S.BAZ Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 ... I've noticed my final score disappearing before I could take a photo a few times before. Anyone else encountering that? only thing I've seen like that is that it changes colors & sometimes the score is close to the same color as the background. so I had some bad pictures because of that. but if you wait for a bit it should be more legible, unless you're encountering something different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) No, it would make a lot of noise (maybe when time has expired) and go immediately to 00. That's weird. Only thing I can imagine, apart from a glitch, is that you kept firing after losing, thus triggering a new game somehow. I had the same problem in the beginning. I just didn't realize I'm already dead again... I let go of everything as soon as it makes a lot of noise :-). Another piece of information that may be interesting: I've tried to run into beacons to test if they count as destroyed when that happens. Don't try. It doesn't count. You HAVE to shoot them. I tried this because at higher levels, you get extra lives so fast that it would have been a worthwhile strategy to get beacons you missed. 12 lives don't help you when time runs out...

Northcoastgamer Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 233,250. Does seem stingy at times with the beacons appearing. Some games they are plentiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+craftsmanMIKE Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'm feelin the hand cramp here too!!! Thinking tonite i'm gonna try the AMIGA POWER STICK, or maybe the converted NES Advantage arcade style joystick? It took some getting used to, but i'm liking the feel of speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+craftsmanMIKE Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 As far as the game over scene, it flashes, makes noise, and you can no longer move your crosshairs. Mine will reset with the fire button, so whenever I see the flash/noise, I glance at the score board. If it's game over, you see your final score. If its a level advancement, you see NEXAR-## whatever level your going to now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoyx Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 This has been played before. We are doing way better. They were playing game 1, which is easier. Some nice tips given, so worth a visit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vocelli Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Actually quite a good game. It ramps up quickly at level 9 or so! Vocelli: 127450 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+craftsmanMIKE Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 This is my "Budget Basement" stand up arcade. I plan to build a cabinet this winter to play Atari and PS1 games like a stand-up coin-op. The more I play this game the more it feels like an "ARCADE" game. Anyway, my first rip using the "advantage" joystick got me to 15000 even. Then I gave the "command control" a spin and ended up with 15850 my best so far. Either set-up, arcade type joystick, or trac-ball may not triple your score but they added a ton of FUN to the game for me.- 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss 2600 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 OK, kept my thumb away from the orange button (to me, it's not red) during the final death so I could record my score, and did much better! 78,550 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+craftsmanMIKE Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Up to 18750 on the "Budgacade" using the trac-ball, havin a blast!! Hope to top this till the end, if not i'll post a pic later. Wouldn't have given this game five min if not for HSC, now after a good few tries, on my top ten list for sure!! Just real "arcade" challenge feel.?? Maybe it's time to slow up on the Natty lights??? Either way it's FUN!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyx Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Is that a Wico trac-ball? Up to 18750 on the "Budgacade" using the trac-ball, havin a blast!!
