Scramble.
Season 2, Week 5 of Score Chasing begins Saturday, October 14, 2023 at 12:00:01 PST (GMT-8) featuring Joust, the arcade version. This article will tell you everything you need to know about how to join our group and play.
PLEASE NOTE: this score chasing event is for adults, age 18 and older, so if you aren’t yet 18, then please return when you are.
First, let’s learn more about Scramble (Arcade). How is the game played, via Arcade-Museum:
Player controls a spaceship that must infiltrate the enemy Scramble system in this side-view shooter/bomber classic. Player must destroy the Base at the end of the system. In the STERN version, the enemy base is much harder to destroy than the Konami version but at least in the STERN version, if you lose a base while destroying the enemy base, you do not lose the life and the game starts you back at the system beginning.
At the top of this post, you’ll see a Scramble event promo image with a QR Code created by PGM member, Gamer_Nix. This will take you directly to the official PGM iScored Score Chasing Scoreboard at the spot where you will enter your score on Joust (Arcade). Where can you play? Here are a few suggestions (alphabetical order) but is not a complete list by any means:
- Arcade – yes, check your local area for barcaes, arcades, mallcades, etc. You might have an Asteroids Deluxe arcade machine nearby and play might still be a quarter!
- Steam/PC – Scramble (arcade) is part of this multigame collection – Anniversary Collection Arcade Collection (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1018000/Anniversary_Collection_Arcade_Classics/)
- Nintendo Switch – Arcade Archives: Scramble ($7.99, price varies, store link)
- PlayStation Arcade Archives: Scramble (Arcade) – store link
- Various Emulated / MAME / CoinOpsX / etc – emulated versions of Asteroids Deluxe (Arcade) are allowed, but we do not typically link to these sources
- Xbox – Scramble on Microsoft Xbox Marketplace store link)
Now that you have located where to play Scramble, simply start playing to establish your personal best score. The goal of score chasing is not a typical leaderboard high score, be the top score tournament. We simply want you to play and beat your personal best.
