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.

Also wanted to say: Wow! That was incredibly close for 1st and 2nd,great job to you two guys,and winning 4 individual games each.
I am just along for the ride!😄
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.

It's like some guys sat in a conference room and brainstormed all the possible ways to make a game cool.
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.

It's those side buttons, ouch. Would be a good game to use an atari joystick with. It's a shame the INTV didn't have detachable controllers...just to switch things up.

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

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

This results in much less time to clear the enemy, requiring different strategy. In space armada, enemy weapons change as the game advances and you can't shoot enemy missiles.
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.

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.

It's much easier and much more fun to chase them and match their speed in drift mode. Otherwise you're creating extra work for yourself. Yes, it's tougher to avoid a collision when you have all that momentum but saving lives is not the priority in this game. You can kill more space hawks and score more points per hour in drift mode,
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.

Try it with autofire... just for comparison

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

It's good to play this once every 35+ years to remind myself why I only play this once every 35+ years...
Man... You and mr_me are both really good at this.
