EricDeLee Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Finally I'll dive into this game a bit more. I don't know a lot about it... so I'll be starting from scratch learning the ins and outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horst Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Not sure how this is possible but for the second time we are playing a game that I own but cannot find! I suck at using handy cause all the buttons seem reversed to me Its time for a Flash Cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricDeLee Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Here ya go... after a few failures and trying to figure out how to handle some of these aliens... I finally started to get the hang of it. I assume we are basically just putting the high score you get off of one guy right? Also... I'm not sure if it matters or not... but since the score starts over again with the next guy... but at the same level you are at... if someone picks up from say level 9 and on... won't they get a higher bonus and stuff for those levels than the beginning levels? What's the perimeters for this high score contest? Thanks and here's my first submission: 487,945 I played as the chick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horst Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) I've got work to do! 27,900 how do I take a screenshot on handy? I guess I could just take a pic of the screen. I need a gamepad of some sorts to do this handy thing. Do gamepads work with handy or am I wasting my money?

All I know is that I play it through Handy on my PSP. It is easy to take screenshots with that. I'm not really sure about the computer version of Handy as I have not done a lot with it.

I'm using a cheap USB controller on Handy and it works really good, but i have to press the Key Q on the keyboard to pause a game. To save a screenshot - select file then select BMP snapshot. see picture below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 I finally tried out this game. Man, it's hard! I did manage to score 76,775 on my second attempt, I think I finally figured out what I'm supposed to be doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninjabba Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 final score of today.. later levels (after the fire level) become incredibly hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 How in the hell???? wow...nice score. i have to figure out how you got there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjabba Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 all I can say is to be very carefully at the earlier levels to stay alive in the later ones.. and keep an electro gun close to you at all times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Yep... I need to revist and try to get through the first few levels without being hit nearly at all. That would prolong my inevitable death I would think. LOL Electro Gun is the Yellow one... right? That seems to be the one I used the most. I think the last level I beat got over 100,000 in bonus items that I picked up. So I can imagine the score could rack up quite a bit in the later levels. I hate the fire levels. putting out fires, going back for your gun... putting out another fire... going back again. It sucks. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjabba Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 it will get more hectic in later levels when u take down the elevator, and 50 xenos are waiting for you to slice you up while you're still standing in the use-elevator position. Gawd, I hate those parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I beat it! Final Score for me on this game: 3,595,370 Fun game. It isn't too hard if you take a nice and cautious approach. I did have a lot of success slowly entering into a room (while firing the whole time) and then throwing a bomb so that it would wipe out a few Xenos when they are coming after you and spitting at you. As soon as I throw the bomb, I head back into the other room. A room of 10 or so Xenos will then have 6 or 7. Rinse and repeat until the room is completely empty. I still do not like the freakin' fire levels. But... if you approach them correctly... you can gain health rather than lose health. I didn't drop below 2000 on health until I hit the final 3 levels I believe. I kind of lucked out on the last level and the boss. At first I could not figure out what the heck I should do. I almost lost all of my health farting around trying to figure that part out! Thank God I figured it out. I don't think I would of had the strength to go through it again. Overall... Had I bought this back when it first came out, I would have really got my money's worth out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjabba Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 damnit! Again you go around beating my score like that my only problem here is that I dont have time to run through the entire game that fast... will try tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It truly sucks when your job interferes with your Lynx/handy playing. Time for a new job I think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
