darthkur Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 1,203,775 Not sure if I can do any better. Any humans after level 31 pretty much evaporate immediately. It is nearly impossible to do this with one controller at that point, I need to be able to fire behind me. Only have one gamepad for computer and have not come up with a way to hold both prolines at the same time for the TV. There should be time this weekend though to come up with a holding contraption for the prolines. I'm amazed that anyone could score that high without using two controllers.

xZanU Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I'm amazed that anyone could score that high without using two controllers. Lots of practice. I played this from 8pm to 11pm straight. After the (who knows how many games) I finally got up to level 35 with a reserve of 7+ lives. Then they started dropping like flies. Mostly just ran in circles, doing left-right trying to take out a couple grunts at a time. The gamepad really helps as it is super responsive. Though I did notice a few times that It would not fire even though I was moving in one direction and holding down the fire button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is incredible that you can get that high without being able to aim in a direction you are not moving to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) 1,567,875 I went back to playing Robotron on the emulator. I wasn't getting better playing Robotron on the actual system. I keep getting around 1 million points, and my hands were getting sore. I my opinion Robotron is much more difficult on a emulator. The bulletproof guys are not green but yellow, the same color has the Grunts. It's sometimes hard to tell them apart. And not knowing were the game border is at, i'll lose a couple lifes thinking i have room to move around but i don't. Tip- When playing on a emulator use the controller to move and the arrow keys to fire. Edited February 21, 2009 by roadrunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xZanU Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Boy. Using two different input methods at once is going to take some getting used to. It's a bit late to get into a long string of attempts but my first three games (using gamepad and keyboard) were fun. I keep running into bad guys because I am not shooting in the same direction anymore, so it may be hard to retrain, but I will try again tomorrow. EDIT: Well its 'tomorrow' and I have not been able to break out of the 700,000 range using both the gamepad and the keyboard. It probably would have been better starting that way to begin with. In any event, I will keep at it until the end of this round. Edited February 23, 2009 by xZanU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famicommander Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 4,857,000 Bam. Indeed. How are your hands feeling? Not bad. I duct-taped two Pro Line controllers to a 2x4, which I set on my lap. It works pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdement Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Wow, people are good at this game. I felt lucky to break 6 figures. But after setting up MESS and using a dual thumbstick controller I almost doubled my score. 322,950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuf Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Just playing tonight and hit 10 million on level 350..and the damn thing rolls over to 0 at 10 mil!!! Kills any opportunity for the glory screenshot. The levels roll over at 100 and the score rolls over at 10,000,000...how do you document a high score with this cart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kills any opportunity for the glory screenshot. The levels roll over at 100 and the score rolls over at 10,000,000...how do you document a high score with this cart? Since it doesn't have a "score board" like the version for the Lynx does the only way to document something like that would be to either take several still shots with a camera or video. To make an official submission to Twin Galaxies you would need to video record the game in it's entirety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
