Yeah I do for tron deadly disc because there is no maze but for this sometimes you need to be precise to enter. It’s tough doing that using two hands.

My Record was around 110,00 or so +\- Disc level a few years back here in the HSC. Any Tips for the invisible guy and such would be greatly appreciated. ?? Once again great score !!! Cant wait to see your record. It was on disc mode. Anything else is too slow. I’ve played this game a LOT in order to get to this point, but I do have a couple of tips. The robots (and your player for that matter) can only have one bullet on the screen at a time. So if you entice one to shoot at you from across the screen, it buys you some safe time. The key to the invisible robot (where the real game begins) is to try to wait in a place where he will shoot before he is right on you, so that you can react. I like the crook of bushes in the lower right in particular. Also, never hang around the bunker in later stages. You can lose several lives in quick succession that way. My record on twin galaxies is 641,300. I’ve gotten higher than that a handful of times, but that’s my documented high score. That was the world record until Matthew S. Miller crushed it with a score a little over 2 million. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid, my dad and I would play it as a 2 player co-op. I ran with one controller and he shot with the other. It was a blast. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_me Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Starting the game on speed 3, 2, or 1 doesn't make the game easier, just slower. Since the game isn't fast to begin with there might be no advantage either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClassicGMR Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 29,300 - game is tough and I found out my P1 controller was activating the 3/6/9 row on certain disc presses. I swapped P1 and P2 controllers (INTV II) and doing a little better overall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too , it sucks when you die and all the robots are around where you spawn. I lost 4 lives in a row before I got out to reach my last score. They could of gave you a 3 sec head start before the robots shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy62 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Not sure how much I like playing this now,but I know I was really good at this almost 40 years ago. You do get a feel for it if you can have time and the patience to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have more than 9 lives left the game starts using symbols to tell you how many are left. In that run that I posted I had ‘>’ lives at one point, but got killed with bots circling the spawn point. Whittled me down to 5 by the time I got out of trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
