jamesb69 Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Is it possible to lose in this game? Been playing it for an hour and can't die. Checked the manual and there is no mention of it. So basically it comes down to the fact that you can shoot the little blocks forever and get an infinitely high score? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaXpress Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 You're not getting shot at? Can't run into tomatoes? Never rammed into a brick eater? Are you sure you have the right manual? The one here on AtariAge certainly mentions way to die. I don't recall any "immortal" variation but you might try changing the difficulty level. Wish I had time to play a game and see what's up. This is one of my favorites. The second best Fox cart (after Turmoil) in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesb69 Posted July 17, 2003 Author Share Posted July 17, 2003 i get hit by the tomatoes and get shot, BUT i appear again every time... even after getting hit like 500 times i still reappear...is there no limit on the number of lives. and the manual was the one here at atari age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 From the manual: LEFT DIFFICULTY SWITCH A = Four Sprayers per gameLEFT DIFFICULTY SWITCH B = Unlimited number of Sprayers per game The review of this game in Electronic Fun (a vintage game magazine for those not in the know) made a bit of fun of how pointless playing a game was in which you couldn't lose, advising it's readers to make sure the switch was set to A. It certainly was one of the first games, if not necessarily 'the first' that had a 'god mode' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesb69 Posted July 17, 2003 Author Share Posted July 17, 2003 thanks, i thougt i was losing my mind. I was gonna just keep shooting the blocks til i got the score to max out. Yes it would be very pointless. Relatively fun game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 yup, great game if played with limited lives very interesting how both this game and alligator people feature a sprayer and what seems to be a similar game engine and both have the 'unlimited lives/limited lives' options in the difficulty switch. i wonder if a.p. was never released because fox felt it was too obviously similar to r.o.t.b.s.t. ?

bradhig1 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I was just playing this and couldn't figure out why I didn't lose a life. I wonder if they wanted to call it Attack of The Killer Tomatoes but couldn't get the rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
