oyamafamily Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 SPIDER FIGHTER MY CONSIDERATIONS: According to Spider Fighter Manual, Left Difficulty B is Expert Game (Fast Enemies; point values for insects shot are multiplied by 2 on Grapes Waves, 4 on Strawberries, and 8 on Bananas), and Left Difficulty A is Regular Game (Slow Enemies; point values for insects shot NEVER change, and are the following: Master Nest 100 points; Stinger and Spy Pods 50 points; Green Widow 30 points). But on Stella (a "default" Atari 2600 VCS Emulator) and on Activision Anthology on Game Boy Advance, I noticed that Left Difficulty Switch on Spider Fighter has an OPPOSITE effect: B is Regular Game and A is Expert. Remember that on Stella and Activision Anthology Cartridge for Game Boy Advance, B/Novice is the default position of Difficulty Switches. Due to these considerations, I had to record my 2 gameplays in the video below: Difficulty BB and Difficulty AA. SCORES: 100,660 (Difficulty BB, starts at 00:07 mark and final score visible at 25:10 mark), and 85,400 (Difficulty AA, starts at 25:16 mark and final score visible at 31:51 mark) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cvga Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Look what I found yesterday! Circa '84-'85 Great stuff! I love the Activision patches. Actually I often like things related to the games as much as the games themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oyamafamily Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 DRAGSTER GAME 1 - 5.81 SECONDS (sucessful run starts at 32:42 mark) (including in the video below unsucessful attempts to reach 6.00 seconds or less) Sorry, I forgot to record audio in the video below, but at the moment I played Dragster, I used sounds to play better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthkur Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Got 3 out of 4 of the Starmaster patches. Turns out the third level is the hardest to complete with a sufficient score. With Keystone Kapers I got to the point where I could have kept going forever and got bored so I quit with several lives still in reserve. Starmaster - 3,961 (Ensign) Starmaster - 5,816 (Leader) Starmaster - 9,167 (Starmaster) Keystone Kapers - 164,050 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
