Yeah, but I would be more comfortable with it if I had a screenshot...if I got there once, I can get there again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) OK, I'm "official" again...took me three hours this morning...I really gotta get a job so I don't sit playing video games all day!!! These suckers are getting too fast. I only beat my previous score with a flurry of last second shots up close before they took me out. Omega Race - 199,500 203,500 An improved score and it's already been beaten!!! Edited February 5, 2011 by jblenkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblenkle Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Wow! Just had a breakout game!!! Omega Race - 241,500 Tip: When the game starts to get a little harder after the opening levels (* see below), come around the corner and fire off three quick shots at the grouped enemy. Continue down to the bottom of the screen and accelerate and when you get closer, turn up at a 45 degree angle and start firing. You can usually take out all the ships before they get you. Then you just need to chase after the one or two that have gone around the corner and pick them off. * If you start doing this too soon, they will probably get you before you get them. They seem to fire at you sooner in the earlier levels. Edited February 5, 2011 by jblenkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
