Suggestions for next version of THRUST+

Recommended Posts

Please....make it EASIER (even easier than difficulty 5 in the current version)! :) Give us an option to make the pod indestructable when you're carrying it, or at the very least, give us the ability to add some more lives!

 

I've gotten better, but even still, I doubt I have any chance at ever finishing Thrust+ Platinum. :(

There will be no more Thrust. Platinum is the final version.

The Al's have stated that they won't sell another version even if Thomas

makes another "improved" edition.

 

What do people have against a challenge anyway ?

I find the game too easy as it is on Game 3 now. :P I have to keep trying the "extra" levels on Game 4.

 

If you can't get the hang of it on game 5 there is something wrong. ;) That game is like flying thru water, everything is very slow and the gravity stops you from swinging side to side. Game 5 is Super Easy man.

Life's too short to keep making tweaks to the same game over and over. Thomas has other challenges to tackle! :D

Game 5 starts out easy and I have no problems up until the Reverse Gravity stages begin. That's when the difficulty goes up a notch (as well as the gravity). I find the later reverse gravity sections difficult when navigating with the pod in tow.

 

I am saddened by the sudden realization of my severely lacking gaming skill. Perhaps the time has come for me to move on to more "senior citizen" types of games. Games like MINIATURE GOLF, BOWLING, VIDEO CHECKERS, FISHING DERBY, MYST, and ANIMAL CROSSING. :|

Don't get down on yourself, I played the hell out of this game before I ever came close to finishing it. Probly the better part of a month or two was spent playing this game. When I would get a game over, I would try again, and then again.....

 

Practice makes perfect. ;) 8)

 

And trust me it feels great when you finally beat it. You work on something long enough you will get it. :thumbsup:

Oh, trust me. :) I know that my skills are not as good as they once were. I blame it on the slower paced games I played on the Mac/PC/Next Gen systems over the last decade. I've accepted it to some degree, but Thrust+ in particular has been a nice wakeup call for me that just proves that real gaming is about practicing, memorization, and dedication...something that's been lost in the last few generations of gaming hardware. :)

 

I'll keep at it, and I may actually try playing it with a Genesis controller since you said your NES pads make the game a bit easier to play. ;)

And you haven't even met the "deadly something" yet. :evil:

I noticed that you changed your status. So did you give up already? :?

Yeah, you don't want to be converting Thrust II. That game was an appalling piece of crap. A good case of Sequelitis if I ever saw one.

Oh no, not yet! ;)

I'll keep at it. Sooner or later I'll figure out some obvious technique or trick on those sections. Just need to practice some more, I guess. :)

 

You certainly have to fight for every inch in this game!

Thomas keeps promising no more updates to Thrust, but after the last 50 updates, can we really trust him? I'll give it another year, before I believe anything... :ponder:

I am still working on getting the video to albert. I sent him a pm but haven't heard back. I have it down to 39 minutes in a new video, and have to have my brother capture it from vhs to the computer. It should look a lot better than the one I have now, which was the big one that I compresed with software.

 

Once you see the video you will see how to stop the ball from swinging in a small amount of space, both on regular gravity and reverse.

That would be great! I have the most problems on the reverse gravity parts whenever the ball swings around so that it's directly OVER your ship. Once that happens in a particularly narrow corridor, I find it difficult to correct my ship's position.

So when's the sequel coming out?

Thrust II? Not from me!

 

But aren't you working on Thrust++ Thrust Even Harder. That's still a sequel, isn't it :?

 

 

j/k :P

Someone already did a "Thrust: Harder" joke.

 

So I really have nothing to say here.

 

(Except that one of these days, hopefully the Mac version of Stella will get updated, so I can actually play Thrust.)
