Hey.
Get out your Christmas in Motherfuckin' July gear.
Start HighScoreAttacking Santatlantean.
The top bunch of people will earn the right to buy a goony white prototypey card that happens to have Santatlantean on it.
It's nothing fancy, but this seems like the fairest way to do it.
Ask Desh to show you what one looks like. He's got one, since he showed up to CCAG again, and was the grandmaster Atlantean dude the last time.
Awww.
Yeah.
These really are not fancy cards. Just white plastic, no label, no case, no manual little guys hanging out with the ROM on it.
\o/
I don't have a flash cart, can emulator scores work on the honor system or am I just out of luck?
Awww yiss! Prototype rarez. Certainly you could flip on ebay for 3,727,283,228.

I am certainly rusty but, I had my first go with the prototype this morning. I'm confident I can hit 1 million if I have time to sit and play it tonight.
emulators work.
Desh is obviously exempt from being able to buy a second one if he kicks everyone's ass again. lol
Since Ark didn't post a link:

46,585 is my best so far.
Gonna try this out... because as people here probably know, a homebrew/translation is worth nothing if you don't have a shiny, overpriced and unauthorized reproduction to place on your shelf!
46XXX is my highest score too Jibbajabba... not even close to desh's haha.

If you need a link for it, you probably dum.
lol
Here is my first foray into Santatlantean, I used the Magic Engine emulator. I should look into an Everdrive me thinks, give it a whirl on actual hardware.....

Sorry for huge pic, my normal place I use seems to be down at the moment. Can't wait for my Atlantean cart so figured I would join in here for now. :)

Nice Necro. My last run was about half that at 150k. Going to try again later to at least break 200k. It's fun and kind of easy if you just take your time, but racking up a score takes quite awhile

My old high score nemesis joins the battle.
Put in a few more hours today with Santatlantean. I am getting better but not up to NecroPhile or Desh yet, but close.

My hands are cramping so I am done for now. Atlantean tonight though after my GF goes to bed.

that's my best for now.
I gave it a few more tries today. I got humbled on my first two tries then got it together on the third.

After many attempts here's my best score so far...

My score is lame compared to others but I did my best. lol

Getting a little better each time I play it. Hoping to maybe break 300k next time around. I take my time, so it gets pretty tedious, but I still love it! Maybe with all this practice I'll be better at Atlantean next time I give it a go.

Tooch, the key to the shark is to draw him to the top of the screen and then you can dodge him low when he charges.
P.S. nice score! You probably play a lot like I do slow scroll and take your time. Don't be afraid to use bombs if you get caught in a shit storm or are about to be hit by a bullet(s).

You shouldn't give away spoilers openly, man. Some guys want to figure it out on their own.

Meh, there are still other strategies you can use to beat the shark. Just because I mentioned the way that works best for me doesn't guarantee victory.
Victoly achieved
I enjoy watching people get fucking wrecked by the shark when they play the game.
It makes me laugh.
