A few folks blew out their scores last time so lets start on Skill 3

[Goochman]

Embarassing 16,000 - no pic

[JellE]

Okay... so where do I get the ROM for this game? I went to Atarimania, and dl'd it, but it is an .atx file... how do I play that?

Thank you so much... I got it...I can already tell I am gonna seriously suck at this game!

[PressureCooker2600]

Ok...which set of patches am I supposed to DL?

 

The first set listed or the second set?

[JellE]

I actually got the .atr from here: http://frevay.pl/atari/menu/gry/games/inde...&sortMode=s

 

After downloading the emu and patch... for some reason it doesn't work anymore.

[Goochman]

23600 - the evil mastermind is fast in this one

[JellE]

Okay... I think I finally figured out how to play this... 23,000

 

[Goochman]

36000 - for some reason I could not hit one of the 'windows' on the last screen...............

[Bunsen]

It's really a long time ago that I played this game last time...

 

...but I haven't forgotten how to play it.

 

46,600

 

Sorry, no pic (playing on real hardware and lazyness )

[pseudografx]

Hmm, I don't like this game too much, but here is my score.

29200

 

[PressureCooker2600]

10,600

 

Damn...this game is hard.

[Christos]

I can't understand this game. 1600 just a participation. See you on the next one.

Goal is to brealk through the mad overloads defenses to destroy his hideout:

 

1. Dont go to the first landing towards the top (the maze one with the ship)

2. First up is aircraft - really just try to shoot down the planes

3. Ships - when you fire it will tell you how far short/long you are to adjust the angle

4. When done with the ships land on the beach

5. Tanks - manuver the tank through the obstacles shooting the gun positions

6. Overlord hideout - need to adjust your aim and shoot the winodows with the 'light' on before the turret turns and shoots you

 

For the last screen its impossible to finish all the windows on 1 try - so you need atleast 2 if not 3 tank runs to finish him off.

[pseudografx]

Wow, I just matched Goochman's score

36000 pts

My advice: You can easily get past 20000 points by focusing on the small red planes, which are worth 2000 points.

I had another strategy: You HAVE to go to the landing on the top (maze with ships). For every ship you navigate through the maze you will get 3000 points. After that precede with aircraft. It will be MUCH easier. You will save more ships/lives.

 

One time I followed goochman's strategy and only got half of my highscore.

I lost too many ships with the top part - good bonus but after the airpplanes/ships on level 3 I couldnt make it to the beach!
