Deteacher Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Great game choice! Can't wait to get started on this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister VCS Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) I was always too lazy to read the manual over the years - why can't we play Star Voyager by Imagic? I think this weekend I have to read and understand both manuals - instead of a good book... @Vocelli: Starmaster was released by Activision (instead of Atari)!

oyamafamily Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 This time I will not participate, because Starmaster is not one of my interests in Activision games! I will focus on the Final Game of the 7800 HSC Season - FATAL RUN! My goal is to complete this exciting 7800 game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I've been an ace at Starmaster on Game 1, and sometimes Game 2. Game 4, though, is gonna be a tough one, so THIS should be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game 4, though, is gonna be a tough one, so THIS should be interesting. I can honestly say I have never broke 9K. That why we play the HSC games. Makes us push our limits! I suggest: ~Read the manual ~Play on Level 1 and 2 ~Read the manual again ~Play on level 4 again and again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I just printed out the manual. Never played this before, so should be quite a challenge. Question: The black&white/color toggle switch is used on the 2600. Is there a substitute for this if you're playing on the 7800 console?

Stan Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Does this game require the video pad? It's one of the few I don't own. Might have to bow out this round unfortunately, I don't know if I bought it if it would come in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIKON Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) For those who want to use the EMU7800 emulator (which also runs 2600 games) for this game I have the following controls for the game (This is for a QWERTY keyboard) 1 = Left Difficulty Switch (do not use after game start!) 2 = Right Difficulty Switch (again do not use after game starts) S= Select for selecting through the games C= color (use this key for the map after game start and obtaining your score) R= Reset (starts the game) Edited November 25, 2012 by NIKON 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vocelli Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Finally made it thru a whole game of Game 4. Damn hard game. Addicting though and frustrating at the same time. Vocelli: 7604 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 A few goes at game 4 I think you took screenshots of the wrong screen. To get the score, you need the screen with all the stats. The score is in the top line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vocelli Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 A few goes at game 4 I believe you must flick thw BW switch one more time for the score, not sure but try that. S = Score Check out my post for the correct screenshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Yeah, i think i have to bring up the warp screen after the game is over. No worries, i'll play it again. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
