supercat Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I didn't notice it mentioned yet, but if you destroy the middle demons after there are none left to warp in, the top demon will never move down or attack you. If you want to take a break to grab a sandwich or something, you may kill off the bottom demons while leaving the top ones and then leave for as long as you like.

+batari Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 (edited) I did some checking into my roms, and I have a bugfixed version, which appears to have been dumped in 2002. The offending code seems to have been changed from: CMP #$54 L1482: BEQ L1482 to this: CMP #$54 NOP NOP Also, as it turns out, I was wrong about Nukey's "fix." It resets the level to zero when it gets to 85, which is not the same as the real fixed version which does no such thing. It doesn't return to level 0 until the level wraps from 255. So playing Nukey's version is cheating, since it will get easy again much sooner.

Omegamatrix Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Thanks for posting the rom, Batari. I'm not going to make it to that level this week, but other players here certainly will. Much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I think I am going to do pretty good in this game. My first attempt resulted in a score of 17750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellow Atari Man Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Should be interesting, never played this on Dif. A before Tips: *Try to stay away from the corners, they could mean death if you get trapped by demon fire! *STAY ALERT. Once you get killed, be ready to move the instant your next bunker appears onscreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keir Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I've been out of the loop for a while, but I can't resist a game of Demon Attack! I made it to 6,710 before my son woke up from his nap and I had to quit. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fellow Atari Man Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I forgot what a pain those oo demons are! 966918[/snapback] Yes, I hate those too It's just good to know you're close to starting it over, though, once you make it to that part in the game... Another tip: Stay alert, Part 2: stay aware of the demons' flight patterns, since, at times, they can swoop low and high...try to stay away from them when they're going to swoop very close to the surface, as you'll have a smaller chance of dodging their fire then, and a greater chance of being hit.

keilbaca Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 (edited) I always died when the demons shrunk to below their beam length. However, I found that long sweeping motions just after they fired and its clear for you to go, will get you past those levels, to my score. 28,875 EDIT: 76760 Edited November 18, 2005 by keilbaca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goochman Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 We had this game in a 2600 Decathlon at Twin Galaxies a few years back. Everyone was posting like 80K scores or something so 1 day I played this till I couldnt take it and posted a 900K score. Needless to say everyone got PO'd thinking I cheating since everyone else had the bad carts - I guess I must be Neo having the One Boring game though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 (edited) Question here: I know some poeple are using emulators & of course using the actual cart is OK. But what if we're playing, say, an Activision cart I dont have- is it kosher to play it using the PS2 Activision Anthology? (or some other collections disc, depending on the game). The games on there are damn near perfect. Edited November 19, 2005 by RJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
