So I'd think smaller == more shooting == harder. Not what I mean. Same amount, just smaller would be better. More aliens are not needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace24 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 This was my 1st game. I took about 10 more attempts & couldn’t beat it. It felt nice to play Space Armada without a sore finger... (until the 2nd game) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some intellivision games take a long time to get interesting, then when they do, the Cliff is super steep. Shark Shark is another example for me. Right around 40-50 k it all falls apart. Which Is fine, except it takes 15 minutes to get there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get too close all the time and get swallowed, lol ? It's funny how some things in certain games are easy for some, but harder for others. Like the fully invisible levels in Space Armada for me are a breeze, but biting the Shark's tail is impossible for me, lol Edited July 15, 2020 by Rickster8 Added a little more text.

And use the dash button A LOT. There are some youtube videos out there showing that. Makes a huge difference!!

Rickster8 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I videoed a game I played lastnight. Got to 159k. There are few gimmicks I like to do with the red saucer. If I hit him to the side and the way is clear for another shot I will fire another one up with the hope that he might come back out. On the 5th screen I think it is I got him back to back. Also when he hovers low in the later screens you can hit him a few times, but remember you have to keep focusing on the Armada or they will land and destroy the Earth. ?
