Intelligentleman

I’d be down

Any reason why the shark chime stops as soon as the player causes another sfx to occur?

I kinda think it would be fun to play astrosmash with a time limit; without pause...

😀 it also helped that my parents wouldn’t let me have my own console until the early 90s with an original Gameboy. Before that, I’d have to go to a friends house to play NES or my uncles house to play Intellivision.

37 here. Born in 82. As soon as I was able to hold the controller, I started playing Intellivision. Probably around 1987 or so.

The graphics on this look petty rad, especially on the CRTs but also the normal hd TVs Might try tracking down a copy

I wish that guy would just do one at a time.

Yikes, it's also pretty expensive on the bay.

You guys think this is a good game to add to my collection? Might try to snatch it up so I can participate in week 2 of this one.

Agree, not a game that benefits from the stock controller.

Agreed. I especially love when it’s a game you’ve always wanted anyways!

Thank you. I appreciate your synopsis of the two.

Gameplay-wise, can anyone speak to the main differences between this and Space Invaders? I've played some of the latter, but not enough to compare the two...

I'm torn. I want to try direct drive to see if I can get a higher score. But I genuinely enjoy playing on drift mode.

Disc. Auto fire. Drift. Dual controller.

I really do enjoy falling into orbit with a space hawk and then just picking away at it leisurely. As long as you stay ahead of it, it can't really hurt you. Also, once there are three attack blobs on screen, the space hawk won't deploy anymore.

I kinda want to see the math behind this. Not saying it isn't true.

Thanks, I had encountered some invisenemies in earlier stages, but this one had way more.

Just got to the invisible level for the first time. Yikes.

Still waiting for my breakthrough, but best score yet.

Try it with autofire... just for comparison

I’m really kinda surprised by the disdain for Space Hawk. I rather like it

Man... You and mr_me are both really good at this.
