+madman Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I won't post again unless I beat the high score, but had to do this so I can rightfully blame the broken repro pro controller for that low score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Anyone try 50Hz yet? Seems a little easier. It does have a slight hourglass graphics glitch, namely once the hourglass goes away the graphics on the screen below appear (on the left). This occurs at 50Hz, but not at 60Hz. You are still playing during this time, but are close to the time expiring. Over all the time seems to be about the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+grips03 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Here is what I do for a good score: For the first couple of shots shooting in up direction is ok, after that switch to shooting more in the down direction and to either side, as you don't want to hit the human and miss them falling down. Human comes from top. Once you see 1 point for shooting planes, usually after getting a couple of humans, then search out boss on the level immediately. I usually go right to find boss and try to get 1 more human on the way. I suspect folks with high scorer than mine get 2 humans on the way. I attack all bosses from right going left, same direction as the boss. If you find boss to the right, shoot boss as you are flying towards him, then go up and you find another boss. It's the same boss and finish him off. I usually shoot from bottom right of boss, and angle shot or level shot to kill boss. If you shoot human and miss them, don't bother to continue, just run your plane into another plane/bullet until all lives are lost. I wish rom has press * # to reset like most Jaguar games, but its missing that. Same thing if you hit something with your plane, just get rid of the rest of your lives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For beginners and even rather decent players, I disagree with that. Even with some mistakes, you can still accomplish a good score (50,000 - 70,000) and even more importantly, improve your skills with the game. For a perfect run, you need to progress fast to level 5, no deaths and catching all parachute guys. This would end up in a score way over 100,000. Tip: Shoot the parachute guys and catch 'em, this would save you a lot of time! Defeat bosses as quickly as possible without loosing a life.

+madman Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I agree w/agradeneu, it's easy to get frustrated and want to reset, but keep at it. It took me awhile to get into the zone and do well. IMO once you get good the timer is your enemy, not the # of lives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
