+therealbountybob Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Falling mines seem to be giving me some trouble... 12,300 managed to complete the first round after a week of playing.... tough game. I'd like to offer some tips but all I can say is for me the early sections seem harder (esp 2000 and 5000 perhaps) so persevere. Really try and take out the guns stay about 2 inches from the ground, forget about fuel as you usually get the odd one.. Take out the falling mines that you can before they fall but concentrate on the guns, get right and drop a couple of bombs down that big shaft and hang back as long as you can... generally waiting rather than flying fast through immediately seems to be better. Good luck 38,950 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKong Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Can we have a two tiered vote for the next round? Say 10 games in the 1st round of voting whittled down to the most popular 3 or 4 for the 2nd round. Or is that a crap idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good idea but I've already got plans for round 9 so we can do that for round 10 perhaps Did you make it twice round for the bonus point like Orpheus?

+therealbountybob Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 mofo, I need to get higher than mckong I'm thinking of awarding you both the 1st place (as it stands) but perhaps the HSC win should be whoever gets the furthest (miles) as the scoring is slightly flawed as there's that repeating (easy) level? If we play this again will make it on distance for everyone Hey atariron82 Not to brag, but I won this one going away on the ColecoVision HSC - 161,540.
