Scrabbler15 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 133,300 I want the game to end in a Missile-Command-Type-End-Of-The-World explosion, so that I know that I don't really have one more ship. . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Thanks Northcoast. I was pretty happy, my best ever before this was about 150K. I think using the A setting helps also thanks Zoyx! It looks like it would have been foolish of me to have hung up my joystick til next week! I'll get back at it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobZu7zu7 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Last time I played this I didn't have a big score at all... I'll probably look up tips on here and work on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorfy Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 WOW Gorfy that was fast! I'm fast?! You're the one who has broken 1 million twice already! One thing I'm not fast at is getting stuff mailed out I did get the cartridges boxed up today, but ran out of time to go to the post office. I'm pretty sure it'll be going out tomorrow.......Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 hey no worries! I was surprised because I wrote up my score & accidently hit "post" before adding the pic. so I quickly added the pic & then saw you had already liked it!

Not good at this at all. 38,600 SAM_2356.JPG There seems to be a certain incubation period necessary for this game, during which it seems impossible to make improvements. But when you stick with it, suddenly you'll have a breakthrough game and then it gets easier. Even then it seems to be one step forward and two steps back, but at least it no longer feels impossible 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then it seems to be one step forward and two steps back, but at least it no longer feels impossible agreed! I got lucky this round since I'd been playing it a few weeks ago to beat a score on the Highscore.com contest the main difficulty for me was how "squirelly" your ship is on the screen. You have to be careful to hit exactly in the right direction (I've been just "tapping" the directions) or else the ship "dorks" all over the place. sometimes it goes up when I meant to go right, then I try to correct it by going down, then right, and it goes left then up, etc... it's really sensitive to joystick wiggling! reset, reset, reset, til I get into a more accurate groove.

I remembered the first time I played, I didn't realize that you needed to press the fire button in order to go fast enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyx Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Is it legal to use difficulty a? Looks like all it does is let you go at the fast speed without the button mashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
