Gravitar Tips?

[StanJr]

I SUCK at Gravitar. My high score is 250. I cannot steer the stupid little ship for anything, and if I make it to a planet, I ALWAYS crash. I understand the controls, but actually making it all work still eludes me. Help!

 

Gravity got me down, Stan

Give up and go back to spiderman or Raiders of the lost ark

Think "Thrust". The controls are about the same. It makes a good game to get the hang of it a bit more. You may want to use controlled bursts to keep yourself aloft and moving, but never overdo it.

Actually, you need to think 'way back' to Lunar Lander.In Gravitar,anywhere you see the colored 'land' gravity will pull you down,including sideways or up--in whichever direction the colored 'land' is.The gravity in this game seems to be different from level to level,sometimes you need to tap the thrust little by little to get where you are going,other times you can't use enough thrust and get sucked into a wall.It's a tough game-I can only do well on the easy settings(I got to the anti-gravity level the other week) Good Luck!

Did you know?: The original Gravitar was a vector game? (and was also harder than penguin sh**)

Anyone remember Jupiter Lander on the good ol, commodore 64. "OUT OF SKY"

Yep. Still have Jupiter Lander cart for the C64.

Thanks for all the tips. I'm getting better, but I always move too fast and crash before I can turn around and slow down. I'll get the hang of it. Slowly but surely, thanks again. I've switched from the stick to the Genesis controller, the D-pad makes it a little easier for now...

 

I actually scored over 1000 tonight!

I'm on it...Raiders has got me down.

I'll post a zero-grav cheat if I find one.
