PressureCooker2600 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Still haven't broke my hi-score but here are some more tips: On the beginning waves....I do what I call "cleansing"....where I got straight down shooting to the left and straight up shooting to the right. Instead of going back and forth, I do that. Towards the faster levels, I tend to just take a half of the section and stay there.....and concentrate on those instead of madly going up and down all the level. There's less of a chance of screwing up that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) improvement...... SERIOUS difficulty jump once you get to the second "blackout" level. 62,440 I'm gonna have to take a break, I'm getting too frustrated at not being able to pass this level.

Impaler_26 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Cool, what a fast paced mania game! I've only played it a few times in emulation before so i'll start with a first entry of: 51,890 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 This isn't much of a tip, but shoot the arrows before they turn into tanks. Not only are the tanks harder to deal with, but they're worth fewer points. Arrows are worth 100 points. Tanks are only worth 50. Also, the prizes are worth a whopping 800 points, so grab them as often as you can. I didn't see any scoring in the manual, but those are the ones I know of. I didn't know the screen rolls at 100K. I don't have much further to go, I guess. Too bad there isn't a Turmoil II tournament cart. Time to go roll the score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 69300 Damn....I was almost about to break the 70k mark and then I choked.....and there went all my lives. I was 'in the zone' and I lost my concentration. I still haven't gotten past the second black-out level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PressureCooker2600 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Is Ze_ro not counting scores after someone has rolled it? I can see most people making it to the 100k mark by the end of this week's contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 (edited) Is Ze_ro not counting scores after someone has rolled it? I can see most people making it to the 100k mark by the end of this week's contest. That is basically the High Score Club tradition of stopping once the game has been flipped. Oh, by the way, it does get extremely hard once you get to 70,000 Some tips. Stay in the slow moving lanes when it starts to get hectic in the higher levels. Also, although you can't kill the tanks coming at you head on. Remember they can not kill you coming head on when you are constantly firing at them. If you start to get frantic and nervous in the later levels you can camp out with the tanks by constantly pressing the firing button until the level starts to calm down.

Deteacher Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 (edited) I finally rolled the score. Pic #1 shows the score right before rolling. Pic #2 shows the next level with the score rolled. Pic #3 is my final score...115,410. Levels 8 & 9 are really tough! I started level 8 with all my lives and blew through 5 of them in that wave. Level 9 didn't waste time kicking my butt.

theking21083 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I have rolled the score quite a few games but I can't beat my high score. I guess it really doesn't matter. I can't wait till the next game starts. I always get so anxious as to what it will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
