DaveD Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Very cool game! This one's all about peripheral vision. The original game uses 4 directional buttons and a fire button. Thanks to the magic of MAME, if you map the fire button to be all directions and map the directions to a joystick, you can really rack up some time on this one.

I have to double check but I think the way I have it setup is you move the joystick then press the fire button. According to the scores on Twin Galaxies my score is competitive using that control setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 134,250 This game looks like it might have inspired Imagic's Cosmic Ark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 This game looks like it might have inspired Imagic's Cosmic Ark. And I think some of the sound effects were reused in Gorf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the scores on Twin Galaxies my score is competitive using that control setup. You're right. I wasn't at my machine and I remembered it wrong. It may work the way I explained but I think it's enough just to substitute a joystick for the directional buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthkur Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 104,500 The grandfather of all twitch games. The difficulty certainly ramps up far quicker than the Astrocade port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Just an observation: the players are free to request any arcade/MAME game in the universe (provided that they are available on both platforms) but participation goes way up when the game of the week is one from the golden age of arcade games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangia-Boy Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Space Zap : 70750 This game was only ported to Bally Astrocade. I think, it's called Space Fortress there. Fast shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
