shadow460 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 (edited) This competition has ended. It's boot camp gone wild! Aliens have invaded Earth and mind controlled innocent citizens. Your friends have been acting odd lately, and your neighbors, well, maybe they're just being normal. It's all well and good until you learn a secret weapon is capable of taking over the entire planet, and it in the possession of a deadly Alien Brigade! Game Information: This week's game: Alien Brigade Controllers supported: XE Light Gun, SMS Light Phaser (modified), ProLine Joystick Difficulty Switches: n/a Game Mode: Advanced Scores may be posted in this thread until November 15th at approximately 10 PM Central Time. Next week's game will be chosen by popular vote from the following: Tank Command, Xevious, Food Fight, and Crossbow. Simply vote in the poll for next week's game.

Current High Scores 1. silver_surfer 897,500 2. birdie3 168,000 3. keilbaca 12,010 Shadow's First Play of the Week score 84,000 Member List (post a score to join!) silver_surfer, keilbaca, Mind Game, birdie3 Hints and Tips From the book: Watch out for the real humans you are supposed to protect. Humans that have been taken over by aliens move more slowly. When your squad is hit by alien fire, your screen's border flashes red. Try to avoid this. Getting hit by alien fire is bad for your health. Watch out for small mine laying subs in the underwater scenario. Picking up items as you move through each scenario is vitally important. Shoot small objects to reveal items hidden beneath. Don't ignore your tranceiver! Understanding your mission is critical.

keilbaca Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 ADVANCED, GAME COMPLETED, 897,500 EDIT: SEGA Phaser works much better than ATARI XE Lightgun. 963986[/snapback] Holy crap dude. I can't get past the first mission, but then again I haven't figured out how to use the lightgun yet. Looks like its time to raid the instruction manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted November 12, 2005 Author Share Posted November 12, 2005 I'm with keilbaca here--I made it to the end of hat appeared to be the first level, then it reset. By the way, you can use any controller you want with the games we play. I just listed a couple of the more common ones here to kinda get things started. When we get games like Asteroids that work with the CX-40, I'll list that, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 (edited) Not to be cocky or anyhting but I like to think I'm one of the best ATARI lightgun game players there is. EDIT: I can't wait for Barnyard Blaster to come about. The only Lightgun game I'm not very good at is Meltdown I can only get to about level 16 or so before I die, and thats a task to play it that long cause I think the game is the worste of the lightgun series.

birdie3 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Well.. Maybe the SEGA SMS modded controllers are better. Unfortunately I do not own one of those. I will post more scores later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like its time to raid the instruction manual 964089[/snapback] BIG TIP: In the last level shoot the end of the cobra's tail not him directly also to get a wicked score at the very end as long as you have decent health, just keep shooting the aliens coming out if the mother aliens sack and just keep her at bay untill you feel like finishing the game. It can be a gamble at times cause you can die but its worth it for the score you get. It took me a long time to figure this stuff out so I thought I would pass the good word.

shadow460 Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 (edited) Yeah, the contest is for the advanced level. From now on, just consider each game to be at the hardest setting unless otherwise noted. I don't know much about Alien brigade, so I didn't turn it all the way up. If you want to do different game modes, be my guest, but the only official scores are the ones with the settings listed. Also, I'm going to try to post a "snapshot score" in lieu of the Twin Galaxies ones. It'll be easier to beat, because it'll be me or someone I know IRL just sitting down to the game and recording the score they get on the first play. I know keilbaca and Mind Game have access to Mean 18 on original hardware. I have it, and I know that either silver surfer or birdie3 has it coming in the mail. Would ya'll be interested in playing Mean 18 in the future? Edited November 13, 2005 by shadow460 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 (edited) Good. I'll put it [Mean 18] in the voting next week. birdie3, you won't be disappointed in it. Hey, try to get me a score from Alien Brigade's advanced mode, ok? I'll replace what's on the scoreboard with it. I thought about putting it in this week, but Tank Command is also R7, and I didn't want to have two rare games in the same week. Trust me, Tank Command is as much fun as Mean 18. I can't wait for the chance to buy a cart of it instead of having to emulate it. Edited November 13, 2005 by shadow460 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 Hey, Mind Game, have you persuaded keilbaca to get you a CC2 yet? I wanna figure out which games we've all got access to. I'm sure a couple of us use standard carts, but I know there are others with the CC2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 (edited) This competition has ended The school cafeteria must have really served something good this time. Since no one could guess today's mystery meat, we're going to take up spoons and have a Food Fight!

I should've done waaayyy batter, I mean, butter, er, better! Member List (post a score to join!) silver_surfer, keilbaca, Mind Game, birdie3, video game addict, FireTiger, Mordax, Cybergoth, jedijeff Hints and Tips From the book: Watch out for open manholes, or Charley will fall in and lose a life! Keep an eye on the colors of the chefs. When the chefs are blue or yellow, they can't hurt Charley. In the higher levels, have Charley race to the cone immediately for the high cone points. You win an extra 500 points for each time Charley scrambles to a higher level. Use leftovers as ammunition whenever possible. Remember: If Charley's carrying food when he reaches the cone, he takes it [the food] with him to the next level. Other tips: Keep the chefs away from the food piles when possible. Try to either use of defend each pile. If a chef reaches the food, be prepared for a barrage. Move to your own food pile and let loose on the chefs. This will give you a few seconds' breather. From my co-worker: Watermelon never runs out. If you stand on a watermelon, you can throw as much of it as you like.
