Deteacher Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) The player's ship flies over a horizontally scrolling planet surface, protecting friendly humanoids from alien abduction. Destroying all enemies advances you to the next wave. Loss of all humanoids destroys the planet until it is reinstated every fifth wave. The stargate itself can be flown into by the player. If a humanoid is being abducted, the player is taken to the area of the abduction. If the player has 4 or more humanoids attached to their ship, the player is Warped forward three waves. Otherwise, the stargate transports the player to the other side of the planet. Waves 5, 15, 25 etc. are Yllabian Dogfight waves, where the player is in space (no planet or humanoids) against an Armada of Yllabian Space Guppies. Waves 10, 20 30 etc. are Firebomber Showdown waves. A special 2000 point bonus can be gained by simultaneously catching and dropping off a falling humanoid as the last event in a wave once all the enemies have been destroyed.

Lauren Tyler Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 5,545 I never could get used to the control scheme for this. I always preferred the simplified versions on consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.A.M.E Offender Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Couldn't it have been Defender? I'm better at that HAHA. Me too! I have played many games and have been able to get 200k on Defender!! I have not spent any time on Stargate so I won't be anywhere near 200k. Nevertheless I am happy to see it as our game this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 Score table updated. I played a few games, myself. I've never been very good at Defender/Stargate simply because of the controls. I'll be posting next week's game this evening because I'm going away for all of next week. What's worse is that where I'm going, there's no internet. I might be able to check in on you guys through my iPhone, but that's about it. So, keep an eye out tonight for next week's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 So, a planned one-week trip to Northern Maine turned into 2 weeks, unexpectedly. Got back home late last night and just got caught up on much needed house/yard work. I had no internet access for 2 weeks and I thought I was going to lose my mind. My apologies, but it was unavoidable. My mother is trying to sell the house and working up there was like being on an episode of "Hoarders." Closing this week out and getting the new game up right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
