Never was very good at this game.

I tried to play this several times over the last few days and haven't lasted more than a few seconds per life! My hat's off to you guys!

The deed is done. Skill level 3 beaten.
There is a certain aspect of luck involved but mostly its just avoiding the jet as he sweeps across the screen. Landing extremely close the the houses is very important, this can cut down pickup time to only a few seconds. I'd say I played about 60 games over the course of 2 days to get this although I did purposely crash many times if a hostage died, to restart faster.
I even managed to capture a video on the bluemsx emulator, although I can't figure out how to post it here. If anyone has suggestions I'd like to hear em. I need a program to view it I guess.

Amazing! Thanks so much for the video. You're strategy is quite different from mine. I am a little embarrassed to say that I didn't know you could destroy the hostage buildings yourself, I always lured the tanks to them and waited for them to destroy the buildings. I'm gonna work on it some more, but 64 is gonna be a challenge.

Well after figuring out the jet's pattern the game is so much easier. I only crashed once on this run. It would be very hard to get all the hostages though, the tanks often kill one the moment I reach the first house.

Never played this game before but it's pretty fun. I'm struggling with the jet though, he's just a bit too quick to avoid sometimes.

Not sure if this can be counted in the tourney. I'm new here but thought I'd post up my ladybug high score. I just did this on my original colecovision on skill 4. Vegtable garden is a must!

ARGHH! I can't believe I missed this! I'm new to the forum but have been searching for anything beamrider related on and off for years. I have had an unhealthy obsession with this game ever since my dad told me how he beat this game and a message popped up on the screen saying about joining the official beamriders. After much research I'm sure that wasn't really the case but I still love the game. There is a note in the instruction manual about becoming a beamrider by scoring 40,000 by sector 14. I'm sure that's what he is remembering. Although I don't have any proof, I did score just over 150k and reached sector 31 on one occasion. I feel confident that the coleco version will NEVER be "broken". I mean no one will ever reach sector 99. The coleco version is waaaaay harder than others, it has more enemy types, mainly the very difficult ones. If any one has any cool tidbits about the game or info on the highest coleco score let me know!
Here is a pic of my run up to sector 14 to join the official beamriders. Yeah my submission was a little late but oh well. I'm not looking to be a part of this finished tournament, just friendly competition and info about the game.
Also a note, you can have more lives than are displayed on screen. If you destroy a mothership with more lives than shown, it will still count them in your score.
