Scores from Robotron (along with Joust, Defender, and Stargate) are really
not worth mentioning unless you know at which difficulty level you were
playing. Robotron difficulty ranges from Level 0 ("Extra Liberal") to
Level 10 ("Extra Conservative"). Level 5 ("Recommended") is the usual setting
of arcade machines.
As an example of how the difficulty increases, I used to be able to get
EITHER 1.2 million on Level 7 or 2.5 million on Level 5. Level 10 is
definitely *much* tougher than Level 5.
Our current high score (Level *10*, 25000 per man) is 4,236,000. The all-time
record (Level 5, I strongly believe) is somewhere in the HUNDRED millions (I
can look this up if anyone wants - there used to be a high score table in
one of the game magazines).
