Some gameplay footage

[SpiceWare]

Glad there's a 2 week window, don't have this game(well, I do, but it's the 2600 version) so I bought a copy on ebay.

[Gorfy]

This game's going to take me a while to get used to....... Best so far is a measly 7,706.

[Mord]

18,376.

[classicgamer_27330]

Well in no hope of winning,



I suck at this game

[Curious Sofa]

16,696

Sorry no screenshot, still having trouble with ProSystem (and don't have the cart for Desert Falcon). Here's eagerly awaiting the Harmony 2....

I find the 2600 version WAYYYY easier. Four extra upper case Ys easier.

I basically only try for the hold Sphinx and invincible spells IIRC, as everything else is pretty weak sauce.

[SpiceWare]

I've only put the 2600 version in to confirm the cart work, haven't played it. The tracking number says my cart left Kentucky yesterday, should have it by the end of the week

[roadrunner]

IMO this game is much better than Zaxxon.
It's fun to collect the different hieroglyphs.
I usually end up with points. Speed Up is a good power up.

As Harry Caray might of said

HOLY COW

[Gorfy]

Finally made it to the sphinx, but didn't know what to do. I'll have to consult the manual.

You have to hit the Sphinx between the eyes. That's a pretty good score for not beating the Sphinx at least once.

I was quite surprised at my score. When the game ended, i checked to see if i accidentally shifted over to novice setting, but it was still at standard. I think my high score was due, in part, to treasures i picked up and to all the beasties i shot down, especially at the sphinx. I don't think i got past the sphinx because i ended up a short distance before the sphinx again, so I assume it was because i lost a life. What happens when you get past the sphinx?

My score is from stage 3, I guess you spent time defeating enemies while I just dodged.

After the sphinx is 2 20 second bonus stage

[Gorfy]

A best for me anyway.

This one is like RealSports Baseball for me too. I thought I didn't like it, but it's pretty great.
