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.

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.

i had a go at it today:

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 ;-)

Trak-ball control would be a cool option. To answer your question, the original arcade cab was joystick controlled though.
