Ze_ro Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Important Note: This weeks competition is over and no further scores will be accepted. Beyond the orbit of the moon, a defenseless space colony is under heavy attack from the ruthless Megalytes. You are their only hope. Armed with packets of antimatter, you take control of an Antimatter Launcher. Suddenly the sky is ablaze with Megalyte war ships. You must destroy them before their formidable particle beams destroy you and the peace-loving colonists of L-5. It will take every ounce of skill and cunning at your disposal to blast the evil ones out of orbit.

You'll also score 10 points for each death ship you destroy. Hints and Tips The Manual As always, you really should read the manual. In case you don't have the manual, AtariAge has a typed copy available online.

Zoyx Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I love these how-to videos. Corny, but give some good tips. The stategy of moving to the side of the death ship is good. You get the nice sharp angle to kill it. Just have to be careful not to warp right under the death ship. Also when in the center, generally shoot straight up. This will help prevent death ship spawn frags. That's the most frustrating thing in this game is the death ship spawning right on top of you, and taking a life before you know what's happened. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUtxsc1ZsIk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I didn't get any higher, but I did record an mpeg video of a run where I scored 3,052. I wonder if that mpeg file can be submitted to Twin Galaxies for score verification and second place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyx Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 @shadow460 I think they require cams, not screen captures. But I do believe that mpeg files and similar are acceptable formats. http://www.twingalaxies.com//index.aspx?c=70&id=4#HL34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
