I apologize for the alarm, master, however, we have reached the City of Mystery. And we are under attack!

Third attempt - 418,970 (OF COURSE, WITHOUT USING CONTINUOUS PLAY)

This time I scored between 110K and 120K on the first life.

OYAMAFAMILY TIPS:

To decrease the risk of collision with the enemies and missiles, I often use the following tactics:
1) Mountain Zone / Stick Zone: Ship positioned at the left side of the screen.
2) Rainbow Zones / Bleak Zone: Ship positioned at the center of the screen.
3) Stripped Zone: I always move the ship to the right because it's the side more confortable, with less risk of collision.
4) City of Mystery: Sometimes I destroy Gond immediately; it's better to get 2000 bonus points than to lose a life.
5) In the Bleak Zone, I often dock with Kemlus THREE TIMES per tunnel in order to earn 3270 bonus points.

Well I started feeling like a quitter and tried again. I am very pleased that I finally got it into six figures: 114,590. Woo Hoo! Morgan

I keep dying in the Stripe Zone. Sometimes my bullets are going right through the force field generators and I can't shoot them enough in time to avoid hitting them or the moving barrier behind them. In the last game, this happened three times in a row.
Also, I find that the wreckage from my enemies is also killing me, but that's easy to avoid hitting.

Gonna try on the 7800 because I know my heavy sixer has had issues with one other game.

EDIT: On the 7800, my missiles were passing through the Helms/Ammos. Maybe I'll have to go up the left side of the Stripe zone instead.

I went up to 235,130. I got blasted three times in one zone and that pretty much killed my game. The final death was by hitting a Kelmus after three dockings!

I literally went from an amazing game, to dying on the first level. I have no idea what the hell happened.

Unless I find some free time magically tomorrow, this is my final run.

I guess I'm done. I've gone backwards. Haven't got over 100k since I made that video.
