Philflound Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 this thing is almost impossible to control in an emu. 16600 Not true. I haven't had my vcs set up in 3 years, so all I play is emulators. It takes some getting used to, but I find the arrow keys to be pretty easy and lighter on the hand. If you need to, spend 5 minutes or so doing nothing but learning to fly. You have to earn your pilot's license. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 10,800 and I don't see getting much better. I pretty much stink at this game. -S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malc74 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Score update - 66800. Finally got past the second UFO level (which I was always coming a cropper on) and eventually got onto the 4th 'loop'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 19,400 I just can't get the hang of the controls on emulation. the direction keys are just too awkward to really get any manuevering done. Which is too bad, because I think I could do much better if I owned this game.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philflound Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 35,800. Really wanted to finish the UFO 2nd time around, but I'll live with this nice improvement. Went from level 6 to 10 on my last man. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 FINALLY a breakthrough game! 31,200! Whew, now maybe I can make some real progress (or more likely its a fluke!), although I now REALLY want this for the system!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert M Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 New score: 32100 For control I have found it useful to turn all the way to the right, and then use the left and right keys to rotate back and forth between up/left and right. It makes it more like steering the plane left and right. I use the down key as an escape manuver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Just a heads up, I'm on the leaderboard twice for this game! #3 and #7, both lucky numbers, no less, maybe I'm due a breakout game again!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I think a driving controller hack would be nice. I can understand the difficulty in hitting the targets, if you think of dog fights and the sort, not every bullet fired is a direct hit, so sometimes you are in the area but don't kill, it's understandable to me. Makes more of a challenge to hit them. Alot of times requires spinning around to come in at a slightly alternate angle of attack. I think with better control though, it would be easier to pick up & play for fun. maybe.. Maybe a DC hack plus added bombs for the enemy bosses. slight improvement, seem to loose all control at the UFOs. 34,900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes more of a challenge to hit them. yeah, but when my bullets go right through the plane? I even made sure I hit the fuselage....

keilbaca Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hello gentlemen! I got pissed off of the keyboard enough to get a joypad for the comp (I'm stuck on emulation for a month due to me moving). I was testing out my new controller, first game, oh look! 35k! I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
