Hints and Tips

The Manual

As always, you really should read the manual. Unfortunately, AtariAge does not have a copy of the manual for this game, and there are no real hints in it anyways.

For level 2 i stay on the left side of the screen, that's where the 3 fuel things are at.

I started this HSC Competition with 1000 points. This time my goal is to beat Twin-Galaxy High Score - 2970 points by David Yancey.

Level 2 - score 2840

4910 / Level 3

Since Strategy X is not one of my favorite games and I beat the TWIN GALAXIES WORLD RECORD (2970 points by David B. Yancey), this is my final attempt.
