Stan Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Okay, someone tell me, can there be a score more annoying than THIS... 2,995 This game gets WAY fast as you get further. I can't possibly see even breaking 3500, let alone 5000. Too damn fast. I found a new tactic that works like a charm, read my revised tips above.

Stan Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) Yeah, couldn't go to bed with that hanging over me. Suck it bitch. Freaking trigger finger is HURTING after that. Only took another try, I'm getting the hang of it, but man, this game moves too fast later on. 3,215 Edited September 8, 2011 by Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TwentySixHundred Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the welcome Gorfy Yeah this game is a tricky one ,takes time to build up the bonus so i find myself loosing concentration at times. Anyway all i got in me at the moment is 2180 The picture worked ,i was saving it as bmp format before that was not displaying it. This time i done what disjaukifa said and saved it as jpeg thanks Edited September 8, 2011 by Tony The 2600 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway all i got in me at the moment is 2180 Good first score Tony. I hope I can break 5000 and it feels more possible after yesterday, but it gets SO fast around 3000.

JacobZu7zu7 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I was in the ZONE...! 6,490 I found I hit more satilites if I stay away from the very middle of the screen. Sometimes losing a life is good, because it skips over "complicated" satillite droppings! Just gotta keep collecting bonus lives. I think I missed 2 or 3 though... In the bonus game, I shoot the top ship first and not the bottom, I dunno if that's right, but it works best for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjaukifa Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I honestly think I'm going to go play some Mr. Do!'s Castle . . . 2 hours of play . . . highest score 1470 . . . I hate paddles Ok I just played again, and I got the SAME SCORE, 1470 . . . . grr, 3000, I'm going to own you tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjaukifa Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 2605!!! Stan was right, you have to button mash that thing to oblivion!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I found I hit more satilites if I stay away from the very middle of the screen. Crazy score man! Yeah, you know, I did notice that the satellites, I think, always rebound off of the left wall first, so if you were slightly left of center you'd always hit them if you were blasting away enough.

Stan Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Stan was right, you have to button mash that thing to oblivion!!! It's actually harder than that too. I would occasionally fall into the trap of the right hand wanting to move the ship fast to match the speed of my left, but you need to carefully move the knob while keeping the fire button flying. It's very odd at first because one hand is slower than the other, but when you get the hang of it you should be able to easily bypass 3000.

+TwentySixHundred Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Thanks Stan. My aim is to hit the 3000 and was just shy of it at 2815 tough but starting to get the hang of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you know, I did notice that the satellites, I think, always rebound off of the left wall first, so if you were slightly left of center you'd always hit them if you were blasting away enough. Thanks Stan-man. I made the second bonus ! Congrads on reaching the first. This game is tough... never know what might happen. A good game could turn bad, or vise versa... I like to blast away as you Stan, but only after the game speeds around 2ks and up. I also try to target the satellites, as they can make or break the power meter. Thank you for that tip. Having a blast (literally), compared to the sluggish Mr. Do's Castle last week... lol. I see Tony and disjau are getting closer to the first bonus.

Yeah I'm getting close . . . but I am SOOO far away at the same time. I'm goign to break 3000, not sure about 5k, but 3k will be done . . .

Jifremok Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I'll be sitting this one out. I don't have a copy of this, and I can't play paddle games on an emulator. A shame, since this one looks like a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Tyler Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 755 YUK! That's the problem with the best known third party developers of the Atari 2600: For every few good games they churn out, they churn out a lousy one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Freaking hell, Gorf, is that even necessary?!!! Probably...........The first time this game was played in the HSC, someone broke 10k. With guys like you competing, somebody's likely to break 10k this time around as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amstari Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 1220! This has been my first season of the HSC and I've really enjoyed it. I may not have gotten any high scores but it has been a great way to discover games I haven't played before. I'll be back next season!
