Astronomical Asteroids
 

PokéCommunity Get-Together 8 Gaming Challenge.



Do you have what it takes to survive in the pitch black, darkness of space? You are surrounded by asteroids and aliens, the only way to survive is to fight them off. But be warned, those asteroids break up!

Welcome to the PokéCommunity Get-Together 8 Gaming Challenge. In this event, you will be simply trying to get the highest score possible.

##ASTEROIDS EMBED##

Important Dates


Round #1 - 15th to the 18th.
There is only one round in which you enter your highest scores and try to destroy as many of those asteroids as possible.

How to enter


All you need to do to enter is take a screenshot of your highest score and post it here. The highscore will be displayed at the top left hand corner of the game over screen once your three lives are up. Note, you can only use the version of the game that I give you, any other offsite versions will not be taken into account.

To enter, all you need to do is post:

Ah, that was really dumb. The level started with three asteroids around me and then I died three times in a row before I could even move.

If you don't mind, I'd like to know which emulator you're using and how you got Asteroids into it. I've been wanting to get Asteroids on my PSP but never tried Atari emulators yet.

Gymnotide July 16th, 2011 2:13 AM

This game seriously has a personal vendetta against me. Every time I lose at least 3 lives in a row because they keep respawning me the middle of bullets / asteroids.

I am actually seriously getting pissed off at the respawn mechanism for this game :( I wouldn't even mind if they reset the level every time you died... As long as you didn't get respawned in the path of bullets and things.

And ffs I wish it was click-to-shoot. The steering system sucks.

Nihilego July 16th, 2011 5:17 AM

Is it actually possible to even pause this?

Captain Fabio July 16th, 2011 5:28 AM

Haha, don't forget guys that this is retro gaming, it was different back then!
Also, there is a pause state, you just hit 'P'.


vaporeon7 July 16th, 2011 5:38 AM

I pretty much rage-quitted after a while but I'll try again later..!

I suppose! But it's also not like you can't patch a game and still have it be retro :( :( :( :(
Anyway, can't get above my other score, so I'll just give up.

Well, I bought the Atari game...not the emulator....it costs less than 20$ and such, my dad gave it to me and has all the old good games really.

So they have Atari on the PSP? I thought the only way was emulation.

That's as high as I could get without the sounds driving me crazy. XD
Getting spawned in the way of bullets is never fun.

If this were Geometry Wars 2 or Super Stardust HD then I would have done a little better. XD
