playvectrex Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 You feel the practice kicking in, don't you!? The more I play, and the more I am brave enough to vary my strategy... especially when I'm using continues... the more I understand what I need to do to keep going.

Yeah practice really helps with thus game. Im not sure, but the exact spawn points of the enemies seems random, but remembering where all the problems are is key. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCurlyBard Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 24450 What a fun game. Sometimes the bombs feel unfairly unavoidable but overall it's really rewarding 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler tip for Hover Jet For that hover jet enemy, you want to always be moving away as fast as you can, then when it catches you let it basically touch your back tires and press jump and brake hard left on the joystick... then shoot to kill . Did you know we have actual spoiler tags here that work on every device, not just PCs? 😜 For other people using phones, dark theme, etc: Spoiler For that hover jet enemy, you want to always be moving away as fast as you can, then when it catches you let it basically touch your back tires and press jump and brake hard left on the joystick... then shoot to kill . 12500 to start out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCurlyBard Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 Nice! I've stalled on the PBs, but I can consistently get close so I'm not far off, but it's not going to be tonight 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcmffm Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Haven't played Vector Patrol for years and I forgot how good the graphics are. And sound is also excellent. Only jumping sound in the mine field is a bit enerving - but I guess it's just like the original. Kristof did an outstanding job, here. My best score tonight was 26,600 played on original Vectrex hardware (console + controller): 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
