I have to reiterate, after trying to play Toobin' last night, getting through all the gates cleanly is the most ridiculous thing anybody's said here.
Every game has a score now. The current deadline for this thread is Sunday morning unless another score gets posted.

There's a shield instead of hyperspace and triangular things that chase your ship. Everything is harder and faster than the original. If you don't want to play it, then try to get through all the gates cleanly on Toobin

What he said...! The deluxe version was Atari's answer to people who would protect one tiny asteroid, play for hours (or even days in some cases), and rack up huge points. This is MUCH harder to do in ASTEROIDS DELUXE (although the original is still the best, IMHO).
By the way, what the heck was the marketing department thinking with that DARIUS flyer???

Yeah, the deadline is tomorrow afternoon; 72 hours after your last Superman score. I was hoping you'd forget and we'd play Hangman I'm not reminding anybody to pick games anymore. If someone forgets to pick we go with whatever was last chosen.
