My score is now getting into "reasonable" territory - I got 35% through the game which is the most I've managed.

Lunde, you know you can hold down the button for autofire, right?

LOL .. I certainly hope he knows!?!?!?!? :shocked His finger would have turned blue by now :lol

haha, we'll pretend he knows, even if he really doesnt (:

My thumb hurts, too - and I just hold down the X-button of my dualshock-controller all the time. I guess I'll map fire also to the R2-shoulder button...

sheeyit, you guys need to relax...relax relax relax, too much pressure on the fingers.

yes i know, i'am not a amiga gaming noob:nuts :laughing

Tip: 2xSaI
 

Until today I've played fullscreen 640x512 pixels @100Hz, resolution: Hires (normal), Line Mode: Double. And without filter...

That looked like this:

From now on I'll only play like this:

2xSaI (twice scale & interpolate) bloody rocks! Always used it with ZSNES. Now I got it working properly on WinUAE. It works fullspeed, fullscreen (-height), with correct aspect ratio and 100% smooth.

My new SWIV display setup:
640x512 @100Hz, resolution: Lores, Line Mode: Normal,
Filter 2xSaI, 2x (16bit), Horiz. Size: 1x, Vert. Size: 1x, Horiz. position: -395, Vert. position: -325
(DO NOT check the "Full screen filter" checkbox...)


P.S. Of course you can also try Super2xSaI or SuperEagle - but they don't really look better yet are much more demanding in terms of gfx processing power...

Nothing special compared to some (well all in fact ;)) of the previously posted scores but this game's growing on me...

Lack of a soundtrack is such a let down...

Once you figure out the way to quickly destroy the bonus ships the game becomes quite enjoyable.

I'm not sure about that, I think it's quite nice playing it without some godawful "music" torturing my ears.

That first screen shot is how it looks on my PC monitor using a Scan Doubler on my A1200.. Looks as blocky as all shit!!.. which is why i really need to get hold of a proper Amiga monitor to get it back to how it should look!!.

1. Yes, it seems so. What is more. If you don't die the choppers start to fire and tanks are stronger. The difficulty level of this game rises according to your performance. The better you did (less lives lost), the game becomes tougher.

2. This is not what I meant. I know they are timed. Problem is that some of them explode like any other thing, while some explode into pieces (pieces can harm you).

3. It is strange for sure... Extra lives are added at 100000 points and then I had at 400000 points.

New questions - what for is the number of stars shown next to lives left? How to get those stars?

i never noticed that for number two.

The star indicates how strong your weapon will be when you die. I think the further you get in the game the higher the number goes (up to 5) or it goes by how long you live before a death (if any). To make things clear, if you have full spread (5-way) and die, boom you automatically have 5-way spread.

Into the second week now, and it's already proving to be a very popular round, this one. Still looks very likely that TodaysForgotten will hold a lead in the championship at the end of the first leg, however.

If you wait about 3 seconds they will always automatically explode into six pieces when you get to close.

Ah - I thought it would be the # of continues. Now I understand why I sometimes get downgraded from five- to three-spread-shot.


Questions:

1) How many autofire-upgrades have an effect? Two? Three?
2) Anyone using the star-weapon (eight-way shot)? I find it rather unuseful...

Hmm, maybe the star could be both.
I think its only two.
I hate that gun. I feel so useless, vunerable and weird with a single fire beam coming out of the front of my ship (heli).
