Play the game a few times, it slows down in your mind a bit-stop moving around like a madman. Sometimes you have to do it quickly, but for the most part you really only want to move one beam at a time. I agree with your point of using limited, controlled moves. I'm not so sure about the concept of "home base". Yes, staying close to the center allows for more movement than if you stayed at the extremities, but sometimes you just have to go with the flow. Also, do not be afraid to use torpedoes to survive and clear a path if your laterals become temporarily blocked. Recognizing when to use them is perhaps the most challenging aspect of the game. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmm, OK-I suck so bad at the Mothership, all I think about is saving the torpedoes for it, I hadn't really thought to use them strategically thru the levels, it REALLY makes me mad when there *seems* to be no escape route, but I guess that's it! Flow, definitely, just seemed like gravitating towards the middle gives the most options for "outs". And you ain't helping on advice to hit the Mothership, are, ya, lol! "Aim Better!!!" I know I am aware of you from here at AA previous to this, but tbh am scratching my head, can't remember. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I am aware of you from here at AA previous to this, but tbh am scratching my head, can't remember. I don’t know that there is a way to always hit the mothership... What helps sometimes is to stand still until the green blockers lock on you, then side step them quickly and send a torpedo. Most of the time I’m at the programming section of the forum, maybe you saw me there. This is just my second HSC season.

Man-I personally know how quickly you went from "I don't think I'll ever play that game", to moderately enjoying it, that is a FANTASTIC score, you're as dangerous on this game as any other!!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Wolfie.... thank you but unfortunately that’s another Intellivision master. He’s “Intellivision Master” and I’m IntellivisionMaster. ive had my nickname for almost a decade at YouTube, Twitch and Twin Galaxies, and he registered here at AA with the same nickname. I’m sure by coincidence. I think I should change my nickname here at AA to avoid confusion. Im Al. Nice to meet you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
