AtariSphinx Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Reactor (1 B/B): 42,391 Some improvement. This one reminds me a bit of Gravitar in how how have to manage the physics, make small movements, avoid touching the ground/walls, and the later levels you cannot see the walls. Like that one it takes a bit to grow on you. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I will say that this is a little awkward with a joystick and feels a lot better and more natural with a trackball even if it’s not much easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I was hoping to break 100K but I think this is probably going to be it for me this week. Once I'm in the dark with the unshielded core and run out of lures it's just game over for me every time >_< Reactor (Game 1, B/B Difficulty): 97,448 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I kind of gave up on using lures. Has anybody found a way to use them effectively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’ve put one by a wall, making it easier to knock things into it. I also put one in one of those corner zones and it got some guys to go in and bounce around for points. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather get the 500 points at the end of the game. When I do use them, I place them near an entrance to the corner zone as @fakecortex suggests. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Aw man!!! This reminds me of the physical strength assessment where you're supposed to hold your arm up and the assessor tries to push it every which way and you're supposed to keep it upright. If you don't know what I'm talking about you're lucky 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 This game has one of my favorite scoring mechanics: the pinball style point bonus after you die. This is NOT a score improvement, but: back on real hardware, baby! And now I can really say that the trackball doesn’t really make it easier, just a little more fun to play. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
