9 Dec 2019 5:47		Fun set, this was the first game i ever had as a kid in the eighties. A shame that everything can be done in gametype one. Made it a bit on the easy side. And imho 4 pacifist cheevos is a bit much.
8 Jan 2020 0:34		That was a lot of fun. Short and sweet. Thank you.
25 Feb 2020 23:10		Thanks for building this one. It was fun
22 Mar 2020 4:29		Easy way to get the pacifist cheevos - just keep resetting until all the asteroids are moving in the same direction, then just stay away from them.
28 Mar 2020 0:00		Great classic! Very nice achievements, deividokop!
31 May 2020 6:20		mastered - very nice, very quick. a proper set. a ton easier if you never move
25 Sep 2020 10:39		Very fun set. Only complaint is that it seems strange that only game type 1 was used. Otherwise felt perfect. Mastered.
26 Sep 2020 17:53		Score reset still not working, I've tried many times, all without savestates and it doesn't pop up. I'd like to master it.
2 Nov 2020 22:55		Mastered!
12 Feb 2021 1:31		Mastered!
2 Mar 2021 0:43		One more atari classic mastered.
6 Apr 2021 15:19		Mastered (#5)
16 Apr 2021 21:00		I think I found a bug with the 'Single Life' leaderboard. The 'Single Life' leaderboard attempt starts fine, but when loosing my first life I get 'single life leaderboard attempt cancelled.'
16 Apr 2021 21:00		If I keep playing that same round until I loose my last life...the regular Multi-life leaderboard submits fine. Any help is appreciated. Using RA v.1.9.1 ROM hash is matching. Tested with newest 'Stella' & newest 'Stella 2014' cores
17 Jun 2021 19:44		Hello, you need to play the following ROM:https://retroachievements.org/viewtopic.php?t=6190&c=30987#30987
25 Jun 2021 23:37		Mastered. That was a fun little set. Thanks deividokop!
14 Jul 2021 13:06		how do you reset score? I press start but the achiev dont trigger
14 Jul 2021 13:31		Reset Score or Reset Progress?
26 Jul 2021 2:59		It's not the best wording. Resetting your score means having the score roll over. After you get the maximum score, it goes back to 0, thus resetting it.
29 Aug 2021 17:09		Mastered! Short, sweet and pretty easy.
