youxia Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Yep, pretty much the only thing you have to get your head around (ha! a pun) in CCC is the way the monster moves, since it's similar to tank controls (head is a turret of sorts). Plus the command list for each monster is quite extensive (and can vary slightly for different ones) so you can keep that manual page open. Then you just move around and fight/destroy. I like it because it's so highly innovative, open-ended and different from normal strategy games (a bit more like roguelike "runs"). And it's highly unusual to find a strategy game wjich is tailored for HS gameplay hence the recommendation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedThunder Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Do not blame yourself. Have been playing the game for 2 weeks. And never reached level 2........ Ditto... I helped create manual and I cant get past Level 1. Superb game game though... chapeau to the The Real Bounty Bob for this ground breaking game and the effort he has put into it :-) I hear Activision have bought the rights to Space Fortresss Omega and are creating a Virtual Reality 360 version in 8K 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 We're starting round 2 in the morning (Saturday) Man, I suck at this game. My best was 1680. I didn't even make it to level 2. Thanks for playing All I can say for anyone struggling is to play on Trainee - you don't need to worry about the aliens or fuel so can then concentrate on the route, just survive and get to the end as your first objective. It really does need joystick control to get the cadence of the movement. I imagine if there is any lag on emulation etc it would be too difficult - try full screen mode perhaps. I did play again but did not improve rank (21,350) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did play again but did not improve rank (21,350) @trbb I seriously do not think people have issues with the fuel or aliens. It is the route and the rather unforgiving difficulties one has to face during the route. (I mean: you have to remember the route quite well to know where the tricky parts are). On the other side, it is just this hardness that distincts this game from other games that are perhaps too easy. What you could consider, is in Trainee to built in a slight time before a collision is deadly. Perhaps a collision could cost energy instead of losing a life at once. I have really (even after 2 weeks of practice) some moments where I think: sigh WHY is it all so tight in the maze? In those cases a slightly more forgiving handling of collision would be appreciated. Anyway, I am still very positive about the game. It is just a suggestion to improve the game!

+therealbountybob Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Congratulations to me for winning the first roud, though it did take me a couple of years to make a game that was just about too hard for McKong to learn in a 2 weeks period Seriously thanks for playing everyone, I hope you enjoyed Space Fortress Omega. Thanks again to RedThunder for the instructions artwork. Regarding the difficulty I forgot about a great feature I had programmed; on Trainee the gaps between the rocks are not as narrow so there you go If anyone wants to edit or create a new Space Fortess get in touch and I'll send you the playfield maps. I used Envsion on the Atari to create them, there is a PC version too and other tools. If you do continue playing SFO then report back with your progress, someone has to save the Earth eh? Nearly Final Tables - by rank then score (you can still posts late scores if you wish to join in!)
