Ze_ro Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Important Note: This weeks competition is over and no further scores will be accepted. The evil Gravitar has set out to destroy the universe! His deadly weapon? Gravity! Gravitar bombards unsuspecting galaxies with his hostile gravitational forces. He then installs a powerful reactor within each solar system of the defeated galaxy, creating a killer sun that destroys all life on the surrounding planets. He blockades those planets with lethal rammers and with automated bunkers programmed to shoot. So far, Gravitar has conquered four galaxies, each made up of three solar systems. And intelligence reports hint that our galaxy may be next. Gravitar must be stopped before he adds our galaxy to his list!

In case you don't have the manual, AtariAge has a typed copy available online. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide any specific hints, though it may still prove worthwhile to read it. We played this game once before in the High Score Club, way back in 2004. katana if you want to turn through a tight spot turn around the opposite direction your going and hit the gas in that direction slowing you down and turning at the same time. and on the dark levels you can shoot the planet and it will show it for a short time. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pioneer4x4 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Has anyone made it through the maze and back? Is the timer for both ways, or just to get in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 the timer is for both ways if you make it there and back a new set of planets open up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer4x4 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 the timer is for both ways if you make it there and back a new set of planets open up. Ugh, I can't make it through without crashing... I need a better touch, maybe I'll try a different stick, I think my Wico I've been using favors left and down too much.

I need a better touch, maybe I'll try a different stick, I think my Wico I've been using favors left and down too much. also i forgot to mention if you want to open up a new set of planets you can also detroy all the things on each planet on that level too or just go through the maze and back. im sure you've made it to the target in the middle, but in case you hav'nt you shoot it dont touch it.

Zoyx Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 (edited) On the board - 5300 7150 7600 13750 Using my wico stick for this one. Experimenting with the foot pedal for the tractor beam. I keep hitting the tractor beam at inappropriate times otherwise. Foot pedal seems to be working. Edited February 27, 2010 by Zoyx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymailman Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 New best for me. I still can't believe how fast the difficulty ramps up. Level 1 isn't too bad, but I still can't complete Level 2. Who did they get to play test this thing, Todd Rogers? 22,750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
