darthkur Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Is it a dream, a nightmare or an alternate reality? You find yourself in space, inside a ship resembling a Klingon Cruiser and you're under attack. Oddly enough it's not enemy ships unleashing an all out assault on you but giant representations of everyday objects such as hamburgers, tires and dice. Is this some sort of cosmic joke or have you finally lost your mind? No time to ponder that question. If you want to survive this surreal experience you must fight and do so quickly. Wave after wave comes at you and there's only so much energy available to confront them with. So don't dawdle, set phasers on charbroil and don't let those horrendous bow ties get you. Emulators are fine as is whatever controller you feel the most comfortable with. Screenshots are great but not mandatory. Settings:Initial settings - guided missiles.

+Cafeman Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I played a few rounds on A800win. The biggest mistake a beginner can make on some screerns is to hold in his fire button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bohoki Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) So far I got to 82,780. Will improve on that on another day. yea its hard to set a benchmark early cause everybody wants to beat it this game reminds me of air sea battle cause you can move your shot after it has left the gun . also you are right my joystick has autofire it helped me in moon patrol but i can only get 16000 on a good day so put me down for 16670 cause i suck Edited January 20, 2009 by bohoki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I am remembering the strategy, and its the same regardless of which system you play on. When the ice cream sandwiches and tires especially start coming in fast, you have to hold your fire and then press the button right when the objects are moving above you. Else, if you keep auto-firing, your shot timing will always be off , you'll be waiting for the top-screen shot to go away and your next shot to come out, which usually makes you get hit. Patience, grasshoppa. Wait till you see the whites of their eyes. So to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthkur Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 i pressed * and i think it may be easier for me cause i can kind of know to lead the targets and move gaah i hate this game more than congo bongo That's using another setting, which is the non guided missiles. I was hoping that everyone would find the guided projectiles easier and therefore having everybody on equal grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BydoEmpire Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) Had a chance for a few quick games via emulator: 37,380. Never played the 5200 version before, I need to pick it up on cart. That darn second wave of eyes destroyed me. Edited January 29, 2009 by BydoEmpire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hey all!! A fairly fun game. 42,330 The 5200 is so much better with a 7800 D-Pad and a redemption module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
