Made it to Level 3...! fast enough!? I cannot get beyond that point...
The shield could be a bit stronger then it is.

With the directional pad that I'm using, it's sometimes luck getting thorugh the trap walls
scrolling up/down 3 in a row. Hard to get the right ship speed/angle.

slight improvement:  46,204

I often get the second detonator, but I'm too shield-depleted by that point to go much further

I missed the last few rounds. I thought i'd throw up a score and try to get 1 or 2 points.

Don't say it too loud, you can wake up the knocked out players and I'm trying to improve my rank position... :-D

Just joking, welcome back. :thumbsup:

Chuckles, second after I posted that 8,375 I played one more game and for the first time ever, got to a Detonator!!!!

Even better, got the 6k-ish for it :)

New score (still at bottom, but better)

I just broke the TG record for this game: 85,006!

Laser Gates (1983) (Imagic).png

I may have to hook up the ol' VCR and record a game or two to send in.  :)

I'm starting to think there may actually be a 4th detonator.  Maybe a possible way to reach it would be to enter the 4th level with full shields and as you get close to the end, run into a bunch of crap.  Sacrificing your shields (and points) might bring up the 4th detonator.  Just a hunch...I may have to try that.

You could try that tatic and possibly others before the 4th detonator!
Tip: you can pass two close flashing gates at once after the 3rd detonator.
Tip: as said in the past weekend, one can shoot the lower part of the walls and open a wide path at once.
Last resource: when Dtime is ending, don't lose time taking the energy tank, shoot it before...
Not very good tips, but if I come up with something, I'll tell you. ;)

Try every tatic you can imagine (even shooting energy tanks) before the 1st detonator and verify (take a chronometer) what is the fastest way. I'm not sure, e.g. if letting the homming misseles pass is faster.

If there's a 4th detonator, I hope you blast it. Good luck!

Finally cracked that second one, but wasn't quite prepared for the speed of the third round.

Sadly, there is still no 2600 ref at TG.  I have like 6 tapes of stuff to give them.

New personal best for me on this game.

Is there anyone savvy enough to hack the game and disable the guages (Infinite energy, shields and  D-Time?)  Then we'd know for sure if there was a 4th detonator. :)
