+Cafeman Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 This game infuriates me! I doubt I will have the tranquility of mind to do better this week. Maybe if I switched to a better controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Kai Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 102,440 I have the most trouble with the steam irons, no matter which round through they give me grief. On the second loop the tires are a problem too. Finally broke 100k though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I have the most trouble with the steam irons, no matter which round through they give me grief. On the second loop the tires are a problem too. Finally broke 100k though! I've played more Megamania in these 2 weeks than I ever have in my entire life up to this point. I've been playing a lot more of the game than I'd planned on. "just one more try" . I've remembered some of my old strategies, its hard to explain them though. basically (1) don't hold in the fire button all the time but release and press when enemies are above you, (2) for horiztonally moving enemies, try not to wildly move leftwards because the shots almost always will be there waiting for you , and (3) steam irons: if you align your ship's left nacelle with the energy meter's 1st marking, or the ship's right nacelle with the last energy meter marking on the right side, these are two nice places to nail the descending columns. erm... I think those are the locations. You can hit both the left column and the center column by lining up with the left-side 1st meter marking. but you still need to be very careful about the missiles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
