@janni

Nice try to get everybody discouraged with this statement.

First go at this for many many years. I have been used to Super Stardust which is rather easier than this. Not too bad for a first try though - got to world two so was pretty pleased.

Seriously annoyed with myself for managing to lose two lives in the first tunnel sequence...

Average! lol

I tried again yesterday after you beat my score by 300 points.

I got the message "Don't Bother Trying Again." !!

Smart arse computers.

Wow! I am terrible at this. The controls are not like anything I've played before, looks like I got some practice to get in.

Failed at level 1 boss.

Not my kind of game...

Not my kind of game because I find any Asteroids style game very difficult. However the graphics and sound are fantastic. Really would love to see how Super Stardust could possibly improve on how fantastic this game looks. Also I think an entire game could be based just on the tunnels sections (really enjoyed that bit)

+1
One way for the Amiga to achieve a kind of Galaxy Force 2 style game, or Buck Rogers planet of zoom at least.
I would love to see that.

There's a 2nd Galaxy Force game? I have the original for the Spectrum.

FYI: No improvement on my score for Stardust yet

IIRC they are both the same game, GF2 is more like an enhanced version of the (Japan only?) original. I guess when it was released over here the distinction became less relevant

I made a minor improvement, but nothing significant. The Stellar blades stages on world 2 are just killer!

Actually managed to get to the second world with a life left. Then lost both on the first stage.

Those spinning blades really f--k me up

capehorn · 05 August 2014, 20:38

Think I may have finally sussed the blades and globes, but the early levels are still difficult so I can't always get that far.

capehorn · 08 August 2014, 00:37

Got to World 2 boss for the first time. Nearly beat it too.

Well done capehorn!
World 1 is no problem I usually have have 6 or 7 lives spare but I'm still getting slaughtered on world 2.. spinning blades.
Even with fully upgraded weapons I kill 2-3 blades before I get rained on by the other 50 of them. I try to avoid them but they always catch me from off-screen or whatever..

Spoke too soon.. finally had a better effort with the spinning blades.
Lost a life during them, but still had full powered 3-way in reserve.
The big balls are very easy, just pick one and follow behind it.
I died just like capehorn.. made it to the boss for the 1st time and almost killed him.

Apologies mailman.. this round must be incredibly boring for you
