[Ignorama]

I read the manual, but I did not really get the gameplay. How Do I get a high score? And how often can I be hit? It feels that I slow down after a hit and after a short time I get faster again, so do I recover all the time from single hits and only die if I take some in a short time?

[wolfy62]

Stay away from the middle, you will die. The rest of your information is correct, you slow down when hit and only get three hits.

[m-crew]

Also try to have as many Through doors as you can.. it helps you escape dangerous situations and also you can get your disc back quicker by going through doors to catch and throw again...

[Ignorama]

What do you mean with "escape"? If I walk into a opened door I am still in the same room. Or is the door just a place where opponents cant hit me?

 

70.000 is my score so far, but I guess there is a lot space for improvements ^^

[Ignorama]

I found out how the doors work, you have to open opposite doors

[m-crew]

I found out how the doors work, you have to open opposite doors

yes, sorry I just assumed you knew... lol

[Ignorama]

Let me know some scores. I am still at 70.000

[m-crew]

Finally had a chance to play a couple games ,forgot how hard it

Gets lol

[m-crew]

Played a few more games not much progress.

Maybe a few cold ones will help.

Lol

[jblenkle]

I'm using the Nostalgia emulator and am unsure what buttons are pressed to throw discs. Nothing I've tried seems to work. Any help would be appreciated.

[m-crew]

Sorry can't help you there , I'm playing on an Intellivision II today.

I'm sure someone around here may have an answer for you.

[m-crew]

See what a few Canadian ale does )

[JacobZu7zu7]

Welcome. Glad to hear that you are trying out the INTV. The INTV has some pretty cool games to discover and the HSC is a great way to get to know them.

 

Good luck and read you around!

[S.BAZ]

I had a go at it. might try again tonight.

 

4,950

Tron Deadly Discs - 1,300

[wolfy62]

Somebody has got to get a million here and see what happens. If I had more spare time in my day......

 

And remember, your energy regenerates by going in and out of the open doors on opposite sides of the play field. The value of your enemy kills grows exponentially as you get further into the game. Have fun!!!!

[m-crew]

Had a chance to play a couple a games , a little better !! Going to try for that million if I get another chance.

@ Wolfy

 

Did you reached a million points? If yes, why no score pic? And I was a bit surprised about the orange guy, its a beast and can take FOUR Hits. I try to improve that score, but not even half of the record is a bit disappointing

[m-crew]

Wolfy did mention that it was years ago when he did.

I will beat million soon,I hope

Here s another try.

I knew someone would get there! I just warned M-crew about the surprise factor of the orange guys with the sticks. I did reach a million twice, but in 1982 I had no camera at the time, only a Bong and a pipe. I suck now, my best is 38, 000 as my real life issues are getting in the way.

 

What with work, my Wifes Father passing, my kids issues.....I could go on and on!

 

I unwrapped Mission x in week 1 and I suck at that game. Shark! Shark! and Tron I would have done well at. Pac-Man maybe pretty good.

 

I still have time to jump in on Tron. Better get to it! Great score Ignorama, watch out for M-crew do not count him out!
