AtariSphinx Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 10 hours ago, fakecortex said: *gasp* I do agree that it leaves much to be desired. I want turbo! There’s approximately 97 variations and none of them are turbooooo Fully agree that is the main issue. Most paddle games use paddles because of the speed in which can move across the screen. This one moves slow enough where a joystick would probably work better. For some reason the paddle accuracy/ smoothness of movement is not great either so that may be why they might have dialed the speed down. It is not bad but also nothing to make you come back for more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonhrb Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Improvement on Guardian. Don't think I'd enjoy this one much outside the HSC, but the challenge of trying to get up the high score table makes an otherwise pretty uninspiring (albeit by no means terrible) game a lot of fun. It almost recreates that social experience in early video games of a family or group of friends playing these quickfire games and trying to beat each others scores. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 There's a typo for nads score. It says 14950 instead of 47950. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 This looks great. But man does it accelerate from easy to insane in a hurry. 32250: I will get some real hardware time this weekend, I think, but I don't know that my paddles are up to this! EDIT: Some improvement... 36100 EDIT: Hooo-wheee, my wrist has had enough for now. 41000. What is the deal with the rings??? I shoot them sometimes two or three times dead on but they don't go away. Can you only shoot them when they're in a certain orientation? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atari_Warlord Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Sorry in advance to my partner! I don't have much free time at the moment and my paddles were pretty bad on this game. Guardian = 21,575 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 57150! My thumb needs to go to the ER now. It's funny, this game is very similar to Alien Raiders, a paddle game I've been playing a lot on the Microvision. I have to say, I think the Microvision game is more fun. In it, you autoscroll up and down as raiders come from the right. You can only stop at the top or bottom of the screen. You have to modulate the length of the beam to catch the raiders, but you have limited fuel so you can't keep firing forever. Also, firing slows you down, so if one of the raiders is getting close to the left edge you have to stop firing to give you a chance to catch it. It's a very compelling game despite the 1 bit graphics! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kermit73 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Guardian: 62700 I didn't spend much time on this one (only played 3 games). I think the key to higher scores would be to just hover near one of the planets and focus all your attention on only the fire on a path to take out the planet, especially in the faster rounds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Spent some more time with this one, and my tolerance has decreased. I don’t like how you freeze when you get hit, which only makes the choppy controls choppier. Minuscule score increase, but this is likely my last go of it. I’ve been losing two lives back to back and that’s just blech. On to the next round. 38,600 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMooCowz Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 *stretches* Let's see if I can unintentionally be median once again! According to history (at least when I joined the HSC), it's my turn to reclaim loner again! Season 7 Taz: No one got loner Season 8 Silver Pick/Gopher: Loner = DMC Season 9 Polaris: No one got loner Season 10 Adventures of Tron: Loner = DMC Season 11 Super Cobra: No one got Loner Season 12 Guardian: Loner = ?? 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to learn to lay off trying to turn as soon as I got frozen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
