Cousin Vinnie Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 Here's my score: 688,600 Weird thing is, when I killed the Mother Alien, my score was rolling past 699,000... and then it suddenly came back to the above score. Needless to say, I was taken aback. Here's a few hints for my homies who care: -Killing Hostages will SCREW you. There is a massive penalty for your mistakes. It's better to take a couple of bullets and make sure what you are shooting at is an alien than to waste it before you know for sure. -Killing soldiers/aliens underwater net you HUGE points. -For some strange reason, the white coal cars in the Mine level give massive bonus points when you shoot them. -White snakes give good bonus points every time you shoot them. Shoot: All dark green soldiers, white snakes, white coal cars, gray round things on the tracks, space ships, gray helicopters, tanks, water skiiers with the alien Do Not Shoot: All tan soldiers, nurses, lab workers, mermaids, octopi, black dogs, green helicopters, water skiiers with the chick For my level by level walkthru on the game, go to www.flipsiderunner.com/7800 and go to CV's Cheap Universe good luck!

ApolloBoy Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Vinnie, I will be able to take over the HSC again for next week because I'll be out of school by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I can't even get past the first level. I am shooting everything that shoots at me, and nothing else, and I keep getting the "You have disregarded your commanding officer's orders..." screen. This game sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockman_x_2002 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I got to the cave. 230,000 or so. But the game ended so quickly I couldn't get the exact numbers. Doesn't look like I'm too good at this one. Of course, I'm not very good at games of this kind anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedijeff Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 After my first try I decided to use the vcr to tape my next one since your score disappears so quickly. I made it all the way to what I think was the mother alien only to run out of ammo. My score was 670800. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjk7382 Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Thanks for the tips Vinnie. I finally got past the fist level, I guess I was shooting the resue helicopter every time thinking it was attacking (since it looks the same as the ones that shoot at you) Here is my high score: 643,000 (my vcr looks like shit when it's paused) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip_Cannon Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 The same thing happened to me that happened to Cousin Vinnie.. I had about 670000 something... But by the time I killed the alien mother thing it dropped me back down to 658800. What's up with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Vinnie Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 No clue trip... I was rolling past 700,000 this last time. And to my dismay... puke. Oh well: Here's a middle finger for the programmers to the game. CV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 821,800 (w/ light gun) Do you have to beat the game to count? How the hell do you stop that final alien from pooping out pods? I concentrate my firepower on its "egg chute" but I either die or run out of ammo...hate that underwater level too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Vinnie Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 That's a mighty damn good score for a guy who didn't beat the game Shoot at the head/body...not the egg chute. CV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Well, I didnt seem to see any damage indication when I shot at the body- but there was when I went for the egg chute. Did I have an advantage using the light gun? I want to make sure it's all fair & square! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Vinnie Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 I wonder if there is a point difference with the light gun... that would seem like a program flaw to me. I'll figure it out tomorrow. But that's cool, you'll score will remain in tact either way. CV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 I wonder if there is a point difference with the light gun... I just tried the lightgun and it does make it considerably easier, but not enough to not count his score. The score is higher because you can shoot one thing and then move to the other side of the screen in no time at all, where a joystick takes a second or two to scroll across the screen. Even with the lightgun I was only averaging 650k. It also takes some practice to switch over to the secondary wepon with the lightgun.
