Has anyone finished laser Gates by Imagic?

[bergbros2]

I tried to finish the game but always lost before the final gate, either by dying or running out of time. I always had to go fast at the end because the time was not long enought to go at regular speed. What happens at the end? Any fanfare? Or does it just end?

[Shaggy the Atarian]

I didn't even know that this game has an ending. I guess that means a no for me.

 

How can you find out if you're close to the last gate or not? I don't recall there being any level or gate indicators...

[bergbros2]

Read the instructions. They say that there are four CPU's to overcome to win the game. So, I assume there is an ending.

Yes, but the last gate is guarded by AtariAge's own CPU(wiz), and ain't nobody getting past him!

and he's protecting the only known copy of Air World behind the gate.

I finished it a few times back in the 1980s. It must not have been that great of an ending or it seems like I would have remembered something about it. I love the game though.

[StanJr]

finished? It finishes? Oh my.

 

Time for some Laser Gates!

 

Good to see you again, bergbros!!

 

Nice ET Cube, RT

are you sure? I thought the 2600 version didn't end... ?

Better yet, has anyone finished the sequel to Laser Gates..... Yes, before you scratch your heads... there was a sequel by Dan Oliver.. but not from Imagic. I leave you folks to do some research to find the game.

 

There was a contest and a prize for finishing the sequel, but I have never heard of anyone completing it.

Rescue Terra I

 

I should've put a stipulation that kept CPUWIZ from answering

 

 

RT1 is an incredible game. Hard as hell though...

You would have had to extend that stipulation to about 50 other AA members.

Actually wasn't Laser Gates the sequel? It was done by Venturevision but licensed to Imagic after they went under.

I hope that is correct because Laser Gates looks much better and is more fun. If it was the other direction, I'd think the programmer got hit in the head before he made Rescue Terra I. I don't like that game and not just because the first 20 billion meteors look like upside down strawberries.

I'm sure I'm right because the whole point of Rescue Terra I was get to the planet. Laser Gates takes place on the planet (it was originally called Inner Space I think). There was also a third game planned that never got started.
