jblenkle Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) Yuk! I suck at this game as I have rarely played it!!! Watch out...this one has minus scores!!! Just thought I put up a good score, but then discovered it had a minus in front of it... Edited May 5, 2012 by jblenkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangia-Boy Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 + 23,740 (Mission 1 failed) This is game I don't know what I have to do. The manual isn't very helpful,too. I also tried the Intellivision and MSX versions, the Colecovision is the only version I managed to reach a positive score at least. P.S. I got a new camera, but the photos I take with it have all more than 2 MB, so I can't post my scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Don't you have photo editing software? I have the same problem. I just load it into Photoshop and resave the picture in a smaller format (i.e. no bigger than 640 x 480 and in either GIF or PNG format). + 23,740 (Mission 1 failed) P.S.

ed1475 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) 2 MB is a default jpeg size. There should be a setting on the camera to change it to a smaller size. That's what I did when I got a new camera last year. Don't you have photo editing software? I have the same problem.

Ikrananka Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Man the scoring on this game is so frustrating. I managed to travel much further than before, killed TWO of the enemy ships and still didn't even beat my last score - agghhhh!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - at long last I finally win a round!!! I actually like this game - I found that it's just about finding the techinique to reliably shoot those mines (and laterly the ships). I may play this game for the next few weeks in the hope of finally reaching Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
