  1. Dang! I forgot how fast this is! Managed to kill 1 robot and muster a score of 22,950. Sorry, no screenie this time. I'll get one for my next submission.
  2. After getting reacquainted with SPM, here are some more scores: High score: 122,230 1 screen (1 life) score: 14,460 2 screens (1 life) score: 28,430 After 1st bonus screen (1 life) score: 44,510.
  3. I didn't realize the data disks were separate games! I guess I have more work to do! LOL!
  4. Played it again. New score: 42,300! There are 40 levels in all. The last one being the "bonus gem" level. Then it goes back to the beginning. There are no more swords/gems to be collected in the 2nd runthrough, so you basically go as far as you can before you lose your remaining swords/lives. So, maximize your points and conserve your swords or else you can't make it to the end.
  5. Finished the Zdenda version with 41,260 points. I’ll post a screenshot later on. It just goes back to the beginning and let’s you play through again until you’ve exhausted your remaining swords/lives.
  6. It's been awhile, but I finally remembered how this works. LOL! You can't progress past 16 if you haven't saved the required number of pilots. The good news is you can go up to the mother ship, drop off who you have and return to that level for the rest (the number needed doesn't reset.) So, having remembered that, I made it to level 28 (skipping 4 levels at a time from 16.) Managed a score of 112,230! Little tip for you: If the mother ship is waiting for you and you accidentally let an alien in your ship, fire the boosters and return to the mother ship. It'll be a rough ride, but you'll make it home and kill the alien.
  7. Been out of touch but I thought I'd check in and post a score. 6,611. I couldn't advance past level 16...it just jumped back to level 13. Maybe I'm playing the wrong version. Anyway, for those ROF fans (and in case you didn't know) there's a PC remake of the game, called "Fractalus" and it's pretty good: https://www.lsdwa.com/projects/fractalus/
  8. I like getting the bonus done first. 1 Frog, 1 level: 13,791!
  9. Your best pieces in Archon are the Unicorn (Light Side) and Basilisks (Dark Side) because of the speed of their attack and quick recharge rate. When you're playing to eliminate the other side, you can pretty much wipe out the computer with those pieces. My trick to beating them is this: As soon as a battle starts, move down to the bottom of the screen. Then time your shot so the computer runs into your shot. Just be careful not to allow him to shoot you on a diagonal. He's pretty accurate. This tactic works with all pieces that shoot, but you have to learn to adjust your timing based on the speed of your shot so they will run into your shot.
  10. Interesting! I didn't think you could have a stalemate unless the last 2 pieces simultaneously died on the battlefield.
  11. Archon, playing dark side. Capture 5 power squares and Elimination (Sorceress suicide)
  12. I'm doing the Archon challenges first. All played with the light side and the computer going first: Capture 5 power squares Sacrificing Wizard and eliminating opponent (by default, I guess I did the other challenges too, right? Will play the dark side next. BTW, there's actually a pretty simple strategy to beating the computer. With timing and patience, you can go after him on the squares that give him the most health and take him out pretty easily. I'll share it later on in the round, if people want the tips.
