+therealbountybob Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 New score 8,000 That was a hard earned 8k Looking forward to the next game poll. there's only a few attack patterns to learn, use the H-scroll to take evasive action and if they're lurking at the bottom (the yellow ones usually) just stay above them and wait for them to go.... with a bit of practice you can get to the extra man at 10K I'll put the next vote on tomorrow - New players you're welcome to add 5 games you'd like to play to the 'games list' (link below) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Good score Sikor I'm starting to learn the attack patterns and a few other things doesn't look like the game gets much harder? extra life every 10K so I suspect we'll see some big scores with a bit of play 48,400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikor Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Great score Trbb, but I beat my last score to new one: 146600 In my opinion - later is easier... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow looks like Sikor may have a good chance for his first win of the Season Did you manage to use the bombs by being careful or are you ignoring them like me?

jblenkle Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) Is this game buggy? I scored something like 5,850 on my first try and then I played again a few times...think I got a little over 6,000, but when it took me to the high score screen it said I had scored 44,850. Tried to put my name in and half the letters were missing and when I finally put something in, the game locked up. There was like a half dozen versions of this when I went to d/l it... So.... Tiger Attack - 5,850 (score is No. 5) Edited October 27, 2012 by jblenkle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On first screens I try use it all - after them I ignore all bombs, there are totally unfunkcional for this game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 On first screens I try use it all - after them I ignore all bombs, there are totally unfunkcional for this game I agree; I just think of them as a bonus as they often go off when you are under pressure and moving up the screen. Still it's a very good and challenging game... finally blew it at 124,700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I do not know what APE is..I am afraid I cannot help you...I am using Windows XP professional with the Altirra and Atari Win 800 emulators Edited October 28, 2012 by NIKON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Yeah, I got it to load on Altirra...APE is the Atari Periphrial Emulator (SIO2PC) from AtariMax.com...a device you hook up between your PC and a real Atari computer. It lets you run the files off your PC onto your real Atari machine. I've never loaded a .CAS file on it so I'm not sure how to get the file to run (I loaded it, but I don't know what to do after that to run it).

I have APE too - for most games there is usually an XEX or ATR that works... I've never tried a .CAS file either but think it supports them [Click on Cassette Playback - select your .CAS file then probably boot the atari with START and OPTION held then press return - then click play on APE]. Let me know if you still need any help [if this works I might try to see if there is a .CAS ver of 'The Tail of Beta Lyrae' as all the disk versions have corruption/or the gravity balls feature is missing I remembered this was a disk ver. feature] [wonder if it loads more quickly that real tapes ] Round 17 Poll OPEN Edited October 30, 2012 by therealbountybob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 It was easy to load the .CAS file through APE...but it took forever...and then the APE program said something like "Ready to play game" but I have no idea how...or any evidence that it had gone from my PC to my Atari...
