Earn 2 points for each Fury you destroy. Earn 5 points for each brick left untouched in the Temple roof. Players who make every shot count can also earn BONUS POINTS. Bonus points are automatically calculated for you at the end of each wave -- if Jason survives! Here's how it works:If every stone Jason throws in waves 1 and 2 loosens a brick and destroys a Fury, you'll earn 99 points over and above the 5 points you've scored for each brick that remains in the Temple roof. As "NO ESCAPE!" increases in difficulty, so do your bonus point awards! Hints and Tips As always, you really should read the manual. What's that? You don't have the manual? Well, luckily for you, AtariAge has a typed copy of it online for your reading pleasure. What's that? You're too lazy to click that link? Well, the manual doesn't provide any specific hints anyways! Tip: Use your fire button to control the movement of the creatures. Once you master the art of throwing one stone to cause a brick to fall, then hit your fire button again to cause the creature to run into that falling brick, you're all set! If you hold the button down, the creatures will move towards you, the longer you hold down the button, the farther the creatures will move in your direction (hint hint) Tip 2: Once things start to pick up, try to position yourself in the center of the screen and alternate rapid shots left and right, but keep moving to avoid the stones thrown at you. Don't stay stationary! Once you get this technique down, you will easily clear all but two creatures, then concentrate on controlling those two by causing them to move into your falling bricks! Tip 3: At every 18th wave, the Furies don't shoot. This is also when the music will reset back to the original pitch from the 1st wave Tip: once things start getting hairy, always try to get off two shots as quick as you can, one being at an angle, the other one straight...that way, the line of enemies will try to dodge one brick, but then will usually end up getting hit by the other. Good luck everyone! --Ze_ro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the 5th ghost Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Oh NOOOOOO! Well, I did plan on regaining the TG world record on this one sooner or later But, I may sit this week out. Still recuperating from rolling Pigs In Space! The score rolls at 1 Million points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Tyler Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Didn't have much time when I played this one, so I'll play it again later. Here's my first score at any rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 OH YES! I LOVE No Escape! Man, this is going to be a great week! I'm not so good at it, it gets REALLY hard, but I look forward to playing it! Great pick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 (edited) ....Great pick! Thanks, I haven't really been playing the hsc that much lately, but I always love to pick a game. I was thinking about 3 of them... Thrust, Quadrun, and No Escape. So I chose the most common one. I will get at least a couple scores in this week, even though I am not too spectacular at this game either. My score so far is 3477 Edited May 24, 2005 by bjk7382 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sku_u Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 4814 is my best score so far. I don't think I can do much better than that. I definitely won't be breaking the 100K barrier. This game's hard (but fun). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the 5th ghost Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 This is one of my favorite Imagic games, don't mis-interpret my first post Anyway, I will at least offer my best tips... Tip: Use your fire button to control the movement of the creatures. Once you master the art of throwing one stone to cause a brick to fall, then hit your fire button again to cause the creature to run into that falling brick, you're all set! If you hold the button down, the creatures will move towards you, the longer you hold down the button, the farther the creatures will move in your direction (hint hint) Tip 2: Once things start to pick up, try to position yourself in the center of the screen and alternate rapid shots left and right, but keep moving to avoid the stones thrown at you.

StanJr Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I keep getting rapid fire killed by the second wave of Centaurs! Yeah, controlling the movement of the monsters is the key. But be careful holding the button down, as you will keep knocking bricks loose and if you aren't watching, end up with them on your head. I keep getting close to my old score, but not beating it!

the 5th ghost Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 It is harder on dif.A, plus I'm a little rusty on this one... 273,978 Once you hit 20K, the bonus points start racking up fast when you clear each wave. Also, I forgot to count but after a certain amount of waves, you will get a wave where the creatures don't shoot. This makes for a nice break. I will count the next time I play.
