Hyper Force - better manual / rules of the game ?

[+grips03]

Did anyone ever write a better manual for Hyper Force?

 

The game is a little confusing. 

Such as:

1) After killing a bad guy they sometimes they leave something behind to pick up.  Is that for health or weapon power up or both? 

2) I think the weapon upgrade purchased between levels only lasts until gone or you go to the next level, depending on which occurs first, right?  Does the weapon upgrade disappear if you lose a life?  Can you have more than one weapon upgrade?

3) What is capsule on the upgrade/buy screen? 

4) Can you keep buying the same weapon, does it help or just waste money?

5) If you buy a weapon it seems to come with ammo, but there looks to be extra ammo one can purchase, does the extra ammo do something for the entire game or just that level?

6) In general is there a good description for the upgrade screen? 

7) The manual does not even mention if you keep running into the indestructible gray metal orb that there will be a count down from 100 to exit the level.  

 

In general the game has its faults, but at the same time its sort of fun. I just wish the manual better described how the game behaves.

Does anyone know how to beat City 4?  There are two sides to this level with 3 platform elevator in the center.  I see dashed green lines on the right side where you can destroy the blocks, but I've not seen a green switch to trip.  Also up until now switches usually remove solid color lines.

I've never played it unfortunately but, judging by the responses here... no one else at ATARI AGE has either! WOW!!

 

Whod've thought it...

Ha!  I'm sure that people have played it, I have and I think it's a nice game?

 

I can't say from the top of my head how to beat city lvl 4.

The answers to the questions that grips03 asked, are not that hard to find imo as the pickup and use of items are pretty much self explanatory.

It's been years since I played the game, but I don't remember being confused by any of the weapons.

I'm figuring it out as I go.  The game is not as bad as some reviewers say it is, but it does have it issues.  If you like a slow action game where you need find hidden switches and you don't mind going back and forth in a level to do so, then this game is for you.

I like this game. It was one of the high score club games within the last few months. I think the biggest flaw of the game is that it can be difficult to navigate especially after the first couple of levels.

At Rocket 3 the game is getting difficult.

I have almost finished this game.....it is difficult. It needs a map system with locations marked. It can be brutal to find your way. Just save a lot. Wish I could remember hints for ya, but I just muddled thru it.

 I think that is close to where I left off....

If you finish it, let me know if the juice is worth the squeeze!
