darthkur Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) It is said that Gorfians take no prisoners. It would be best to keep that in mind with their galactic armada bearing down upon our home-world. The Gorfians are ruthless tyrants that lust for the entirety of the universe to be in the firm, controlling grip of their empire. We are next in line. Waves of "astro invaders" descend upon our home. Blast them into infinity and then take off and face the aggressors in the cold airless void of space. If you can defeat their fleet you must warp towards their flagship and utterly destroy it. Can you preserve our freedom or are we doomed to be eradicated. Emulators are fine as is whatever controller you feel the most comfortable with. Screenshots are great but not mandatory. Please do not use any cheat/hack options. These include auto-fire, unlimited lives, invincibility, etc. Settings: Mission #1, Cadet level. (Default) !!!!We are using the excellent patched version of Gorf that allows for digital control. This makes, not only the gameplay much more authentic to the arcade version but way more playable overall.!!!! Gorf (Digital Controller Fix) Rom: gorfdigj.zip Contest ends on: 8-31-09 at 1:00am EST.

+Cafeman Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 You gotta watch out in the Lazer Attack stage - I've lost 2 lives in a row several times because the positions of your ship doesn't change after you die, thus sometimes I've been in line for a 2nd cheap death. Argh! Great port though. I remember playing this on the A8 years ago and being blown away. Glad the 5200 control has been fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bohoki Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 28,110 wow i suck i could only manage 3600 i didnt even realize you could go up down till later in the game the digital controller fix is amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariron82 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) 28,110 i didnt even realize you could go up down till later in the game the digital controller fix is amazing Yeah-- No doubt; I can hardly believe how excellent the control is in this patched version. In the original I was happy to break 10,000! Staying alive through the Lazer Attack stage(as was mentioned above)is the trick. Also, you can rack up points in the Flagship round by shooting the fragments that fly off from successful hits; just watch out for those pesky fireballs Edited August 30, 2009 by atariron82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoahsMyBro Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) 11,250 Man this is tough, and the joystick is killing my hand (CX-40). EDIT: 14,660 -- too lazy for a screenshot. This is easier with a gamepad. I wish I could play this on real hardware though. I'll bet the 5200 stick is great for this.

NoahsMyBro Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 @#$%&$(@)(&*@##&*%)($#^%)($)_!!!!! Shoot! I was having a great game, almost 12,000 with 3 or 4 men left, when all of a sudden my computer turned off the screen to save power! By the time I found the mouse and brought the screen back to life I'd lost all but one ship, and my rhythym was shot to hell. Seeing as there's only 10 minutes left, I'm done. 14,660 was my best. RangerG, I don't think I'm ever going to catch you in this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerG, I don't think I'm ever going to catch you in this thing. I hate when that happens. I've experienced that with Prosystem, the 7800 emulator, too. Unfortunately the only solution, other than turning off the screen saver/power conservation, is to try to remember to move the mouse every so often. Not the easiest thing to do when you get really immersed into a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 That's it for this round. Congratulations to atariron82 for being the Gorfian Empire's greatest foe. I hope everyone had fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
