Highest Score in exactly 60 minutes.

Time starts when the Player 1 start button is pressed, which is also exactly when the start-game sound happens and the arena rectangle is drawn on screen.

When 60 minutes is reached, the on-screen score at that moment is the player's final score.



Onscreen timer or visible "handheld" timer preferred to ease the adjudication process, but not required.



Difficulty 5

25K Bonus Lives

3 Lives to Start

Free-Play Setting is Acceptable.

Technical Preservation- Machine can be on prior to starting game and does not have to be powered-up as part of the submission for TGSAP (These are machines over 3 decades old and require technical care to keep running, excessive power-cycling is not appropriate in most all cases)

NOTE- Ending game after 60 minutes isn't required, but the submission should include end-of-game initials entry.

The Psychology of the Challenge:

This challenge involves a more complex game strategy by the player.

At times it will be useful to sacrifice the player's own life to earn extra bonus points by saving human family members.

Other times, it will be important to not sacrifice the player's life so the human bonus level increments up to 5k and stays there as long as possible during the wave.

The most crucial tip is to learn to identify the specific Human being targeted at the start of Brain waves, which will help maximize the amount of points acquired on those waves (Mikey trick).

It all comes down to Risk vs Reward, which side of the equation will you lean toward! With great risk comes great reward, or DOES IT?!?!
