jblenkle Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Gorf - 22,380 I used to play this one a lot at an athletic club I worked at back in the 80s. Can't hit that ship on the 4th screen to save my life though, especially the 2nd time through... Edited March 10, 2013 by jblenkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Hopefully this game is less buggy than the last two !!!!! That would be welcome! Tell you what, the HSC has really turned into a great vehicle for giving all these games the proper testing that they obviously didn't receive BITD due to the rush by their developers to release them. Cheers to all the HSC combatants! Keep the bug reports coming as they are being noted. Edited March 10, 2013 by NIAD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northcoastgamer Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 32,460 Nope, actually feel pretty good, considering the 50-60 hour weeks lately. That was a quick game earlier to get on the board. But, I'll be the first to admit, never was much of a GORF fan. I fully intend to improve between now and the 23rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblenkle Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Gorf - 33,350 Ack! That ship drops bombs like crazy on the Space General level...I can barely even hit the ship I'm too busy blasting bombs to stay alive. I'm wondering if this game has a bug too...on the 4th screen with the Gorfian flagship, you can shoot so many holes in the ship that sometimes your shots pass right through it. Makes it kind of hard to blow it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoDan Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I have hit that ship so many times before that it is just a flashing middle flying around the screen. You can definately blow a hole in it and have your shots go through. In case you don't know you have to hit directly in the center of that flashing middle and it blows up, everything else on that ship is just gravy. I think when I was trying for accuracy my best was shooting the ship 4 times before I blew it up. So aim for that special spot just like on zaxxon and you are golden.

Our first reported videogame related injury in the HSC... I'm surprised it took this long. Hey Ikrananka, is Joe's little boo-boo worthy of Workman's Comp benefits/coverage or should we just kick him to the curb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikrananka Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Our first reported videogame related injury in the HSC... I'm surprised it took this long. Hey Ikrananka, is Joe's little boo-boo worthy of Workman's Comp benefits/coverage or should we just kick him to the curb? I haven't received any Worker's Comp insurance payments from Joe and so he's out of luck Joe, you really should have thought this through. Taking on such a dangerous task to be Gorf high score champion without adequate training and insurance. Well, I'm sorry but you're going to have to buy your own sticking plasters!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
