Yes you could submit one for Emulation, but then it wouldn't beat the 56,400 record...... When you make videos for TG you have to boot up the console on camera, video the entire game and then when the game is over show your console and cartridge, you can do this before the game as well... Ah I see. Well, I've got the cartridge and my original console (it's actually on that I've got my best scores in the past). I'll have a look at hooking it up again some time soon and submitting a score to TG. Thanks guys. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Reminds me of Defender. Might give it another go, since it's arguably less complex than Horse Racing hahaha. Nova Blast - Cadet - 13,600 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how to do that? I'm emulating via an Ultimate Flashback/Raspberry Pi. Is there software you can get to do that? Hope you have original hardware to beat that record!!

Gernot Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Cool game i guess i like it, thus it is approved by the Pioneer Space Pilots Guild A score will follow, as usual my first game was better as the ones which followed, means after i scored a little above 20k i thought "not that hard"... well harder as i thought, you like to reach a better score and you only get worse - as usual. I had no idea how to refuel or that i can temporary protect the cities, after reading the manual i knew all that but it didn't helped me. However definitely a game for commander Jameson and a better Defender as Defender itself. Here's the multilingual manual for it: Nova Blast (1983) (Imagic) [!] (eur).pdf To get the easter egg screen press [1] on both controllers and reset (you can't return from it to the game). "NEW NOVA" if that isn't a doubling... i wonder how the "old" would have been. Off Topic One little thing, i always wonder how spaceships will maneuver only with giant main thrusters... The worst i saw was a "windoze" space strategy game which name i recently can't remember (i tossed the game sure it is archived but i never played it), however the giant spaceships move like fish in the sea and when they turn their "head" the ship will follow in this direction, the (edit: dunno if it really was midi) soundtrack of the game is quite good (that's why i tried it at all) but the animations cause me nausea. Far Gate, i guess it is Far Gate, yes it was Far Gate, some seem to like it but no for the age of it it is a very bad made game in my opinion. The game is from 2001 but the models look worse as some 3D space games from '95. Now i know why my friendly supporter says that my Courier (made in the same time when i started to get interested in 3D modelling) is one of the best looking. first version from around 2001, it uses less polys as it looks like here they are just carefully arranged (by hand i made this first edition using CarCAD for NFS4) One thing that explains the weakness of Far Gate a little it was made by a rather small team of up to 10 ppl, this might explain the leaks, it wasn't made by a big game studio.
