Northcoastgamer Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Great game. One of the first CV games I ever played nearly 30 years ago. Hopefully I can get some time in this week and post. GL all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skosh Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Long time since playing this and was one of the last purchases for the Coleco before moving on to mainly computers.

Northcoastgamer Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 281,170 level 51. Get to the high ground, between 2 ladders. Dig a hole on each side of the spaceman. Drop the creatures down, timing it so you hit another below. Sometimes you can drop one down and kill 2. After dropping one, dig that hole again, repeating until all creatures are dead. If one remains, I usually lure it to the top, dig a couple holes that will keep it busy, then dig 4 holes on each level that line up (usually the left side as the creature moves right), climb back to top, wait for final creature, then drop it for maximun points, 1200. They can't change direction between ladders, use that to your advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 That is basically the same strategy I have been using. It's amazing how after so many years of not playing this game that when you try it again you totally see it in a new light and recognize something like that. I used to just run around aimlessly trying to line up enough holes to kill the more advanced creatures. 281,170 level 51. Get to the high ground, between 2 ladders.

skosh Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Nice score!! Exact same technique for me. Also if you are trapped in the higher levels dig holes to escape. Sometimes getting to the high ground is problematic and you need to lure the creatures far enough to one side and then run up the other. Also I've experienced creatures who you just can't seem to lure and normally making a hole and dropping them snaps them out of it. Need to go play some more. 281,170 level 51.

Mister VCS Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) Quick-Start-Bonus-Info and HSC Rules The return of the Quick-Start-Bonus? The new scoring system for Season 6 seems like a litte bit strange, but who cares? Space Panic is a very underrated game - a cross between Dig Dug, Miner 2049er and Donkey Kong - but many more strategic elements. Whow - the Space Panic winner scored in Season 2 58,570 (chuckwalla), in Season 4 87,570 (duncantoml) and now 411,470? my score so far: 13,300 (my best was 20,650) Edited December 9, 2012 by Mister VCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEFF31 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Sheesh... Let's see new game for me so 20000-50000 points (if lucky...) so another 4-10 points for me... (actually I've played a few rounds (without reading the instructions ) and have yet to score any points... (does 0 points get me a 1 point participation award? ) ) I tend to think why bother. NCG is a Coleco game MASTER! I propose the next game be the worst one for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
