karokoenig Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Love this game! My favourite shooter from my childhood, together with Return of the Jedi Death Star Battle! I am not especially good at it, though :-). Looking forward to the new season. It starts with a fun game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vocelli Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 I have the cart, one question if we have the game for hsc on the harmony cart can it be used or is it stricly carts only. Harmony Cart is fine just as long as there is not a difference in game play. So shoot away. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Thanks for adding that to the original post. What happens if you achieve "rollage"? Is that the highest score you will accept? Edited March 1, 2014 by Atarian7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LidLikesIntellivision Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 This HSC I'm going to do some test with all the games on Javatari, a new emulator for Atari. It's webpage is here: http://javatari.org/ For Phoenix, everything went very well. But when I was to configure the fire button, I couldn't set it to the Control key. I had put it elsewhere (z key). I don't like the default space bar, it is too big and not good for fast firing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitanClassic Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) First attempt at the HSC. I actually own a copy of Phoenix, and a Flashback 2, but I haven't modified the system to accept carts. So Stella 3.9.3 it is. Didn't realize you can shield in the game, off to read the manual Shields really help. Slight Improvement. Had to shrink the size of the snapshot using paint, since i didn't like having to use google's preview snapshot (wrong aspect ratio). Need to look into Stella's options so I won't need to correct this in the future. Getting Better. 2014/03/02 Edited March 8, 2014 by CapitanClassic 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorfy Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Welcome iast and CaptainClassic!! Good to have new blood! Regarding the shield, I rarely use it. Too often I get stuck under a barrage of missiles; as soon as the shield wears off, BAM! But there are others who make good strategic use of the shields, so it's a matter of preference. Tip for shooting the mothership: First, go to the far left edge and start shooting away to break down the blue layer as much as possible; Then go to the middle and shoot your way through, ducking missiles as you go. This way you spend limited amount of time in the middle under heavy fire 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Stan, Nikon: that was then. Let's not start the new season with warming up old stories. As far as I can see, measures have been taken and last season we had clean competition. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
