No Eric I don't stream unfortunately mate....I did buy a web cam about a year or so ago and had good intentions of starting to but one thing lead to another the idea just never got off the ground for me

.....I read some where that for a better more reliable stream you need to ethernet connect but where my cabs are they are no where near the router and to steam via 'WiFi' it's not that good apparently

 

[Hurray Banana]

That's a shame Russ you are obviously a natural player mate.

I use power lines to stream as no wifi in my room and don't want to run cables they do the job very well.

 

[Guests]

I've had zero issues streaming via Wi-Fi Russ.

Get set up and go for a score sir!

My personal best just keeps on getting better

Had a great game over the weekend and managed to smash my last score and roll the waves at 99 and got upto wave 110

Settings are 5 recommended...25.000 extra life with 3 life start...

Another great score. loving the progression shown in the score table

 

[joeks]

Great score!

I really just started playing Robotron for a couple of days now, after finishing restoring my cabinet.

Don't laugh, my personal best is only 177.700

My brother is a little better with 244.425

But it's an awesome game with great pace.

Just beat my personal best this evening (well smashed it to be more precise

)....

I got my score on my new Jrok board (the newer version with the 'Tie Die' romsets)...



10,699,750

...

Unfortunatly the high score table will only show 9,999,999



So my high score table shows just under 10mill but my actual score is over 10mill...

I managed to rap the waves around at 256 (when this happens the 'difficulty' goes back to the original wave one (you all probably knew that

)...anyhow I rapped the waves at 256 and managed to get back upto wave 99 so when you look at it I got to wave 355 if you continue to count the waves after 256....

not sure how long the game play was as I didn't notice the time when I started the game

It was done on the same settings as before...

Difficulty........5 (Recommended)
Starting lives.......3
Extra life......25,000

I no I have only the first and second high scores on the table on screen as this is my newer Jrok board i've got plugged in,my older Jrok board has all the other scores on from earlier in this thread...

Well done Russ

 

[tronads]

Superb. I managed a personal best on Saturday night at arcade club, 490k, which was only good enough for 22nd thanks to Jay and Fuzzy locking out the score tables !

 

[CharlieFar]

Well done!

10M is just silly.

 

[Guests]

Great to see you guys going large on Robo!

We have some decent Robo skills here in the UK. Pity Greg doesn't come on more often, he's a player for sure!

 

[Guests]

Do you any of your guys stream? I'd enjoy watching some Robo action!

Awesome scoring there Russ. Got the dedication and skills

 

[big10p]

Epic score. Congrats. I haven't even made it to half a mil, yet.

Still bloody love playing the game, though.

P.S. think you may need to turn down the screen voltage/brightness on your monitor.

 

[Russ J]

cheers guys,tbh majority of the game was just a blur,I noticed my score at just under 3mill and thought I'm not far off my high score,next thing I'd beat it and coming up to 4mill

After that 5mill came and went then 6,7,8...f'ing' hell I'm not far off wave 256..that came and went,I must admit there were a hell of a lot of spawney moments,a lot of luck was definitely on my side just wished I'd had my camcorder recording the game

.....one thing that pissed me was getting it back up to wave 99 and losing the game

...so close to rapping the waves again at 99 and close to 11mill

 

[Fuzzy]

Holy ****! How did I miss this thread?!

Fantastic score, Russ, you've completely mastered this now!
