen)
- I used "Auto Fire".
- My final score was my peak score, not the score I ended with.
So, Grab your joysticks (or keypads, in this case :P ) and let's go!
