Activision patch project

So here's a new project I'm going to work on. Back in the day Activision used to give away patches for good players. To earn them you would have to get a certain amount of points or complete some special task. I know they gave away patches for Intellivision and 5200, but right now I'm going to stick with 2600 for now because I don't have the games for those other systems. So here's the games and the goals.


1. Barnstorming - 33.3 seconds game 1/ 51 seconds game 2/ 54 seconds game 3
2. Beamrider - 60,000 & sector 20
3. Chopper Command - 10,000
4. Crackpots - 75,000
5. Decathlon:
Bronze - 8,600
Silver - 9,000
Gold - 10,000
6. Dolphin - 80,000
Society of Dolphins - 300,000
7. Dragster - 6.0 seconds
8. Enduro - survive 5 days
9. Freeway - 20 pts./game 3 or 7
10. Frostbite - 40,000 pts.
11. Grand Prix - 1:00 on game 2 / 1:30 on game 3 / 2:30 on game 4
12. H.E.R.O. - 75,000
13. Ice Hockey - beat the computer
14. Kaboom! - 3,000
15. Keystone Kapers - 35,000
16. Laser Blast - 100,000 pts / 1,000,000 pts
17. Megamania - 45,000
18. Oink! - 25,000
19. Pitfall! - 20,000
20. Pitfall II - 99,000
21. Plaque Attack - 35,000
22. Pressure Cooker - 45,000
23. Private Eye - solve case 3
24. River Raid - 15,000
25. Robot Tank:
4 squadrons/48 tanks
5 squadrons/60 tanks
6 squadrons/72 tanks
25. Seaquest - 50,000
26. Skiing - 28.2 seconds/game 3
27. Sky Jinks - 37 seconds/game 1
28. Space Shuttle:
4 or 5 missions with 4500 (pilot)
6 missions with 7500 (commander)
29. Spider Fighter - 40,000
30. Stampede - 3,000
31. Starmaster:
3,800 pts/game 1 (order of the supreme starmaster)
5,700 pts/game 2 (leader)
7,600 pts/game 3 (wing commander)
9,000 pts/game 4 (starmaster)
32. Tennis - win one set vs. computer

Some of these seem pretty easy, but others are quite difficult. I want to see how many of these I can finish. The instructions don't say anything about the difficulty level, so I will probably play them with whatever level I feel comfortable. I guess it was too hard to tell what difficulty the players were using when they just sent in pictures of their screen. So that is the task. I want to see if I would've been able to make the nerdiest Atari jacket in the world.
