RetroRob Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Stargate/Defender II - 57700 Not using the special weapons actually improved my skills! ? In later waves where no humans were left to save the best option was to try to just go in one direction at full speed. Dodge, pass, turn, shoot, pick up speed again. It's also worthwhile not to rush clearing a wave too quickly as after a while additional aliens appear dropping some extra points! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariWarlord Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 55,900. After this is over I look forward to seeing if I can get a better score when using smart bombs (I never use hyperspace in Stargate -- it's awkward and it's easier just to use the gate for the same purpose). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Rats. I should have read all the instructions above. I've been playing a bit but I used smart bombs. At any rate, I'll still share my controller setup! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorfy Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 The key really does seem to be to take your time and not rush. But I'm having a hard time learning that lesson. Small improvement (after much play): 37,400 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austinblair Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) 5850. I know if you ain’t first youre last doesn’t mean anything in life, but man it’s a semi-bummer my dads the MAN at video games and I’m not very good at them lol. FeeL abit of a letdown. Need to practice more. I played this atleast 40 times. I’m not a hardcore gamer. Nor am I any decent at this ?
