patbb Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Wow! I got some catching up to do...I've never played this game past the first couple of levels until today. 204600 I played a lot in the arcade. This is a really good port. I also played this version a lot back then! I just don't remember where to place my ship during the chance stages ... except for the 2 first one. Also, I don't know exactly what killed me at level 20 but I lost 4 lives in about 20 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncantoml Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I thought I was going to beat my best but lost 6 ships on the last round to Earth. Had to settle for 285,400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Smiley Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) 93300 Yay Gyruss, my first try today Fortunately I still have vacation next week so a lot of time to practice @duncantoml: 285k is awesome! Is it allowed to use another controller like the MegaDrive? My hand starts to hurt with the Coleco controller at 50k points Edited January 2, 2011 by Mr.Smiley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) 227,900 A definite destroyer of joystick fire-buttons... can we get Daniel to hack this one and add an auto-fire feature! One of the BEST ColecoVision titles. Edited January 7, 2011 by NIAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwalla Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Haven't played this in a while. Grew up with the c64 version and this one plays good, a tad fast, but the Coleco controller works perfectly with it. 109,300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerG Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Had a good game (for me :-) = 139,300 I get in the zone on this game and do well and then when I lose a ship and go back to one bullet I end up losing three ships in a row quickly.

+Yurkie Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I don't care for this game. Seems a matter of shooting really fast and memorizing locations to shoot from. I'll take my 1 point for participation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
