jblenkle Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Sorry for my lack of participation lately...my main computer went down May 1 and I had to rob my second computer of parts just to get it back working again. Since then I've lost a hard disk and a video card and am waiting on a few items before both are fully functional again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBubble Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 15,280 Megamania was one of my favorites from my 2600 days, so I don't think my muscle memory was able to get past the 5200 controllers. I spent three sessions (30-60min each) and got better and better, but just couldn't get past the dumb mistakes. I do think it's a wonderful game, however, and it has that perfect amount of frustration and "I can do just a BIT better next time!" that has me going for the reset button. Part of the fun for me was finding my old Ken Uston book in storage from 1983 which talked about strategy in this game-- he recommends on levels 2, 4 etc to shoot out the middle to create a safe area (had I known this earlier it would have helped-- I kept running out of energy on those types of levels). Someday I'll have digital joysticks! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
