BillyHW Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Did no one at Sega play test this game before shipping it out to customers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynicaster Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Did no one at Sega play test this game before shipping it out to customers? I heard Anakin Skywalker tested it and said it was A-OK. Wow, this game is brutally difficult; makes Cosmic Avenger look like a walk in the park. On my first credit, I think my game lasted about 12 seconds from "player 1 start" to "game over". I can't even imagine what this must have been like to walk up to in an arcade, drop in some money, and get obliterated in a few seconds flat. I'm not sure how this game could have survived in arcades if a kid could blow his whole allowance in mere minutes. Got through the first batch of those parade floats... or dragons... or whatever the fuck they're supposed to be. 17,750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbee99 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 I too have made it to the second loop now. Twice I found out that the ships in the tunnel fire lasers the hard way. 19,900 B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbee99 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 I guess they take it easy on you in level 1. The funny thing about the TG score, it was done on HARD. We are doing this on Normal. I can't imagine that kind of score yet. 50k seems out of reach. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyHW Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I just had a game where I was under 10,000 points on my last life, crashed into my 20th plane, died, got the 2000 bonus, took me over 10,000, got the extra life, and then kept going...

kane Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) I just had a game where I was under 10,000 points on my last life, crashed into my 20th plane, died, got the 2000 bonus, took me over 10,000, got the extra life, and then kept going... Ah yes, the kamikaze method I declared war on this game yesterday, I just kept resetting and playing over and over and finally after 174 credits I made it through the dragons and back to the start again. 21,250 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- edit: Doing much better tonight 25,850 almost got back to the dragons for the second time in the one game. Dare I say it, I think this game is growing on me... Edited June 28, 2012 by kane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.A.M.E Offender Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Holy shit, this game is painfully difficult!! It took a solid hour of playing time to achieve this score: 11,900 Needless to say, I've got a long ways to go if I want to get close to the top.

onmode-ky Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 This has been my first experience with the game, and yes, it's a little crazy how quickly you can die in it. It scrolls faster than I'd expected. I think the enemy hitboxes are a little too small, too, smaller than your own. Also, I dislike the tunnel's random enemy spawning, which kind of makes survival a crapshoot, especially given those enemy hitbox sizes. My best, after about an hour of frustrating tries (switching early on from the keyboard to my RumblePad got me past 10K, finally): 17,100. I made it past a few of the walls beyond the tunnel. onmode-ky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.A.M.E Offender Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 A small improvement: 15,900 You've got to wonder why more shooters didn't follow the isometric view style like the two Zaxxon games. In fact, I don't know any. Does anyone know about games that imitated Zaxxon? Please post a story if anyone does...... thx, M O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Viewpoint on Neo Geo. (I think there may be another here too.) There's a Zaxxon sequel on 32X. Haven't played either of them. Saw Viewpoint being played in a gameshop once. There's an NES game that has a quasi-isometric vertical scroll (not diagonal scroll) style.

roadrunner Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Desert Falcon for the 2600/7800 plays like Zaxxon. It's more fun with all the power ups it has and cool music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.A.M.E Offender Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I am not giving up on this game. My fist might find its way through my monitor, but I will keep going. GRRRRR!!! 18,200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never tried Desert Falcon. When I am at my Brothers house, I'll have to give that one a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
