Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) The rings only repair when you kill the last segment of the outer ring (see manual, page 4). Then the middle ring is moved to the outer ring, the inner ring to the middle ring and a new inner ring is created. So keep at least one segment of the outer ring intact. Then you can create big holes in the inner and middle rings and kill the gun. BTW: The arcade version is even harder. Especially the difficulty ramp up is very fast and the game becomes extremely hard very soon.

Andromeda Stardust Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 This is one of the hardest games I have ever played. At first I got so frustrated, that I wanted to throw the Atari through the window But then I watched some gameplay from the arcade version, and noticed the bouncing trick. I have gotten to the third castle, but that's as far as I get. As soon as I make a hole in the inner ring, and try to fly behind him, it either repairs itself, or I hit a missile Is there a way to keep the rings from repairing themselves, or am I just to damn slow? Kinda wish there was a VERY easy mode as well. Got my switches at B position, but it's still brutal Impressive game YEah it's tough as nails. Just getting past the first castle is rewarding. More often than not I become a sitting duck. A lot of times my shot defeating the Star Castle comes as it takes out my ship with a plasma ball. You do still advance to the next round even if you lose a ship taking out the Star Castle. Somebody told me the trick is to slid my ship sideways and take a shot as the window opens. The plasma ball will narrowly miss the ship if you are side-stepping, but easier said than done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dphirschler Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I've played this in emulation many times. I just bought the cartridge. When I played the cart on my light sixer, instead of bounce off the rings, I blow up. Is this a difficulty setting I am unaware of?

Time to take it apart and get out the multi-meter. Darryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konqrr Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I put the final beta 140 on my harmony and it won't start. I get a noise and scrolling gray/black bars. Something I'm doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) Please have look at my blog,152.cu should work. If not, make sure that your Harmony has at least BIOS v1.05.

Bob Humid Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) Sorry, a bit of a spoiled question: Will this run on the Atari VCS Flaschback Portable? Or is there a reason I should not even try loading it on the SD-card? Thanx for any answer. upload.txt Edited April 13 by Bob Humid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 The game might work, but the high score saving won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
