Beamrider (C64) Highscore Challenge – 3rd system

After playing the wickedly hard Atari 2600 version and the Intellivision port I tried the game on the c64 which is the native platform I played this game on the first moment I laid eyes on it. For me this is the version I am best at – I use the Suzo Arcade Stick which is an excellent stick for this game on the C64.

I dare you to beat my highscore on the C64 port of the game ‘Beamrider’ if you can please try to make a video response and reply to this video!

Beamrider is a game by Activision and it has also been ported to other platforms like the Colecovision, Intellivision, Atari 8 bit, Commodore 64. The scoring seems to be the same on the other platforms, yet the difficulty seems to be a little different so scores may not be comparable across the various systems.

Recorded off the computer through a composite video lead with Archos 605 Media recorder – zoomed in every so slightly to accommodate the widescreen format but with the correct aspect ratio. If you do a video response real hardware or emulation is fine.

I will ask Interghost to put this C64 challenge video on his Retro Records blog. You can find that great initiative for competitive arcade high scores here:
