Deteacher Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 4 hours ago, AtariWarlord said: 14,429. This game certainly requires patience. That's where the game gets ya. The manual states that if you don't hit one of the power generators in 15 seconds, the top shield advances down once. 15 seconds is more time than you might think, but you FEEL like you have to rush. In actuality, you have time to plan your shots out. Like you said, patience is key. It gets real hectic when you're working on that 3rd generator while the bottom shield is closing in on you. This game really has it all, in my opinion. Even though it's beatable, it keeps you coming back for more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Atari_Warlord Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 At first I thought the bin I was using was broken as I couldn't get the game to start. A quick glance at the manual helped. 20,807 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Never heard of this game. Looks at a Youtube video for a few seconds to see what I'm supposed to shoot at, 1st try B/B 1 Emulaton play 31,495 The game stopped... I guess I won it?! I learned as I was shooting and saw I only had 1 ship left and started to plan escapes ''off the screen'', I learned NOT to play it like Mothership in Phoenix... the shaded lines arent openings for shots! ? ? Edited July 20, 2020 by JacobZu7zu7 Nevermind the score. Gotta Play X 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbag Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) 33,290...Gbag...I find this game very suspenseful!!! I actually died as my last shot killed “It” so I got the bonus but I didn’t beat the game. Second pick is a round I survived.

Rogerpoco Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) Deathtrap-33,048 Good chance I'll go back in, but I'm glad to have beaten "It", took me a few tries... *Edit* Ya, improved this a bit already, but only a tad, I'll wait to see if I improve more. Addictive game, was when I studied it before, still is. Edited July 22, 2020 by Rogerpoco 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Got the left generator down! I like this game. Glad I have the analog stick on the ps3 controller, 'cause that dpad was not doing the trick. Losing points is a bummer feature too. 10,855 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwieland Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 A little better, but I still didn't beat it. I think I hit the center generator 6 or 7 times too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason_Atari Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 The death sound on this game sounds so familiar. I just realized what it sounds like, the death sound on Impossible Mission on the Commodore 64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrMooCowz Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I'm probably not revisiting this one again, but I am curious on why the scores are different for people? I've not paid attention to the scoring when I played, because I'm constantly avoiding that damn bullet and trying to find gaps in the shield to look through.
