graywest Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) Tail of Beta Lyrae: 187,279 FINALLY! I somehow survived sector 5 of loop #2 and made it almost halfway into loop #3. Not sure I can push it any further than this... I'm pretty much at the limit of my skills here. By the way, when I was a kid, I had nicknames for each sector. I called them: Sector 1: Gravity-land Sector 2: Ice cavern (due to the color) Sector 3: The City Sector 4: The Planet of Trash (it looks like a landfill to me) Sector 5: Purple Cave Sector 6: The Power Core Sector 7: Alien Attack Sector 8: Asteroid Field Edited April 9, 2022 by graywest 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just played maybe half a dozen games, and outside the first they were all between 10k and 13k, but I can't get much further than 4th/5th wave typically (today all games ended in 4th wave) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devwebcl Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) 1440 Weird game, the ship moves itself. I'll wait for the next one. Edited April 13, 2022 by devwebcl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleman jack Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) Another slight improvement. 7,145 After a few runs each time my score goes up, but it's hard to stomach the times where I shoot an enemy and the enemy doesn't blow up. Especially when I then end up running into the enemy and loosing a ship. However, the speed and the slight improvements are really exciting.

It confused me as well in the beginning, but I still think it is one of the factors that makes this game unique, not just one of many Scramble clones. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdrunner Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 2+ months too late, but just saw the thread. Great to see TTOBL back this year. Also @graywest great job on reaching loop 3! I still have my original copy of this game and play it every so often. One of the best Atari games ever! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
