the 5th ghost Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 958,300 One thing to note... In the later stages, you cannot touch the enemy tank after you destroy it. You will die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the 5th ghost Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Ok, I am done with this one! 2,596,730 Why roll it twice? I wanted to see what happened when you reach the 100th board. Nothing. The board counter resets to 00 after the 99th board. By the time I reached 100 boards, the score was over 2.5 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if I wanted to do it again, I certainly could. There's a simple strategy I use for each wave and the difficulty maxxes out pretty quickly. I wanted to see if there was any change in gameplay after 100 boards but it didn't seem like it. Anyway, this is another game that before this week, I haven't bothered to play other than test it to see if the cart worked. Interesting concept in gameplay, different.

Lauren Tyler Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Getting better, and here's a bit of advice: When you shoot a tank, it still remains onscreen for a few moments, meaning that you can use it as a shield against shots from the other tank.

xeex Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 628,160 I think I can roll this one. My advice is to dig straight tunnels from the top to the bottom. Let the white tanks follow you down (the blue ones will, anyway), then scoot up to the top and start blasting away. You always move faster than the enemy, even at the higher levels. So, the farther they have to travel, the more time you have to do some damage. Fun game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Hello, I'm new to this forum and AtariAge in general. I have a small collection of games right now, and I don't have this one in my collection. I'm using a stelladaptor I got in the mail today on my emulator though, and it makes the experience much more rewarding. Here is my first score if I can attach this correctly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Slighty better. Fun game too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 335,300 Wave 26 With a few more games and my learning to be a bit more patient, I'll probably roll this before the week is out. I'll NOT be contesting 5th ghost, though, he can have his 2 mil. Nice work buddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I wasn't trying to show off with my score, I just wanted to see how high the board counter went to. I felt kinda jipped That's one of the things I liked about some of the Activision games that give you the "!!!!!!" or whatever when you get one million. It gives you the sense of finality as well as a neat visual reward for your effort. It also stops you from playing a game forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panda_racer Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 95,690 i keep forgetting that the object of the game isn't to shoot everything that moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberneticimplant Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I can't get into this game. The tank's bullets travel so fast later on and they respawn so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, lure them to the bottom of the screen, to give yourself time to clear out the shield at the top and quickly blast away the reactors.

Lord Thag Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I just ordered this one. I'm hoping it gets here in time for me to compete. I haven't had any time over the last two weeks to play, and the two weeks before that featured games I don't own. I'm starvin' here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went for $35-40 each. About half the 2K and 4K games work on the Supercharger w/out any problem. The other half require you to make a fairly simple hardware modification. Another option is the Krokodile Cartridge, but the next batch is still on backorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
