+therealbountybob Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 So what do you want to play next in the High Score Club? Yes YOU! "The first 5 9 people to suggest games here (one each!) get put into the next vote." Can anyone write that sentence with correct grammar to make the game go into the vote and not the person?

McKong Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Ok was looking through my carts for something that I'd not played before. Keystone Capers? Just played it and it seems ok, it starts easy but gets more difficult after a few levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Star Raiders: Commander Level! Hi stranger Can you post a real quick guide to playing S.R. as it might help a few people get into it (like me) and then it might get a vote this time 3 slots to go folks Yeah, I fully expect to be around a little more often. It's tough, working 2 jobs now, but I think I can find some time to play again. I'll put a little something together when I get home tonight. I started playing SR again a couple weeks ago and I forgot what a great game it is, especially considering it was one of the first ones to come out for the 8-bit machine.

Deteacher Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Here is a link to the manual: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-star-raiders_4992.html But here's the gist: Hit 'S' for shields, 'C' for attack computer and 'T' for tracking computer. Press 'G' for the galactic map. Move your cursor to the sector you want to travel to. Once you've selected the sector, press 'F' to return to the forward view and press 'H' to hyperwarp. Keep the cursor in the center of the crosshairs during hyperwarp (or as close as possible.) If you get a 'red alert' warning, there are zylons in that sector. Use the long range scanner (by pressing 'L') and the computer display to zero in on your target and blast them with your photon torpedoes. If you take serious damage, go back to the map and select a sector with a starbase (looks like a big asterisk) and hyperwarp. Dock with the starbase for repairs and energy replenishment. Then get back to the fight. Zylons are not only trying to kill you, but they're trying to surround and destroy your starbases. There's so much more to this, but that's the main idea. Kill or be killed. This is, in my opinion, the best outer space flight/fight simulator for this machine, hands down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 So what do you want to play next in the High Score Club? Yes YOU! "The first 5 9 people to suggest games here (one each!) get put into the next vote." Can anyone write that sentence with correct grammar to make the game go into the vote and not the person? The first 9 games suggested (one game per person) will get put into the next vote. (I know, leave it to the teacher to correct the grammar, right?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
