jedijeff Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I always did like this version of Asteroids even though it is missing a few enhancement. My high so far is 66000. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedijeff Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Forgot to post some (hopefully) helpful hints. At the beginning of each wave shoot as fast as you can toward one side of the screen or the other for a few seconds. Not all the large Asteroids will split into 2 smaller ones when you start out with a lot of them on the screen. This will give you more room to move around. Try to stay out of the exact center of the screen because a lot of Asteroids seem to cross each other there. Use your thrusters in short bursts to move your ship out of the path of oncoming asteroids, it works a lot better than hyperspace. Last but not least, play a few games where all you do is try to avoid collisions with asteroids, it will help your manuevering skills tremendously. Hope that helps.

Cousin Vinnie Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 I realized three things when I played Asteroids for the 7800 1: It sucks 2: I suck at it. 3: I didn't care. 12,730 woooo-hoooo!!! Cousin Vinnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Vinnie Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Played while on hold with GEICO: 14,730 whew.... watch out CV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 So are we playing this game for two weeks or somthing? We need to get the next week going already. We should skip the voting and just play something good like joust or galaga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Vinnie Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Sorry guys, I can't run the HSC this week either... maybe we should hold off until Apolloboy gets back. I think he's doing a good job, but the point standings need to be updated... and who won last week? CV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Is this a two weeker? Cause if it is I might be able to squeeze in a few games before this weeks end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
