Dauber Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Just so I'm clear...with the E.T. rules...what is meant by "one save"??? You mean rescue ship gets ET, you get your score, and quit? Or do you mean if you run out of energy, you're done (no rescue from Elliot)??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you mean if you run out of energy, you're done (no rescue from Elliot)??? I read it as one round. Either get E.T. home one time or run out of times that Elliott can bring E.T. back to life and the dead body of E.T. is lying there as Elliott walks around his house.

StanJr Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Here's your rollage on SW:TAG. The before was taken just before my Death Star run that caused the rollage. The after shot is just after the destruction of the Death Star. The actual rollage occurred during the trench run and I was a little preoccupied to get a pic.

StanJr Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Alien 54777 Much improved. I feel good about breaking my personal best this week! Also, a happy bonus, I got the Easter Egg Initials on one of my E.T. runs! (not a reported score, just a neat little note) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give Elliott one piece of candy on the log screen.

Hyperboy Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Wednesday afternoon update: Alien: 32,717 A slight improvement, but nowhere near the 60-90K scores I see being posted. Help me out here guys--what am I missing? The tips I followed that worked great for me were clearing a "quadrant" at a time instead of running around like mad and make use of the flame thrower. You get a total of 4 seconds of flame per level which is very useful if your in a jam and is actually a decent amount of time to use. Per the manual: Left Difficulty Switch B: Aliens travel in fixed patterns about the screen. I hope that helps and good luck! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 And what's the deal with the humans being able to just walk right over the pits?! E.T. doesn't belong to the first alien race that the government has tried to exploit. The U.S. government has been experimenting with various alien technologies for decades. The wells were dug by the government to trap E.T. Each well contains an alien force field that repels humans. These force fields were originally used by a different alien race to keep humans out of their hidden observation posts, but now the government uses the stolen technology to their advantage. The government guys or any human can walk over these special wells as if the wells don't exist. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Star Wars: 90,637 I'm glad I have two weeks on this one. It's clear that--with lots of practice--the trench gates are beatable. At the highest level the gate pattern is exactly the same every time. Once you memorize it, you are golden. Remember, just before the thermal exhaust port will come one single shot up/left, then two double shots, then the exhaust port. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 E.T. - 17,445 Collected a lot more candy to give to Elliot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Collected a lot more candy to give to Elliot. I wonder if it's totally random or if there is something that the player can do to make more candy appear. Maybe collect candy in a certain order?
