Ze_ro Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Important Note: This weeks competition is over and no further scores will be accepted. The thousand galaxies quake at the news: the Cryptic Computer, the galactic defense synthesizer which has maintained peace for the five centuries since the Wars on Zevon, has malfunctioned! Four Failsafe Detonators inside the Computer will now initiate universal self-destruct! The Governors of Enderby order the Dante Dart into action. Only it can spiral down through the nearly impenetrable defenses of the Computer in order to reach and destroy the Detonators!

In case you don't have the manual, AtariAge has a typed copy available online. Unfortunately, the manual doesn't provide any specific hints.DeteacherI can offer one tip when you reach the 3rd tunnel. Push against the right edge as often as possible to go faster, but when a rocket comes out, DON'T shoot it. Let it fly off the screen. It's faster to skip the points and let it fly away. If you shoot it, you have to wait for the explosion to finish before the next obstacle appears.(Regarding the homing missiles) Hide in the "ditches." The missiles can't get you there. Once they fly by you, pop up, turn around and blast it! --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Tyler Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 22,187 I was _this_ close to picking up an energy refill... and I ran out just as I was about to touch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Whoo hoo! I'm back. I can't wait to dive into this one. It's one of my favorites! Is there a report of anyone actually making it to the 4th detonator? I read through the previous thread the last time the game was played and it seems extremely difficult at best. Then, over at DP, it states that there is no 4th detonator at all (the game just ends.) Can anyone verify if this is the case? I can offer one tip when you reach the 3rd tunnel. Push against the right edge as often as possible to go faster, but when a rocket comes out, DON'T shoot it. Let it fly off the screen. It's faster to skip the points and let it fly away. If you shoot it, you have to wait for the explosion to finish before the next obstacle appears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
