+SpiceWare Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 20,360 Interesting game, feels like a prequel to Scramble and Super Cobra; though those were by another company. The game does seem to be a bit glitchy with odd video "fragments" showing up and poor collision detection. Is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe your colecovision switch is starting to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I think the poor collision detection is normal but fragments? Maybe your colecovision switch is starting to go. Don't think so - both my CV systems do the same thing and I've not noticed it on other games. I took a quick video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96ne1VjHYms and here's a few frames highlighting some of the fragments: Maybe it's related to this.

Tony Cruise Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) This one makes my wrist ache with the firing! And I never realized how bad the collision detection was on it before. 32,520 Edited May 20, 2013 by Electric Adventures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northcoastgamer Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 81,820. Nowhere near the tight quarters and tricky maneuverability as in Super Cobra. Would have been cool if an alien mothership was at the end of each stage to battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
