+therealbountybob Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 1st go at Rocket Rescue ... Looks like you pick up 5 guys if you crash it's 3 then 1 then you are returned to the base so perhaps there's a maximum score of 20? 5menx4levels? I've still not improved but I really like the style of the game. Rocket Man 32,400 (level 6). Rocket Repairman 7,065 (level 2) you don't get any a new space-suit on level 2, how mean is that?!

McKong Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 These are three very playable games. I think repairman would have been better if the dudes flight was slightly quicker and the suit was replenished for the second level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think repairman would have been better if the dudes flight was slightly quicker and the suit was replenished for the second level. If I ever get Ramp Rage finished I might see if I can disassemble the machine code in the Rocket Man program and make a few changes (it's in BASIC with some m/c code) - it needs a small sound adding to let you know you've got the crystals - annoying when you turn and have missed one, plus stop the letters randomly appearing in the same location where you are standing - you could just stand still and wait (not that we would do that here of course!). Rocket Rescue is in Turbo BASIC so anyone can press break and LIST the program - Jan might be open to suggestions too? Rocket Man I'd suspect the 2nd level is it and that's why it's so hard - would be interesting to see if we can beat it - bonus points on standby S Games Poll OPEN - remember this round and the poll close Thursday morning please vote EVERYONE and remember it's a multi-poll so vote for as many of the choices as you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Rocket Rescue Just blew it with the 5 men on Mission 3 when going for the fuel (should have just headed back to base) made it with the 3 though so improved to 13 saved 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Rocket Man Level 7 32,900 Rocket Rescue - this time I took the guys home on Mission 3 without getting the fuel so I was then short for Level 4 but I still completed this having to collect the fuel on the way, but on Mission 5 I was down to vapours and crashed getting the fuel. You need to get a fuel on your way back from each mission. I thought there were only 4 missions so wonder how many there are... I think Jan made the little alien easier on Mission 3 so the game (v1.5) is now much more playable than before 20 Saved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atariron82 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Nice little collection of some super tough rocket games. Try though I did, I couldn't save one single soul beyond '5' in the gruelling Rocket Rescue...I did make "Space Captain" though . This one brings the concepts of fuel conservation and scarcity to a whole new level *sigh* : Mission 2; Total 40; Saved 5 Rocket Man: 7,000 Rocket Repair Man: A rather unforgiving jet-packer; I had a blast shooting the baddies for kicks until I ran out of air? So, not only does the suit take damage from touching any pixel of anything...your air runs out too?! I did manage recovery of 4 pieces of the craft in question until...Aargh-----: 1,888 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gury Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Ok, I managed to save 3 people in Rocket Rescue. My rank is now Rocket aspirant, yuhej!!! Score total 13, people saved 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Ok that's all for this round! Thanks for playing and I hope you enjoyed the games. Despite the initial difficulty the games were all playable. Rocket Rescue is interesting and offers a nice challenge - key is of using the l/r thrusts which don't burn fuel but stopping them in time, Jan if you're reading this nice work Be sure to check out his other games especially Dracular Lives I won the round with Nature Boy (soon to be renamed) eeking the most points from Repairman.

Grevle Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) Good Job BountyBob . I think Rocket Rescue has 8 or 10 missions can,t remember exactly.. There was a way to get extra lifes, hmm shot as many aliens you can in the shooting sequence.. i think 8 or more aliens hit then you get extra lifes, If i remember correclty., well i think its 6 aliens and not 8. If i remeber clearly. Edited December 3, 2014 by BioFreeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh I thought there might be more to it. You have the game really very nice now, still tricky but very playable indeed . If you get time tweak Dracula Lives to make the tricky bits a little bit easier (at least on the first level if it has levels?) that would make that better too - I think it was getting past one of the archers when returning to the coffin that seems to be really hard? Looking forward to your next game as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
