        The winner for the one year anniversary is Phoenix

        What? How did this happen? Booo! last I looked Joust was in the lead by double! Oh well. I guess I will have to take a crack at this game again. . . Maybe someone wants to write a few tips about this game?

            @lilbud We all know you have a Phoenix cabinet in your bedroom that you've been training on for months. ;)

              @obsidianspider I wish I had a Phoenix cabinet, or a playable arcade cabinet. Mine is in storage while we renovate our basement

                      But well we should play with pants off and say if we used that ;)
                      Or maybe someone can upload the fixed anniversary version ;)

                        @meleu I looked at the investigation of that bug and it sounds like if you trigger it once you don't want to do it again, as triggering it a second time will reset back to 204,000. Is that right? SO, the trick would be to do it one time, then avoid it after that, so you can improve your score beyond 204k.

                            Yeah, that's exactly what I read. So my comment still stands: You really only want to trigger this once.

                                It's a bit unnecessary. Anyone posting a score greater than 200k is using that bug. If saying the contrary he/she is lying! :)

                                    Just for reference:

                                    • @UDb23 made a cool overlay for Phoenix (and posted about it here). You can install the overlay using the rpie-art tool.

                                    • the bug to get 200k on the 2nd stage can be learned here:

                                      And here is my first score: 219,145 (of course I took advantage of that bug).

                                        @meleu Well, it's game over for me. I suck at this game, and I can't bear looking at it. I'll keep it on my cabinet because it is apparently popular, but. . . Ahem. Great Score! WAY TO GO!

                                          @caver01 I think you need to go to the @lilbud school of gaming and rise from the ashes, like a Phoenix

                                            But, didn't I see his name next to the original Phoenix high score? I may take the War Games Joshua/Prof. Falken approach:
