IntyFanMatt Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 One of the few games I don’t have. Never heard anything good about it though. You guys enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've never played and you see it for a good price, I recommend it. Like many other intellivision games, it has its share of flaws, but also its charms. It has hardly left my Intellivision since I got it 3 or 4 weeks ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I’ll see if I can find it but I’m not that motivated to get it. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy62 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 This is going to be hopefully fun and interesting for me,because I gotta admit,for whatever reason I have never actually played this game!?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what's great about HSC! ? It's decently entertaining, and changing height is a fun tactic/escape mechanism. The meat of the game is definitely in target selection, so be sure to check out the instructions for score values. Also, it's really satisfying when you nail both sides of a bridge! ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intelligentleman Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Anyone know how to predict when the enemy fighters will appear? I can't make sense of it... Can't tell if it's score based or random or position based Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as good as 1942 but definitely the same sort of game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Ok folks, what am I missing here? What can you shoot at? I'm only hitting things with my bombs. Do I have to be at certain altitudes? I feel like you fly faster when you're lower. I read the instructions, so I'm getting a good idea of the high point targets and I'm remembering to fly low on the runways.

wolfy62 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I am definitely going to read the booklet first on this one. For years I was dumb enough to think I wouldn't learn anything from reading them,that I was too good at video games. And then there was the lazy part,oh man that's most of it! Too lazy to take it out and read because I didnt have the patience to wait to play a game. Or attempt to play it that is! No wonder I always got lousy scores.? I have found since I started reading the game book about six months ago, there are always tips on what to do and how to get more points I would never have figured out on my own. When in doubt, Take the instructions out!? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For our reference: https://www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM/Mattel_Intellivision//Manual/formated/Mission-X_-_1983_-_Mattel_Electronics.pdf 11,000 Here's a quick run down that should help. I had some of these same questions when I first started playing a month ago or so. For the most part, you're going to be bombing the targets below. You cannot shoot the surface-to-air missiles that come up at you. You can dodge them left and right. Or, by diving down or climbing up. Occasionally, other fighter planes will attack you. They will match your altitude, but dodging left and right still works. You can also blast them with your cannons. It's important to get a feel for what your plane looks like at the various altitudes and what the missiles look like. It's entirely possible to fly right through a missile if you're sufficiently above or below it. Hope that helps! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At game over, press a side button and it shows back up. Glad I read the instructions for that one cause I was confused at first too. Thanks for the tips Intelligentleman! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
