_Fandal_ Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 This game is hard! And man am I bad at it 7330 865629[/snapback] Use autofire and shield and you'll be happy! F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Use autofire and shield and you'll be happy! No! Autofire kills the timing that you need for the shots. With Autofire you gain unwanted gaps and the enemies a.k.a. Bandits can fly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Autofire you gain unwanted gaps and the enemies a.k.a. Bandits can fly though. yes, autofire is not the best in this game. my last score is 129440. I think I cannot beat emkay... edit: I forgot the screenshot Edited June 1, 2005 by krupkaj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xebec's Demise Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 (edited) I started playing this with Atari800win Plus 4.0 and it seems to be running very fast! Almost impossible to dodge those smart bombs. Should I be running this PAL or at a slower speed? Maybe it's easier with a joystick? For anyone else that tries this game, be sure to: "Load with OS-B. Disable "SIO patch for fast disk access". Also make sure that you put the memory size on 48k only. You should get an exclamation mark in the bottom right hand corner of screen. It will look like it has frozen at a blue screen, just wait for quite a while because it takes a bit of time to load. http://www.atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?...&VERSION_ID=492 Edited June 1, 2005 by Xebec's Demise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm... like in some other games, it seems, that use the 60Hz are making the gameplay faster/harder, but more precisely. What makes me more wondering is, that a game like "Bandits", that uses a full software-sprite-engine, is running faster on 60Hz (even if less CPU cycles are left for a frame) than on 50Hz.

Xebec's Demise Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 70,000! wow, I can rarely get past 10,000. Ok, also I just looked at a screenshot of the game at atarimania. It looks like there is a shield over the player spaceship. Is there a way to activate a shield? That would make it easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 Pull down on the joystick and the shield will appear - careful since the blue bars on the bottom represent the amount of power left (they regenerate slowly) - Push up to turn shield off (it takes 1 bar before it will turn off). Fun game I got 50K once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
