zylon Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) No "8-Ball" assist then? Edited October 19, 2010 by zylon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariksi Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 No "8-Ball" assist then? No 8-ball pool in River Raid. Here's my score for now. Those tight curves definitely better surpassed with a digital joystick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zylon Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 2nd attempt: 35,580 BTW: that's not the kind of 8-ball I was referring to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divya16 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 2nd attempt: 35,580 BTW: that's not the kind of 8-ball I was referring to Is bridge 12 only do-able from left side; it seems hard from right side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Except for one early bridge, I attack each one from the right side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divya16 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Except for one early bridge, I attack each one from the right side. I have been losing men on bridge 12 so I will next try from left side; yeah, all others I do try from right side when there's a fork in the river. There are two forks in the river in bridge 12 so it may be right and then left. Too bad there's no waterfall feature in this game. At least I haven't seen it yet. Perhaps, 1982VideoGames who got past 40K knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Haven't found any waterfalls yet. 49,750 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divya16 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Haven't found any waterfalls yet. 49,750 Okay, bridge 12 depends on whether the helicopter moves or not. If it doesn't move, it's hard to pass coming from the right side. Otherwise, coming from left side is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Bridge 5 is the only one I've had consistent trouble with from the right. From the left, it's a piece of cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariksi Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Bridge 5 is the only one I've had consistent trouble with from the right. From the left, it's a piece of cake. Bridge 16 looks like another one where left side may be better. It looks like you are getting a bigger score per bridge. Anyway, here's my scores using Wico and PC joystick interface. Next I will play with digital joystick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 There is a small trick to efficient river raiding. I'm using stock cx52 with 1980's buttons and rev 8 flexi. It's ultra responsive on this title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ultra responsive on this title. I guess those were two independent points, because I can shoot down all the items if I go really slow and be careful. Here's my latest score and my first bridge score. I shot down everything and I'm not using A5200 stock controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my latest score and my first bridge score. I shot down everything and I'm not using A5200 stock controller. Yes. They were. There's at least 2k points available on each bridge. Best I've got on 1st one was 2140 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atariron82 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I never have gotten past 10K in this game until now. Breaking 50K should be quite the challenge. Nimble movements coupled with laser-like concentration, may be half the strategy. Picking up the rear: 21,320; bridge 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) Still Raiding: 57,610 I've also given the A8 version a play last night and results were not pretty. This is one of the few games that truly benefits from the cx52 controller IMO. I've found the "non-centering" extremely helpful.
