More classic gaming in round 3 of the HSC with the runnaway poll winner...
QIX
![Posted Image]()
Play the Atari 1982 version. I think there are issues with the file versions not running properly on some menus (goes screwy after a while) but it should work ok loading from DOS. Take the default settings. Standard scoring.
Bonus point
Beat orpheuswakings HSC record of 638,287 from season 8 for 1pt.
I love Qix so will be having a bash at that![:P]()
Bonus Challenge
Set the threshold to 90% using Option/F4![:-o]()
1pt for the highest score
Bonus game
I thought about a Qix like bonus game, we played Filler Up before (from Analog magazine - Tom Hudson), I thought there was another one and eventually found Electric Starfish but it looked suspiciously like Filler Up, and... it is! See Tom's comments on atarimania, what a rip-off![:thumbsdown:]()
Noticed that someone did the same to Paul Lays Freeway Ace game from Page 6 mag ![:twisted:]()
Anyway I was going to go for the game where you fill in the pre-drawn squares, think there was money in them?? but I couldn't remember what it was called! So I've plumped for Alternity which isn't Qix like but might be fun, and we get to shoot stuff![:D]()
anyone know this game?
