IntellivisionMaster Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Tried a few tonight. It would be faster to just hit yourself on the head with a hammer!

I hear ya man, this game is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fkin frustrating..... The thing I DESPISE the most with this game is when they give you the yellow rejuvenator and you go for it, but it's disguised with a fragment that will kill you. So instead of +1, you are -1..... Also it was as I said, I haven't and won't be able to surpass my 70k score..... 🤦♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I almost turned this one off because I died often and early but then I went on a big run and piled up a bunch of extra lives just to miss the mothership a bunch of times. Still my best score so far... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it was as I said, I haven't and won't be able to surpass my 70k score..... 🤦♂️ That really sucks and amounts to a -2 in your overall lives. If that happens to me on levels 1-10, I just reset the game. I do get some satisfaction on getting the extra and then dying. At least that nets out to a +-0. I've managed to see some new things during this time with the game. For instance, it seems that once you get to 17 extra lives that the graphics no longer represent the additional men. Instead, there is a little + at the end of your chain of lives. I can't tell if it is tracking the lives above for you or if a death results in the + being removed. I can tell that it doesn't add an additional bonus value. The + seems to count as simple one bonus. One thing about killing the mother ship in the bonus level. It seems that the beams give you a guide on when to shoot. If you shoot just as it is passing the previous beam, you should hit it right on the front end. Similarly if you shoot just BEFORE the ship completely passes the previous beam then you should hit it on the back end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wongojack Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I was waiting for that. Here's what I've got (for now) - 127,968 I can probably do a little better as I have played a better early game than I did on this one, but I definitely can't get to 200k 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmadruga Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) Great score! Yes, playing better early on (and killing the boss ship consistently) is what makes the difference. Maybe the latter was what made the difference between our scores, given we reached the same sector.
