Atarian7 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) My Marauder is white. Is the one in that picture PAL? Also, were those records done on game 4 or game 1? Edited June 28, 2016 by Atarian7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 My Marauder is white. Is the one in that picture PAL? Also, were those records done on game 4 or game 1? Yeah I think that's a PAL copy, although the red one is also listed as an American release at Atarimania: And -- yes, the old records were done on Game 4!

Vocelli Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Vocelli: 8000 So I read the directions and played game 1 to get a feel for the game. Seemed easy but got harder as it went along. Then I played GAME 4: WOW!!! They just surround my dude. I sometime just exit the starting the screen just to get away. I killed the core on diagonal hits several times but man the game is intense! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorfy Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 They just surround my dude. I sometime just exit the starting the screen just to get away. I killed the core on diagonal hits several times but man the game is intense! I agree, this game is intense!! I tend to lose lives in rapid fire succession. One thing I discovered that helps is to shoot as you enter any hallway even before you see the robot. When I'm surrounded, I try to press the button rapidly for fast, short-range firing, but I'm still working on that approach.

+KaeruYojimbo Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Quite alright, Kaeru! What version of Gorf is that? I'm not sure, I just did a Google image search for Gorf and that was the first one with the flag ship. I just assumed it was from MAME with the bezel art.
