+DamonicFury Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 20565 7DF1ADFB.png Glitch screen garbage at GAME OVER screen...is it still a legal score? Of course, a little player/missile glitch like that is no reason to disqualify a score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DamonicFury Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Loving this game! Can't beat level 5 though. This one is a huge old favorite of mine. Played the heck out of it in the mid-80s on my 65XE. It can be frustrating to be sure, but so much fun. If possible, give it a try with something other then the standard 5200 joystick. That thing's lack of self-centering makes this game a good bit harder than it would be otherwise. If you don't have an alternate 5200 controller, perhaps using an emulator might be worth a try.

Hank Rearden Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I got a Bohoki adapter yesterday and should have a digital pc joystick today or tomorrow. Can't wait to test it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Rearden Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 28,980 With new digital pad, I was able to to get past 5 a few times and 6. Level 7 might take a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zylon Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 All it takes is 2 rubber bands to help center the controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Rearden Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I was just about to clear the cannon stage and I made a stupid mistake. I would have racked up a ton more points as the first 4 boards are easy for me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Rearden Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 83,905 Finally made it to zone 2! I was able to rack up points since the first boards are easy for me now. Wish I had this game as a kid. I love it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I had this game as a kid. I love it! Awesome to see you fall for this killer game! Glad it still has the same appeal to a new player now that it did back in the day. Congrats on beating all 10 screens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Rearden Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 96,510 I made it to level 10 of zone 2! I thought for sure I was going to complete it and hit zone 3. I would have then easily got another 25-30,000 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zylon Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Here's what I meant by using a rubber band. Works best with one big one like you'd get with the mail, or use two looped together if using smaller bands. Works great and costs less than a penny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
