King Atari Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 I've been playing "Vanguard", and although I initially thought it was dull, I'm actually liking it! I look foward to playing it! Despite the fact you look like a flying turkey, it's fun. Anybody agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 Yeah, Vanguard is a pretty good game... although the strange controls take a little getting used to... and some of the levels get a little monotonous (especially the vertically scrolling ones) --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 I'm not sure about that flying turkey thing, but Vanguard is cool. I like the fact that the map changes and they mix and match the levels. I cannot get past the second map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATARIPITBULL Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 I'm with you Atari King, at first I thought that Vanguard was just O.K., but now I like to playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarinvader Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 The way you fire on two axis reminds me of moonpatrol...ahh happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 I havent been able to get past the second map either. The 1st ones easy because you have unlimited continues. I would try to die right before the "boss" on the 1st map so I would have a full reserve...But could never get past the second...Has anyone? Is there a different map the 3rd time around???

King Atari Posted December 8, 2001 Author Share Posted December 8, 2001 I've never really liked "Moon Patrol", it was too dull for me, of course now that I like "Vanguard", that could change. BTW, anyone remember the old commercial for it, not especially memortable, but interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 When I first played Moon Patrol on the Atari, I thought it pretty much sucked... this is after I was a huge fan of the arcade version. But the more I play it, the better the game actually seems. It's a better translation that you think (Well, better than I originally thought anyways) Too bad they lost the up/downhill levels. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Moon Patrol is pretty good I think. And hard when those blasted tanks show up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 I never played the arcade version until MAME, so i was bred to play the 2600 version.. i like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarinvader Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Moonpatrol was the only game that my sister was better at than me. I love this game, the way you jump is probably the coolest noise for any game ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
