Rickster8 Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 (edited) This stupid game is BEYOND ridiculous.... I just had 48,000, then the dreaded grey alien spaceship came out 4 times in a row and killed me instantly each time knocking my final score down to 27k.... I hit him once turned him yellow and then instant death 4 times in a row..... friggin bullsh*t...... 🙄 Edited February 6 by Rickster8 Wording 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster8 Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 (edited) Drago's Cut!!! 😵 The grey alien ship is NOT a machine.... He CAN be beaten.... So check it out I finally killed one, the bad news is another one came out immediately after I destroyed the first one.... 😱 This post is not for the points. It's to show the '1' next to 'Enemy Ships'...... 👍 The first hit it turns yellow, the second hit I believe the grey ship turned maroon and the third hit, HE DEAD!!!

Rickster8 Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 (edited) Killed another ship and I had a 2nd one turned maroon before he got me. 😔 Anyway, a little bit better score... 33,910 - Default settings - Control option 1 Edited February 7 by Rickster8 Formatting 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster8 Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 (edited) I'm getting closer and closer to defeating the alien ship twice in one game. I do that 40k is happening.... 👍 A little better score here.... What's really sweet is the distance left for the booty is getting less and less... 35,890 - Default settings - Control option 1 Edited February 8 by Rickster8 Wording 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His missiles reach us, but ours don't reach him NORMALLY so you have to switch it up and trick him..... Speed up or maintain a fast speed and then whammo slow it down so he comes crashing forward and then ramp it back up fast and shoot the shit out of him. Once he realizes he's in trouble he will try to steer out of range to the left or right, but you have to reel him back in to the sites just like we do with the red robot mines. I'm defeating him regularly now. No longer impossible.... 👍 Edited February 9 by Rickster8 Wording 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster8 Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 The funny thing is the exact same technique works on all of them. They don't become self aware. They just speed along and fall into the same trap all over again.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster8 Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 I GOT IT!!! MISSION COMPLETE!!! 😵 So once you get to the end the screen quickly flashes a sign that says 'MISSION COMPLETE' and then under that it says 'CONGRATULATIONS'.... Then you go back to the beginning and start all over..... In the pic below notice 'ZERO' Distance left and 1 ship remaining in the fleet. The game pauses and shows you this screen. Then you resume the battle... FINAL SCORE 101,180 - Default settings - Control option 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobZu7zu7 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) I don't remember how to play this I learned like 15 yrs ago lol, I like this game, but not the best game early on in the HSC, but here went something... Having the game, not just emulator would help... to use an original controller but I'm gonna see if I can re-learn the controls here Edited February 12 by JacobZu7zu7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I meant to give this a real try, yet here we are. I'm in the 2600 Minor League tourny atm, so I haven't been playing much else. My goal is still to get a score in for every game 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimblargh Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 22,860 exploding juniper berries! I feel good about it considering I learned how to play it after the Superbow halftime show. Improved from -23k to +22k by halfway through the 3rd quarter! 😜 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
