AtariSphinx Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) Moon Patrol Redux: 117,850 (4th time through, died in level M) Never played this version. Loved the original and this one plays quite similarly but better graphics. Can you shoot the lava pits and deactivate it in this version? I liked that in the original and could not in this version so far. Edited March 10 by AtariSphinx Updated wording 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love the updates to this game, it is still a game I have never had much interest in. Just a bit too easy once you figure things out - if you couldn't shoot the moving rocks or chose not to it's more fun. Really does need a 3rd killer round of difficulty.

thank you Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 First time ever playing this game is tonight. Getting a little further every try, fun stuff! First tank was the death of me this time. Might have another go later but 26,600 for now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graywest Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Moon Patrol: 76,350 Finally got past that O-T segment that always kills me. Almost finished with the second loop - can I make it before the end of the HSC round?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graywest Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) Moon Shuttle: 21,030 Moon Lover Pinball: 198,050 Moon Shuttle isn't too bad. It's competently programmed and I think it's based on an obscure coin-op. But once you've seen the four waves of enemy ships it starts to loop, so it's kind of repetitive.

Great artifacting colours on the pinball, we end up with mono screens in PAL land Did you try the newer version of Moon Shiuttle by rybags? (says requires BASIC?) https://a8.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=6358 Reminder this round and the Round 5 POLL close tonight (Wednesday) 8pm UK time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 I remember Tyrants of Torment being one of the more impressive type-ins, but my copy did not level up so kept saying level 1 at the end of each 8 mile segment - It was hacked around by me so I'll have to find my downloaded Atari User games disks. If you put the game on the other levels [select] you will see more features like the cross hair thingy that targets you and lots of speed! Moon Shuttle (VBXE ver played on my standard 130XE) nice quick game got to level 24 score 716 Moon Marauder 8,440 this one may offer more HSC play, sort of a Juno First game, does get faster - started on higher skill level Hawk Moon - argh! I really don't like these woolly floaty controlled games, just make the guy jump and land with some gravity already, shame as it looks nice Moon Quest - not played Moon Lover Pinball - not played Reminder this round and the someone break the tie again please Round 5 POLL close tonight (Wednesday) 8pm UK time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 157250. As much as I want to give it another go to beat @therealbountybob's score, I've had enough of this game! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdrunner Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Late entry, since I just saw the game a few days ago: 153,950. BIG fan of the arcade game and used to own the original Atari cart. Nice little upgrade here, though I agree that it's still a bit easy. I'm used to "Champion Course 2" and "Champion Course 3" after completing the first, with more aggressive UFOs that shoot extra missiles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
