carlsson Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Last minute improvements: Mega Blaster - 24550 pts (level 5 is my doom) MegaGun - 4005 pts (still not sure if the game plays itself - perhaps it requires paddles or trackball?) Megalegs - 6728 pts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BIT 1337 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Gave Mega Maze a try - 157 I guess my score would be since I have one step left when I took this screenshot. No score improvement on MegaMania. Hit 134k this afternoon. I hate: rings and irons personally. And anything zig zaggy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalegs 10,,858 the extra man at 10K freaked me out as it was in my mushroom roll-up for my last life! I should get a bonus point for getting the bl**dy screenshot to workl... best I can do: Megamania turns out a slight un-improvement to 115,160 but it was close! Megagun 30.150 (on skill 1 - press up on title screen) not a bad game not sure why it ends when it does, might have to look for the instructions eh?! First 4 digits?

I found that the movement was so erratic that maybe it requires a trackball or paddles to operate, but then you got a score of 30K so perhaps joystick is the right controller after all.

Can't find anything either! Megagun: Just tap L/R - there are three? angles for each side tap - avoid shooting your blue fuel ships, shoot grey, green ships and little men (they rob a bit of your fuel supply and are 5pts each so I guess they are fair game!) you can hit more than one enemy with a well placed single shot. Push up on title screen to set level, then hold in start until it begins, the blue ships bring your fuel pods at the start then you can go - the force field seems to auto start when bullets are dropped near you and stop you shooting but on previous go I wondered if U/D might activate it... not sure why game end - there is a number 5 possibly lives or something - need to pay more attention. Will play more before the round ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Yes, I kind of got the impression that my input did make a difference to what happened on the screen and how the score built up, but it seems a good bit of laser firing is automated as well. Thus my thinking that perhaps it is phantom input in case the game expects something else than a joystick. I realize that paddles use different pins on the connector so that probably isn't it, but what if one should use a trackball that shares pins with joystick?

+therealbountybob Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Megagun 46,225 (1) [F] is freeze/pause, other key to resume play. Poss was out when my fuel pod was bombed? U/D do activate shield but also is auto so needs investigatiing.

The munster was cool and caused fear - reminded me of The Eidolon Having another go now... !

+therealbountybob Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 Megablaster - I was expecting this to be way too easy / too many lives like most Arcade Machine creations but I got the cr*p kicked out of me on level 5 - 25,650 hmm will have another go on this one too 22,750 them 21,250 LOL 24,400 might be worth a play as that 5th screen is at least a challenge!

The one I just played (which is on an AtariMax cart I created years ago) has sounds that weren't on the one I grabbed when we started this round. This one sounds richer when you're getting the bonus points at the end of a round, and there's a sound when you earn an extra ship. Is one a 5200 port or something? maybe it was an unfinished copy On 12/2/2021 at 9:17 PM, Sikor said: Megamania: 29590, poor score, but always Always appreciated as for everyone who posts just the odd go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
