+DamonicFury Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Nice score, tank! Welcome aboard! Here's some tips for the rest of you. 1. Avoid the flashing martini glass on level 5. 2. Avoid going left right away on level 7 ... a mutant will appear rignt on top of you! 3. Hit the # key to activate the lift on level 8. 4. To practice a paticular level that's giving you trouble, hold down Fire and press 2, 1, 3, 7, 8, 2, 6, 8, 6, 1 (Big Five's old phone #) Then, press the # of the level you want to warp to (0 = level 10) (This tip found here .) I'll post some scores soon when my smartphone finally gets back from the repair shop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zylon Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Don't forget the Round 2 poll is open. Zero views or votes so far, but the week is young yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Don't forget the Round 2 poll is open. Zero views or votes so far, but the week is young yet. I checked it yesterday and there was 1 vote, and I put mine in, that added a 2nd... how could it be zero? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 On the name high score screen, what do you press to complete it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 On the name high score screen, what do you press to complete it? I think it's the secondary (non-jump) button. That's also the button used to trigger the warp in the tip I gave above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Yeah, thats the problem with playing via emulator, I don't know where all the buttons and keys are mapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Doing better... 80,705 It was brought to my attention that my tip about how to jump to different stations was a bit unclear. Here it is again, in a bit easier-to-follow format: 1. Start the game. 2. Climb up the first ladder halfway (or just go any safe place where the mutants can't get you.) 3. Hold down the jump button and enter the phone number on the keypad (2, 1, 3, 7, 8, 2, 6, 8, 6, 1) 4. Release the jump button. 5. Hold down the secondary (non-jump button.) 6. Hit the number of the button of the station you want to jump to. Once you've done this, you can do it again whenever you want until you shut the system down. It probably goes without saying that you shouldn't post any scores you get using this trick... it's for practice only.

+DamonicFury Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Just had easily my best run ever at this game... 134,920 Got to Zone 3, Station 7, where I lost three lives at once. Station 7 is always rough, but my pattern on it was interrupted by the faster mutant near teleporter #2 ... have to learn to compensate for that! Tank, you've really been pushing me to up my game at this old favorite! Thank you for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
