No pictures this time out, since I couldn't tell which one was which anyway :)

 

Round 1: 646

Round 2: 536

Round 3: 301

 

Total: 1483

 

I like the game but don't love it. I will say I'm impressed that it was done in 2010.

 

(I'm starting to notice that the games I do *really* well on are the ones I played when they were new, which means that gaming muscle memory must truly exist :) )

Seems I posted this on the games list thread so I'll move it here...

If anyone does complete stages 1-4 from the start they will get a bonus point. Wonder whether it then goes to hard mode?

 

It's so sad about the author Raster, but I'm sure he'd be pleased to know we are enjoying his game. The manual on the abbuc disks says you have a few seconds of invulnerability at the start of a life where you can move L/R safely, as soon as you press fire or pull down the game continues :)

 

There is a thread about Raster on atariage but here is a translation from Fandal's blog 28/7/14

Today it is three years since the age of only thirty-eight years, died tragically extraordinary man, a great friend and an excellent atarista Radek "Raster" Sterba.

I hesitated whether to write something more, because for me it is still too fresh blow. But remembering the man can not resist a well-when I realized one special thing. While it is sad that no longer with us, Radek can not be, the universe was so positive force that in my memories of him at the same time provoke a smile on both the body and the soul.

And so I ask. Not uniqueness of man measured precisely by what link there in the people left behind?

The next poll will be live in a few minutes... OPEN

 

Completed Stage 1 - 1259 (1044 at the end of the stage which was less points than when I failed!)

Just played my first real game: Round 1: 78, Round 2: 35, Round 3: 25.

 

I just wanted to get SOME score out there.

 

Is there a score catagory for two-player games?

Robix is good fun in 2 player mode (for all ages) - you'll each get a bonus point as it stands - perhaps stop the game when one player is out like The McKongs did ;)

Got to the angry ant boss at the end of stage 4 again. Compared to the other bosses this guy is difficult to kill. He's hard to hit and hard to dodge. And if you don't get him with your first life your back to the crap weapon and then you'll have to hit him dozens of times! I had him down to 4 bits of energy, next time he's dead!

I played Robix with my friend yesterday and we forgot to play some two-player games. We'll have to give it a try after this round is over.

 

I was able to finally got higher scores when I realized that I can just hold the button down to fire. Is this what you expert-players are doing?

 

Higher scores:

 

Round 1: 509

Round 2: 325

Round 3: 403

Yes definitely holding the button down to fire. This, in my opinion, makes the game nicer to play than some other shooters.
