Krytol Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Here's a goofy hack of Pick Up. One of your ships has been damaged and is being held on a platform by the invaders. You must paralyze each invader by hitting it with your missile. When an invader is paralysed, its picture shows up at the bottom of the screen, and the platform is lowered slightly. If you hit that same invader again, the paralyzing effect is neutralized, and that invader goes free. Each time an invader is freed, the damaged ship gets closer the edge of the platform, and is in danger of falling off. Once all the invaders are paralyzed, you are able to rescue your damaged ship by going left, then dragging it off the right of the screen. Keep dragging it the the repair base. Once it has been fixed, go left to begin the next battle. Rescue Invaders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uosipa llamxew Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 FUN! I've never played PickUp before, so this was like playing a brand new game! :-) Now I have to go try the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neotokeo2001 Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Very cool indeed!!! For some reason, I have never played Pick Up either. I"ll have to track down the original and try it out. Great theme with the characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neotokeo2001 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 It would look better with a black background. It would fit the space theme better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saikyo Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 No blue looks way cooler because it's weird in a clockwork orange kind a way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krytol Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 It would look better with a black background. It would fit the space theme better. Agreed. I'm fixing that and a couple of other things before I call it finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad2600 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Nice concept there, Krytol. I couldn't figure out what to do but it seems like a solid hack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
