Deteacher Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) Tied in with the movie "Krull". Playing Prince Colwyn, you must survive five events which repeat after completion. Increasing difficulty. It uses a dual joystick control panel. First event: Pickup the pieces (five) of your weapon... the glaive, avoid all boulders. Second event: Shoot the slayers, rescue your army (very much like Robotron). Third event: Pick up your army, lead it to the hexagon. Fourth event: Break down the front wall of the hexagon... when it is black. Fifth event: Save Princess Lyssa, avoid the beast, avoid his fireballs. Ok, I found myself playing this earlier today and it's one of my favorites. So, to spice things up this week (and to celebrate the end of my weekend obligations for awhile) all points earned this week will be doubled. Here's your chance to move up the ladder a few spots!

Lauren Tyler Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 18,290 Honestly, I wonder if the makers of the movie were trying to get some extra money by licensing this to video game form? Because I heard the film wasn't all that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 61,300 What an awesome game. I've never played this before. I love the sounds on this one. Very dynamic. I also love the dual stick "Robotron" action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 65,800 finally saved the princess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aftermac Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 61,110 Finally, made my way downstairs to my MAME cab and after a few games to adjust to the controls from my gamepad, I improved marginally. 65,800 finally saved the princess! Do you mean the second time through? If not, I'm wondering how you racked up that many points the first time through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, the first time through. Couldn't tell you - never played the game before and am not 100% sure of what I'm doing Did a quick run and at the end of the first 5 levels I had the following: 1 = 5060 2 = 16060 3 = 24560 4 = 35960 5 = 46060 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just curious because your previous score was 54,580 and you hadn't saved the princess. My 61,110 score was on the 3rd screen the second time through.

My 61,110 score was on the 3rd screen the second time through. Ah - yeah, that game I made it to the princess level w/out dying, but thought you had to kill the beast in order to save the princess. Didn't work of course, but scored a lot of points doing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) You can score a ton of points on the first board if you keep running up to the top of the board and stay right in front of a boulder. I managed to top 30K on the first board once. Edit: Here's a pic of me scoring over 24K on the first board. 30K is possible, but the longer you stay on the board, the faster the boulders move and the more they hone in on your position.
