+OLD CS1 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 If I can wrangle my sleep schedule, I could play it poorly on-stream one night this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 OK, if you're interested, I videoed my 80630 points session: https://www.mizapf.eu/files/mame/starfort.webm So for this month of May 2024, it's the other one: CUBIT. Loading by Editor/Assembler Option 3. A simple Q*Bert clone, but plays nicely. CUBIT cubit.dsk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More posts from people playing is fun to see! 😀 I feel I'm going to like this months game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+InsaneMultitasker Posted Wednesday at 02:55 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:55 AM Definitely not a fan of that spider thing that drives you over the edge. Literally. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can kind of 'lead' him to the black squares and he'll disappear temporarily (and you get a 500 point bonus i think it is), but it's tricky for me to do consistently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted Wednesday at 01:47 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:47 PM Yes, this is essential for getting a good score. Always make him to jump on the black square while you are teleporting. This can be tricky when you have to dodge the balls at the same time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneMultitasker Posted Wednesday at 04:30 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:30 PM The chase certainly adds to the tension I find myself getting clobbered when the ball disappears at the bottom and reappears at the top; sometimes the ball reappears immediately, other times not. I get all mixed up with the timing. hah! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted Wednesday at 04:50 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:50 PM You probably also noticed that there is a short pause for the balls after teleporting. You should make use of that as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted Wednesday at 07:39 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:39 PM This is a bit like Pacman or Munch Man. Make some mileage, avoid your foes (ghosts, here balls). Lurk around the energizer (or black pad) and wait for the right moment. While your enemies are recovering (in the house or pause of the balls), do the critical parts. And as we in German say, don't overstretch the bow, that is, go for some risk, but don't die in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneMultitasker Posted Thursday at 05:04 AM Share Posted Thursday at 05:04 AM Good tips. Made it to level 2 screen 5. Wasn't expecting a triple-change with black-sided cubes, no less. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
