NOTE: THIS WEEKS GAME HAS ENDED!

TIME PILOT

Game Info
Time Pilot is an arcade style shooter. Piloting your trusty spaceship, you need to destroy the squadrons of enemy craft that are attacking! On each level you have a quota of enemies that need to be destroyed. After fulfilling your quota, a final boss of the level will appear; when destroyed, you will move on to the next level. The game begins in the year 1910, and each time a level is completed you advance in time. In 1910 you only have to face relatively unarmed biplanes, but as the levels advance so does the technology. Each new level brings with it tougher, more heavily armed aircraft including jets, helicopters, and even flying saucers! From time to time, you will encounter a parachute; if you run into this, you will earn bonus points.

What exactly do you have to do to finish a medal?

[Mister VCS]

You earn a medal if you finish four "timezones" (1910, 1940, 1970 and 1985). The manual shows the final medal.
The bonus point should be reserved for the final medal.

[Ikrananka]

I hate this game big time - I find the control method really hard to get to grips with and the collision detection way off. Anyway, I will persevere and maybe it'll grow on me. So far got up to 37,200.

[darthkur]

57,300

It's a shame that the home ports of this game omitted the flying saucers level.

[LaserHawk]

LaserHawk earns his "Time War Wings"








46,200

[theking21083]

I have the poll up now for game 4B.

[Ikrananka]

Even though I don't like this game on the CV I somehow got in the zone (maybe changing to the stock Atari 2600 controller helped) and managed to get 93,900.
