Chris-in-NJ Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Just got Sinistar in he mail, courtesy of CPUWIZ, and noticed a few things... It seems the only way to die is to collide with Sinistar himself! I haven't played the arcade game in two decades but ISTR that running into one of the ships would kill you too. Is this an unfinished game, or was the arcade game like that too? Is there any way to direct your Sinibombs? They don't seem to always head in the direction of Sinistar. Finally, I know that the left number is number of Sinibombs, but what's the right number? Sometimes it's the number of ships you have remaining, but other times it changes, I'm guessing to the number of hits required to kill Sinistar. Am I right? Must say I'm a tad disappointed in the game, nowhere near as intense as I remember the arcade game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ways to die in the arcade were to collide with the sinistar, or being shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 8th Passenger Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I think you can die by colliding with the fighter ships as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortly Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I think you can die by colliding with the fighter ships as well. Nope. Not in the arcade or on the 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 8th Passenger Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Interesting...I could have sworn so, but I haven't played it in a while. I think the only time I've played it recently was on my Super Nintendo (which was still a few months ago). Oh well...thanks. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
