Atarifever Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Why is it I blow up if I hyperspace with 4 similar sized asteroids on the screen or even three with one passing through the screen to look like 2? I never hit anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I dunno, but I noticed the same thing happens in the arcade version -- at least the one I've been playing on MAME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I believe in the manual it says there's a random chance of destroying your ship when you emerge from hyperspace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarifever Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 I believe in the manual it says there's a random chance of destroying your ship when you emerge from hyperspace. Not very "random" then. Four items on screen of similar size and I'm toast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Shoot them up first, then. Or thrust instead. Many times you can scoot away from danger, and the hyperspace should be used if you are completely surrounded or you're about to get broadsided.

atomickneedrop Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 yep, hyperspace was always like a last resort to me. it usually places me into trouble instead of safety anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxsolo2000 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I believe in the manual it says there's a random chance of destroying your ship when you emerge from hyperspace. It was the same in the arcade too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimsterAA Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Random chance = unfixed bug, er, 'feature'??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godzillajoe Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 There's nothing in the manual about dying in hyperspace. But I also assumed it was a "feature" or every Asteroids game no matter if it's arcade or home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarifever Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 There's nothing in the manual about dying in hyperspace. Yes there is. I think it's in the tips section maybe. It says something like "use hyperspace to... or you could die" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godzillajoe Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 OK yeah, took another look "To escape from the asteroid cloud, pull back on the controller handle to warp into hyperspace -- but watch out! You can be warped back at any time, or the warp could destroy your ship." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 There's nothing in the manual about dying in hyperspace. Page 6: "To escape from the asteroid cloud, pull back on the controller handle to warp into hyperspace -- but watch out! You can be warped back at any time, or the warp could destroy your ship."
