user42 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I broke Gorf.... There I was on level M4 just playing away...When all of a sudden...the screen goes to "Player 1 Get ready" and I am taken to an alternate M5 where it looks like M4 but the flag ship is frozen (and invincible) and saucers show up, also invincible...and I'm just stuck here...

user42 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Not that the score really matters, (my high is 35540), but I finaly made "Space Warrior" I hope to hit Avenger before the contest ends... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt_Woloch Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 OK, here's my best so far... 14810. This game is quite different from the arcade original. As was to be expected from Coleco, they took way too many compromises (try the C-64 version for a comparison, which is also 16K long!). But at least, here all objects move at a consistent speed, which they don't do in the arcade original, which sometimes makes it hard to hit the enemies correctly. Oh, and I think they intentionally made the "invaders" in the first stage look completely different from the ones in the arcade, in order to prevent a lawsuit from Taito!
