TheHoboInYourRoom Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I don't have any non-jittery paddles right now, so I'll have to use Stella this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I had never played this one before, but it's a neat game. Reminds me a lot of Astroblast. Encounter at L-5 (B/B Difficulty, Default Settings): 2,617 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) I decided to come back and take another crack at it after having breakfast and my morning coffee, and I think I improved my score a fair bit. One useful tip I learned while playing this time which isn't in the instruction manual is that once you reach the 5th level of difficulty at 3,200 points and above, letting a red death ship touch the ground becomes an instant game over no matter how many lives you have stockpiled. At that point in the game instead of disappearing and taking away 1 life when the death ship touches the ground the ship just bounces up and down on the ground draining all of your lives in about half a second, so once you cross the 3,200 point threshold you cannot let a death ship reach the ground or it's game over. Anyhoo... Encounter at L-5 (B/B Difficulty, Default Settings): 3,843 Edited April 18, 2017 by Jin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariWarlord Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 1,010. I gave this game a good review on my blog but playing it for extended periods of time becomes tedious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 2,130 considering Jin's tip about the red-death machines, I think it may be a good idea to practice getting right in the face of those things from the beginning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atarian7 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I was wondering why you would end up somewhere else seemingly randomly when you release the fire button. I read the instructions again and found out you go to where your cursor is. That's some useful information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
