HSC13 Round 2: Zybex


Recommended Posts

First of all... I'm an idiot. I had Atari800Win set to 120% speed. After changing it back to 100% I was like "Oh my, this game is soooo easy".

Anyway, your move people. :)

NTSC and 120% ?!!! You are a gaming machine :-o I just checked my old records and 182K was my best ever score so this is going to take some serious beating :thumbsup: Still plenty of time though ;) The score that sets the new HSC record will get the bonus point!

Neither do I. You have to lost one life on the left and one on the right. I've managed to reach level 6 and 6995 points, but I don't have a screenshot so it doesn't count.

That's ok screenshot not required. I've just tried Zybex 3 but it's really too hard so we'll forget about that one if that's ok. I liked it's "back on earth" look ;)

 

I completed Zybex again 183,200 but limped over the line on my last life with little fire power - The game is so well done I expect that 200K is a maximum score. I'll have another go at this tomorrow ;)

 

Zybex 2 went crazy and the tokens counter rolled around then it started dishing out extra lives!

 

Round 3 POLL OPEN

 

ZYCLOPS - I FIXED LEVEL 4!!

Zyclops-WithFixedLevel4.atr

(Anyone wanting to change things: Select is the editor - press L Load, S Save then use joystick to change level number)

Just a quick run on the Emulator to be in the list. Nearly impossible for me to play with the keyboard. I totally prefer really hardware and my Competition Pro 5000. :)

 

Hope to do another run on the games at the weekend, but I´m travelling now (and take a 800 XE with me ;) ).

 

Zybex 2: 13750

Just can´t complete the game, lost 9 Lives at Planet Zybex...

 

the last stage is tough, few extra weapons - you should reach here with a few men left, the more you play you can sometimes have 9 or more - the trick is to try and save your favourite weapons by switching to others when you are in trouble; just accept the loss of the man to save the weapon. For me the orbit and the rail gun are the two I value most.

 

Zybex 68.750

 

I was randomly picking levels in this order: 1,12,3,4,7,10 and found these quiet easy, then picked level 8 and lost all lifes in few seconds.

 

Any suggestion for other 'easy' levels worth to try? :)

 

7 then 2 are difficult and perhaps 3&4 so take these when you have men and power. Go for 1,12 and perhaps go from 8-11?!

 

I don't know if anyone noticed, but game doesn't add points from tokens on Zybex level to the total score.

What a con! That makes your score more impressive - after 183,200 yesterday I scored 182,200 today :-o :twisted: ;-)

 

Just to participate...

 

Zybex.....15400

Zybex 2....5900

 

Thanks Gury - every player counts :thumbsup:

177000 - Zybex 1

 

Another completion :thumbsup: Trying to get more points is tough (see above!)

This is the kind of dedication we need :thumbsup:

 

Zyclops is better with the fixed version but you need to be calm to play - after a Zybex session I was the opposite of calm! It's a bit frustrating as you can mess up a screen and it's then impossible despite having spare lives - see screenshot:

Thinking about it perhaps Sergio made Z2 and Z3 so hard with 2 player in mind - Zybex is a great game for 2 players (in co-operation) :)

This is exactly what I do. ;) Reached it with 9 Lives (or maybe 10 or 11, but the counter does not show more than 9) and then just kept on dying. The weapon switching is most important for me. Normaly I use Orbit for the Levels and Railgun for the Bosses.

Then you can't have far to go so just one more attempt :thumbsup:

Not quite my type of game so far...

 

Just 2100 points after several attempts (Altirra/PAL)

Are you using a joystick with this? It's best to attack the waves - at the start fly right up to the first one while you are invincible. It is a tough game and definitely needs some time to get the hang of. The bonus game Zylcops is ok if you fancy something more easy going :)

My HSC strategy of a couple of goes each day continues...

187,700 ;)

I'm back on my CRT TV after using a cheapo flat screen for a while as I'm reviewing light gun games for a future Pro© Magazine article, boy does it look so much better on the CRT the Zybex colours are amazing :thumbsup:
