Decent game, quite enjoyable but I think Banshee is better.

The problem with Battle Squadron is that the main sprite is such a sitting duck, because its just too big!! .. I almost feel as though i am flying a Bus

And oh yeah, it timed out when i was entering my name so it ended up being B8A

@blade: I suggest you use the PAL-version of this game which has a 28% larger playfield (see first post). Then the proportions are way better...

DamienD · 05 November 2008, 19:06

Decided to have a quick game of Battle Squadron today... Managed to beat the underground part of level 2 for the first time

910475

Unfortunately though I entered my name as AAA

Ship too big and too slow

That's because you play the NTSC-version which sucks.

CHook/OTT · 06 November 2008, 09:06

Thanks for the pointer (probably explains why the sprites are screwed up on WinUAEX) I've downloaded the ADF you've linked in page 1

john4p · 06 November 2008, 09:15

You're welcome. I want everyone to enjoy this gem in its full glory.

DamienD · 06 November 2008, 14:21

Even with the PAL version I still think that the ship is too big and too slow

blade002 said it perfectly

Thank You Damien

I find the game a real bitch because of this reason and i hate the idea of "hit with 1 bullet, instant death!, aka R-Type". I have already given up on Battle Squadron due to these reasons because rather than enjoy it, all i find is that i am infuriated with the game!

Actually when i first played the game in about 1990 and i know probably played it only a couple of times and never played it again, and when it came into this competition i was left wondering "why is that!?". Now i "know" why i gave up on it 18 years ago.

I will just be focusing on Banshee.

Battle Squadron i felt similar with. The ship did seem a bit bigger. not a bad game overall. But, i personally would but banshee over battle squandron and even silk worm for that matter.

As for R-type: atleast you can get the shield and throw it to the front or back of your ship to protect you from just about anything.

DamienD · 07 November 2008, 22:16

Alrighty, managed to "finish" the game today

Basically you beat all 3 above ground / underground levels and then you fight the mothership. Afterwards the games restarts but has faster enemies + bullets...
