+johnnywc Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Not sure if anyone else is playing this, but my high score is 97,500 on Game 0. Things get pretty challenging after 70K!!! Well, back to playing. Gotta try to break 100K... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 this game really kicks my ass. The screen is just too tight for any sort of manuvering. Has anyone noticed that every once in a while you can wrap around the screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+johnnywc Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 this game really kicks my ass. The screen is just too tight for any sort of manuvering. Has anyone noticed that every once in a while you can wrap around the screen? 916388[/snapback] I know what you mean - the screen is very jammed - not much room between the edge of the screen, the neutral zone and the fortress. Getting off a good shot of the zorlon cannon without shooting yourself is quite a feat. Tip: the easiest place to shoot the Qotile in mid-flight is on the top left; have the zorlon cannon fire from the left. You have the entire length of the screen without the neutral zone to manuever and get off a shot. It the missiles get too close, you can always duck into the neutral zone temporarily. I wish the game could be modified somehow; it's so close to being an awesome game. Graphic glitches aside, it's pretty playable. If there was a little more room to move, possibly with wrapping, and if hitting the walls with the zorlon cannon caused more damage (the moving wall level becomes almost impossible at later stages). Still pretty fun as is though. When have you been able to wrap around? I've noticed a graphics glitch when you're on the bottom of the screen (part of the sprite shows up on top), but haven't been able to wrap yet. Oh well - back to playing...

Lord Helmet Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I was on the second level, and I was able to wrap around from bottom to top, and from right to left, but not the other way around...weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Thag Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Don't remember my score, but I like it. Needs work, but it's definately got potential! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy the Atarian Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I would play this more if the screen didn't roll or have the double sprite flicker graphics (depends on what TV I use it on). I would really like to play it more though, if there was a way to get a version that works right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 How many points do I get for throwing an epileptic fit on the floor because of the GDMF flickering in this game??? Between this and Caverns of Mars, I'm going to bite through my tongue. VCS Defender is starting to look pretty good in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 The graphics are pretty annoying here. I knocked out 7000 points. If I could wrap and maneuver, I'd be knocking swirls down in mid air and that 7 would have two more zeroes after it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
