adam242 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Simple question, but I can't find the answer anywhere: Is it possible to bring up the built-in Missile Command on an XEGS with the keyboard connected? Goes right to BASIC, and holding down [option] boots the self test. Also, Missile Command + hangover = LOW scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKong Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 @Bob Just as well for you that we didn't play DK as Level42's thread inspired me to have a few goes. Got to Level 7 for the first time 195300 200 short of the HSC record! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to Level 7 for the first time 195300 200 short of the HSC record! That's one tough game to reach level 7 (I think I only got there starting on level 5) Looks like you have Missile Command in the bag, so maybe a late points surge up the table from you... or perhaps next season will be your year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I'll have another go this week to see if I can break the 200k I think 300k is about my limit on Missile Command, if anyone comes in with something higher than that then good luck to them Edited October 29, 2013 by McKong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthkur Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I can't seem to get the wedge only game to run. I've done several combo's of pressing "Control" and Z then Start, pressing and holding then Start, pressing while a game is running, etc but the game always starts as normal. I've tried it with the built in version in the XEGS and with the cart. What am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tried with the ROM (on altirra) and it's S to wedgie up - think they make a different sound to the file versions, much more intimidating After three nerve wracking (and swearing a lot) goes I improved to 167,305 on M.C. and made 2,250 on the level 1 bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goochman Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 MC+ 58280 This is alot harder. I thought having 3 bases would be good, but not being able to choose which one fires makes a huge disadvantage when your last city is on 1 side vs the middle. You effectively cant use one base of missiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You effectively cant use one base of missiles. Did you see you could use the JKL keys - combine that with the Trak-Ball and it's not bad, but yes it is limited we need a special controller making up Anything you fancy playing before the end of season? Do you want to run a special end of season round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
