karokoenig Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) This game is frustrating. Especially if you get blown up right before you reach 250k several times in a row. Getting into the 220-230k range easily, but then it gets mad. Believe it or not: Colony 7 (1BB): 233,200 249375 250,000. That spot landing happened after 1,5 hours of getting insanely close to the 3-bonus-number 7 or 8 times. I was on last life, one gun, one building and no smart bombs since 180k or so. I'd say nail-biting, but there's no time for that in this game. I'm sick of this excellent piece of software for the next few days, though... Edit #1: Oh wait... Vocelli, you wrote "score OVER 250,000 points". You mean that? I have to play this again? Please tell me you made a typo there. Edit #2: Nevermind. New Score: 281,975.

karokoenig Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Some strategies that helped me: - Use the smart bombs wisely. Mainly just to avoid getting one of your guns killed in the first few levels. - Beginning at roughly level 5-6, start concentrating more on one side of the city. It's a bit like the survival strategy in hard variants of Missile Command. Defend a small area above one gun and a few buildings, forget about the rest. This lowers the bonus because the other side of the screen will soon be a wasteland, but you make so many points from the enemies in later levels, it doesn't matter that much. - In later levels, there's a lot of fast low-altitude carpet bombing going on. Anticipate those enemies early and get rid of them quick. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitanClassic Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 COLONY 7 - 339,300 Just wondering, is this Colony 7 PAL or Colony 7 NTSC? Both were included in the zip i downloaded from AtariAge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 i had a go at it today: 123800 i'm with you Larcen, I wish I could use a track ball for this. is the original a track-ball game? another question: what does"xS" mean on the screen where it tells you what each target is worth? nevermind I just figured it out, "squad" it's the level 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 154,600 i'm with you Larcen, I wish I could use a track ball for this. is the original a track-ball game? Trak-ball control would be a cool option. To answer your question, the original arcade cab was joystick controlled though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oyamafamily Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Just wondering, is this Colony 7 PAL or Colony 7 NTSC? Both were included in the zip i downloaded from AtariAge. I used NTSC version of Colony 7 for my submission. Normally I use the NTSC format to play 2600 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitanClassic Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 In the early game, work at killing the 25 * (squad) UFO guys. Don't kill the 100 point guys, they don't shoot. On the later levels, kill the 100 point guys. They seem to control whether the 100 * (squad) Smart Bombers and 500 * (squad) Upsidedown guys appear.
