Ive been waiting to see someone good at that game for years.

Thank you. My highest in the arcades is about 3.3M, but you have to hang around and kill a lot a bandits to get a score like that.

I wonder if we will see any serious challengers now that people can see that the game can be finished on one credit.

Anyway, I'm taking a break from Blasteroids for a while. Next game on my hit list: Vindicators.

Ill be looking forward to that one as well. I could never get the controls working comfortably in mame for that one.

Good Luck!

yes, excellent job Scorpion! I remember spending quite a few tokens just to get through the game in the arcade, so it was great to see you finish on one credit. I never would have thought it was possible.

Question: do the special crystals that restore full fuel always appear in the same sectors?

Yes. The crystals, number and types of asteriod, number and types of enemies as well as the powerups that they drop are always the same. This way you can be prepared with a lot of powerups for when you face Mukor (which is necessary for the final few times).

Shoot!! you didnt quite make it to the end. How much more was left and have you finished it(Vindicators)on one credit before?

Excellent job though!

I had about 3 more stages to go. My best in the arcades was finishing with about 1.3M, but I'm not sure what difficulty the machine was on. With more practice I hope to be able to finish on one credit once again...
