jblenkle Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks for the tips...I was unsure how to use this stuff.... Dropzone - 6,230 See the bottom right of your picture... see the three unused and devastating Strata Bombs (space bar)...see the invincibility cloak (any other key)... see your score increase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 I've found a bug in Dropzone... and not the sort you can shoot... a couple of times I've been doing quite well, but after getting killed (perhaps near the end of a level) the level is empty- the NMeye repeatedly comes on - I've got no men to rescue and either nothing or just a single cloud to shoot... maybe it thinks I was still carrying the last man, perhaps I died when he was in the tube (it is possible to do that) and it gets in a mess and bye bye go Vote for round 2 [managed to beat the 1m again, had a strategy of going easy on the Strata bombs but this didn't leave many lives so I only just beat my score 1,089,250 yes the pressure got to me and I went to pieces it's their haunting little cries for help that make me fly too fast ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikor Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Time to increase my score. Now it is 183 560 points. Maybe will be more next day Edited February 9, 2012 by Sikor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallout_002 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Great game! This is the first time I've heard of "Dropzone". Reminds me a bit of Stargate, but more dynamic and fluid. My score: 176,400 Edited February 10, 2012 by Fallout_002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikor Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I have monitor defect, so, maybe next game will be better. I don't like play on emulator... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Just finished my final grueling DZ session, made at least 1,100,000 (I was entering my initials but the game just restarted... and the score disappeared, 2nd time this has happened perhaps I was too slow )... Nice score McKong knew you'd get there Still a few hours left to Vote for Round 2 though I'm already cueing up the Bonnie Tyler classic :-o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariron82 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I finally broke 10k to make the scoreboard It plays like a cross between Wing War and Defender, neither of which are any good with just a keyboard. The 'gravity bit' is hard to master with arrow keys, and progress is slow. I'd like to get the cartridge of this, slap it in the XEGS, and have a go with my TAC-2. Until then, I think reaching 30k might be a realistic goal... 11,240 Start saving for that APE cable didn't realise you were a keyboard player do you have a disk drive or have you got lots of carts ? It's a tricky game for keyboard - remember everyone you can use autofire but would be capped at 25K max score Yeah, it's just keyboard play for me using 800Win, since my usb-joystick died. I have a few dozen carts(slowly growing!) for my 800xl and XEGS. My 1050 drive powers up, but I really haven't been able to test it, since I don't have any Atari software yet, or blank floppys to format . WoW, I can't really identify with the stratospheric scoring in this game I'm working to just get past level 3 for the moment... 18,940 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
