Intellivision HSC Season 12 - Game 5 - TRON Deadly Discs


Recommended Posts

??

I forgot what to do to the orange guys when they came out....

I love this game because when you do something great like take three enemies out with one throw,its an incredible feeling.

Or making 3 great shots in a row in different directions if you get surrounded. 

So much fun!

One great tactic when you get a higher score is keep one enemy alive until another comes out so you dont have to defeat a recognizer.

Buuuut....the recognizer is 100k points when you get to that point!  Tough call, but you will build your score faster when you destroy recognizers.

Nice! Doesn't really take much for your scores to grow quickly at that point. Just a couple rounds away from 100k, and from there, you get 10k per kill, 50k per fast round clear, and 100k per recognizer!

This game sometimes feels like one of those dreams where you try to run, but you can't move your legs properly! 

 

The number of times I've tried to reach a door and it's been like Tron's running through quicksand! Slowdown is quite bad at times (that's my excuse anyway!) ?

The second hit really slows you down.  Be very carefull with the brown discs.  One hit from a brown disc counts for two.

I guess that's me not reading the instructions properly again! I didn't realise it was supposed to slow down. ?

You start out with 3 hits to kill you, and slow down with each. At 20k and 100k points each, you get another hit to a max of 5.

 

The bulldogs and guards also slow down when you put hits on them, but everyone else is either full speed or de-rezzed.
