Gorfy Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 And, yes, it is much better to follow the mothership tip. Dodging and firing is fun but it gets less points. I'm confused....which tip are you referring to? I've been experimenting with my technique some lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanyMato Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I finally find a adapter for my Atari console. So, this is my final score for this challenge on my console 41 580!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I do it in a similar fashion. Only that I save myself the trouble of dodging. I activate the shield when the first central shots are about to hit and fire away. That usually punches at least 2 or 3 dents into the lower part of the blue shield. Then to the edge, where the dents are about to arrive, punch 3 or 4 of them through, back into the center, activate shield and fire. Good flow, and seems to work almost always. oh, yes! that's better. I did that a few times by accident but haven't changed my game plan yet. more room for improvement! good to see you here DT... 586050 my big score for now, hopefully I can improve it tonight ! that took me 38 minutes btw. when I'm playing reasonably in a good groove, I'm getting about 20K per minute. so a rollage at that rate should add up to a little more than 50 min., considering the first 8 bosses pay less points. had a video but failed to convert it 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vocelli Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 ANNOUNCEMENT! Due to the increase in Atari 2600 Players. The scoring will be as follows for Season 3: 50pts for 1st 49pts for 2nd and so on and so on! Rarely do I make such a change but the participation has been INCREDIBLE! Just keep posting! Thanks, Vocelli 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TwentySixHundred Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Looks like i am going to miss out on improving my score for this round due to work and other busy appointments. Sometimes these things happen, however i can see that Atari light at the end of the tunnel. Free time is on the cards but for the past few weeks it's just been work, family, eat and sleep 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I'm confused....which tip are you referring to? I've been experimenting with my technique some lately. Before I was simply firing and dodging in the center of the mothership. Now I fire in the middle, go left to damage the blue shield, and only then return to the middle for final(s) shooting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorfy Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I guess I've been hitting the "like" button too much today because I reached my maximum already. I hope nobody thinks I'm leaving them out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitanClassic Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I have made several attempts at rolling the score, but keep making dumb mistakes. I have pretty good patterns for the Blue/Red waves, and can wipe them out within 10-15 seconds. If I fail the pattern, usually it doesn't leave the Phoenix in a bad state that are hard to kill without dying. The mother ship pattern that I use is pretty good, but I have been making mistakes on it too. I think it is best to get 2-3 holes while in the center, that way if you need to dodge on the edge, you can hopefully still get a two block side-to-side gap. I may make another attempt at rolling, but when I fail I take 45 minutes or so to not beat my score. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
