Atarian7 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Is the shield supposed to be slidey or is that my paddle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+McCallister Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 39,520 Yeah, the shield controls are too slippery, but like others have said, the game would be too easy otherwise. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The direction of the shots is also controlled by the paddle, at same time as the shield is. Is that why... the delay ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmiller Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Not Bad for first time playing. I like the Game, but like others said, shield is to Sloppy. 5610 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefframsey Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I liked this game! The controls are a bit touchy but that may be my paddles. Game 1/B/B: 9540 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariWarlord Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) G.I. Joe 2,230 4,640. FINALLY starting to get the hang of this game. I realized that my problem was less about defending the Joes than hitting the Cobra, which is where the real points are. So I'm trying to keep enough Joes alive to stay in the game while focusing on hitting our reptilian friend. Edited October 17, 2019 by AtariWarlord Got higher score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novastar Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Just because I always appreciate the tips people give. Right now I am just over 19k. 1. Pressing the button stops the shield. This is particularly useful when trying to block the energy beam. It simultaneously fires so, while I have never successfully done it you could block and attack in the same movement. When you release the button it will take the current pot level so you can come out of that state really fast or slow depending on how far you've turned the paddle. 2. Bigger implication for points. There is a tone that is played randomly during the game. If you hit the snake right after the tone you will instakill the snake and get 10k. Ironically the only time I have done it, I had the audio muted. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariWarlord Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 GI Joe 5,850. I promise this is my last post of the day. I'm just excited that I've finally figured out the wonky controls so I can compete adequately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the game is what it is (and has been for almost 40 years) but if a programmer wants to make a game harder, make it harder within the gameplay -- not by purposely fouling the controls.

Novastar Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Here is my best so far. 27220 Also, the number at the bottom is how many times you have hit the snake. I feel that is useful to know as well since if you can take the snake out before it's shot kills your commando, sometimes that is better than hoping you can make it all across the screen for the save. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I tried to best my score last night and couldn't come even close. The score I posted was my first try at the game (ever). I have no idea what happened, but it's obvious it's not going to happen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-type Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I imagine this would be better with paddles. Keyboard is almost unplayable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
