Deteacher Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) Using three atomic missile launching bases you defend your cities against incoming missiles. Enemy missiles may seperate into several missiles so shoot them down early because you only have a limited number of missiles.

Deteacher Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) When I fired up MC for the first time, the dipswitch settings had it set at 7 starting cities and a bonus every 10K, so please make sure your game is set that way. The way I figure, the game gets tough enough pretty quick, so enjoy having that extra city in the bank. Have fun! P.S. A scoring error was brought to my attention from Saint Dragon. I made the corrections and adjusted the leaderboard point totals for those that the error affected. About 5 or 6 of you actually had a point added to your total, so you notice you have another point, that's why.

Cynicaster Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) 54,250 I was hoping this game would come up here eventually, as I haven't played it in a while. Not an INP of the above score, but here's a vid of a 45,000 run I submitted to scoreground.com back in February. Apologies in advance for the lame ass music; I had tunes playing in the background in the video, so YouTube's nazi copyright filters stripped off the audio. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuQhbVu65bk Edited August 14, 2013 by Cynicaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asponge Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) 12,430 I think that's about as good as I'm going to get before the deadline. Edited August 15, 2013 by asponge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kane Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 At what point does the difficulty max out on this game, does anyone know? I know a lot of people can marathon it. 43,715 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
