High Score Club 8.08 - Demon Attack

[JacobZu7zu7]

"I AM THE GREATEST SURVIVOR" - 394,465 - WAVE 240

 

 

Since I beat the previous 2600 HSC for this game (328,580 by the 5th ghost), here's my FINAL ATTEMPT!!

 

Now, I will play this game using Twin-Galaxies Tournament Settings (ONLY FOR STATISTICS):

Game 1 - Difficulty AA - 15 minutes TIME LIMIT.

For this variation, I will use my countdown.

 

That's a biotchen' score! You sure have longivity in the HSC.

Could last for days I bet... I can't play a tough game for too long, I get very fatigued.

It happened already with Atlantis.

 

I hope to hit the survivor score before the week is up!

 

By the way, oyama... are you by chance the Odyssey 2 fan from the Videopac.nl forums?

No, I'm not, JacobZu7zu7. I'm the member most active in 2600 HSC Forums, and not in other systems (NES, Intellivision, Atari 5200 / 7800 / LYNX / Jaguar, etc.)

For statistics, here's my score in 15 minutes: 44,570

I estimate that in 1 hour, I score 180K points. So, to get the WORLD RECORD (1,556,345 points by Paul Zimmerman), it will take circa 8 hours and 40 minutes.

Still a long way to 50K.

A classic... hope to get more time to play this later.

[JacobZu7zu7]

I'm a ... SURVIVOR!!! 61,220

 

Fighting demons and fighting an illness right now. I'm very happy with this score.

 

 

-Expert A I think is MUCH more difficult then difficulty B, If I remember correctly.

Some good fresh Tips, I hope someone can SURVIVE with them!

 

-On the wave with the big green demons who look like Frisbees,

These can be tricky, it's very tough to run under them, so what I do, is "wait" next to the demons fire, and for the lowest demons fire to dissolve, then quickly get under and shoot! Then swing back away before the demon fires again! This works like a charm to get passed this wave, around the (800 points) stage.

 

 

-When you reach the first wave when demons SPLIT

It's best to aim for the demons in the second and third rows above, by hitting these in two, or even destroying them over and over you can get rid of many waves of demons. That way there's less demon fire to dodge all the time, however you have to avoid or shoot the birdies that fly down at ya... which brings to the next tip.

 

- On the splitting demon waves.

Now to destroy the demon birds flying down at ya, you either try to get under them and shoot, and if that doesn't work, swing to left or right next to the "demon-bird" itself above, and then quickly get back under it, and shoot again! This usually puts the birds in shooting range to kill 'em. Keep swinging left and right of these birds to kill 'em, and if you can't swing far away, hopefully away from any demon ships firing above!

YOU SHOULD TAKE A RISK and kill the birds flying down, so you can concentrate more on finishing the wave. Only if you can get a good shoot do you want to run from the birds,

as they can make you run into demons fire.

 

 

-Having trouble getting backed into corners by Demon fire?

Well, maybe a little known fact, I discovered "the bottom row" demons move or mimic your movements most of times, especially later in advanced waves. So, by moving the joystick left-right swiftly (consistently), you can move the demons away from your ship!, and they don't push you into the walls! Just make sure you don't move under the lowest Demons fire range, UNLESS you plan to escape to other side, or kill 'em.

 

 

-THOSE TINY Demons that split two fire lasers at once... These are tough, this is the MOST important (2) waves in to "wiggle" the joystick left/right in a bit faster clip then before, and TRY to destroy the two top Demon rows, and leave the bottom one alone if you can, this way you can eliminate more demons near the top and not have to deal with the two laser fire which is hell difficult, to swing across beneath.

31,295!

 

I could have done better, but I didn't get much time to play. I spent most of the week working on installing my new 7800 A/V Mod and loading my new Harmony Cart with games. I'm sure i could have at least gotten the survivor bonus, but sometimes, sacrifices have to be made, right?

You still can if you don't have to go to sleep or whatnot. Try my tips!

If you have the time...

Just not as much fun without the cruise missiles.

[keilbaca]

Its really embarrassing.

 

I can get to 3rd stage on Mushihimesama Futari 1.5 Black Label, Maniac, without a problem.

 

Yet I only score 10975 on this game.

 

Awesome scores guys, I am definitely envious.

Sorry for the lack of updates on this week... Work has been crazy lately, so it's been hard finding the time to get things done (and when I have had time, it's hard to summon the will to do anything productive)
