roadrunner Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) This round we play Strategy X , last played in this HSC 2012 Game Information - Game Name: Strategy X Released By: Konami 1981 MAME ROMset: stratgyx Dip Switches: Lives: 3 Deadline to post scores is August 8th 2021 at 12PM EST Final high scores - Floyd Turbo 16,290 +11 points +3 points for winning round AtariWarlord 9,890 +10 points roadrunner 9,710 +9 points Krytol 4,700 +8 points Hero2millions 4,370 +7 points jblenkle 3,940 +6 points VectorGamer 3,640 +5 points ---- Even Patton would spend all his quarters attempting to advance through the four attack levels of Strategy X, Konami's latest tank attack video game. 1st Level : Defend against rotating cannons. 2nd Level : Watch out for attacking Jeeps 3rd Level : Careful! Here come attacking and shooting tanks 4th Level : Rotating cannons again, but this time against a moving background. An audible signal warns that it's refueling time. Enter a fuel dock and receive 100-300 points. The Tank commander's life isn't an easy one. Aside from an on-going battle, he has to watch out for obstacles and rough terrain. Brick walls destroy tanks, although they can be shot away. TNT, rather nasty stuff...explodes when shot, but destroys all objects in the area. Stay off pink backgrounds. That's where the land mines are buried. They explode only on contact. Don't worry about a blue background, though. It's a slip zone like an oil slick and can be driven across. If an alien base is found and destroyed, advance to the next level of difficulty. You bet there's a 'buy-in' feature on this one. Strategy X. There's never been a war game like it. It blows minds, and quarters.

AtariWarlord Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Looks like the machine has buttons for rotating the turret; the fire button appears to be on top of the joystick. If the ROM is accurate, the turret sure seems to turn slower than necessary for the game. Probably not a big surprise it wasn't a big hit -- I think the Atari 2600 version may in fact be better.
