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!

Just got a high score of 186,095. I also had about 30 lives stockpiled for a while. Woo!

The key here is momentum. If you keep on losing lives every five seconds, obviously you're not going to get any further. You need to concentrate on the level, and get into a good groove.
