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. (default)

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

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.

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.
