if we're to speculate on humanly possible i think i largely agree with rtm, though i wont be putting my money where my mouth is. munchkin i think you have to remember there were far fewer games back then so you pretty much had to obsess on just a few. i only played munchkin for a week when i got

I read the "tips" from the Odyssey 2 magazine for "Pete", watched a video of 938 that John Marks provided, and listened to the video of that event where the winner gave his top left "strategy".
In the video that John shared with me the top left strategy failed after

-- i didnt read the links, but good links none the less. i've been using the atari comepdium and reading through old "electronic games" mags. they also have intellivision and atari newsleters on that site, but i dont think they have the 02 one, so this is is good, this is added to my long

15 minute time limit? so that tells me either they required video (hard to beleive back then) or it was also the honor system. also a time limit is particulrly awful to do with the honor system since even an honest person can easily make honest mistakes with timing.
this is a good reminder though

While TG accepted photos back in the day, nobody knows what the folks at Magnavox accepted...or whoever was responsible for the article that cited that 11K score, or wherever TG got the other 1982-1983 scores from (including the sub-2K scores)
I have no idea what the source of these scores was
RTM commented on blog entry Does Anyone Have Knowledge of "U.F.O." for the O2 ? in RTM
One thing to consider...this game MOST likely does not have a 5-digit score...so how would the person prove a score of 11K ?
That leaves the other two scores on the TG site of 6K and 7K. I'll bite my tongue if proven wrong but I don't believe these as well.
Maybe April/May is when
RTM commented on blog entry Does Anyone Have Knowledge of "U.F.O." for the O2 ? in RTM
That 11K score I believe even less, obviously.
John, you have an O2, I encourage you to give it a shot. Watch how hard just one thousand is let alone six, seven or even eleven...I just don't buy that those scores are real.
Seems like a "bounty" is in the cards though not
Snowflake commented on blog entry Astrosmash scores MUST be removed and moved in Intellivision Master
vodoo, on atari its called 'astroblast" on intell its called "astrosmash", same game, i dont know if there are minor tweaks though. an i believe tg has two tracks since you're right score goes down if you miss stuff, so one track is for peak score, another track is for final score
Snowflake commented on blog entry Astrosmash scores MUST be removed and moved in Intellivision Master
al i dont want my scores gone either but we have to be consitent. an even playing field is always needed regardless of how it affects us. fortunatley theres a solution that covers everything. two solutions really
1. split the track and move scores accordingly
2. make the rules such that all scores

sounds like something for a bounty!!!!
personal opinon:
i rememer playing this and noticing how slowly i was improving and then giving up, but consider this. if a game gave you 100 lives, by the time the game was over and you went through all 100 you'd be way better at the end of the

<p>This is one of the tougher titles for the O2. I am reasonably certain that scores in the 2-3K range are do-able with a lot of luck, but the top two scores on the TG database, both from the early 1980's, are out of this world impossible or at least highly unlikely.<br><br>This is a single-life...
