Bad news folks... Score over 100k and it wraps around #-o Lazy programming! It might be terminal in the sense that it uses BCD for the score that are returned as two bytes in 0xA00 (MSB) 0xA01 (LSB) I think it would be very involved to add a third pair of digits, unfortunately.

Code:

700 I%=?&A01:J%=?&A00:O%=I%DIV16*1000+I%MOD16*100+J%DIV16*10+J%MOD16:MODE7:C%=1:FORI%=16TO0STEP-4:IFO%>R%!I%C%=I%
I got 95k then managed to get over 110k and made the discovery :shock: the difficulty goes up quite a bit in the sense that the smoke only stops the enemy vehicles for a few seconds and they're on you like cops with GTA 5-star wanted level. :lol: Far more boulders and only one path through the maze (I think the maze is fixed)
