Just scored 5070. what would that be ?
(Everything about this game is hard, even reading the score )

That was a game 3 score. Got all the way to level 24 ....... I wonder what that $30 could buy me

The rule for the score is:
(score modulo 50) * 10,000 + score - (score modulo 50)

So the score is 205050.

So you got to level 24 on game 3 but didn't beat it

Can't wait to see a final screen in a PM from you.

And on a side note I don't know if there are any games that are exactly 30 in the store, so you might have to settle with a $25 one. I only got a $15 one when I won (by my choice)

Oops, I missed that one before. Sounds great!

If you can, please try to record your attempt. I would love to see how you master the game. Then we can compare it with Brad's video.

I'd love to but I can't (no working video recorder and I couldn't get it onto the computer anyway )

One quick question, When you get the final screen do you have to pause it like the mission
compleate screens or does it stay on screen indefinetly?

IIRC (and there is no bug hidden ) you have infinite time. Brad should be able to confim this.

I didn't even know this thread was here

Seems to me though that happy dude's way ahead of me as far as good enough to win though.

Yes, I think you will have as much time as you need, but it might be a good idea to just flip the pause switch for good measure.

I think the final screen stays on forever and the music ends after a while.

I haven't beat it for a while and I never left it on longer than it took to listen to the music and take a picture if needed.

[Happy_Dude]

Cool. I'll leave it run as long as it can just to see

I found an unverified bug. It takes to damn long for me to bother trying again but I was
prety sure I had a lot of fule left when this happened (see pic) Is it possible for the Fule
value to roll over? If so then it's not tracked and you end up with very little fule.
Nothing is more painful than running out of fule with 8 lives remaining

I have never rolled the fuel over. I always just played game 3. No chance of that happening when you start with 400 fuel

Thomas knows the exact amount of fuel that would be possible up to that level. You only get 300 each so I don't think it would be too easy to get to roll it over.

Looks like your getting the hang of the score too

I don't think so, the counter goes up to 9999 before it would roll over and I really doubt you can get collect much fuel. But you are right, there is no roll over check.

If anybody ever can get close to a roll over again, please inform me.

I just verified this. It doesn't look like you can beat game one without a lot of fule wasting.

After about how many missions did or would this happen?

Around mission 35.
I think once I hit 9000 fule I'll just start shooting the fule dumps

Thanks.

For more points you should waste fuel by using the shield instead of shooting the fuel dumps.

When I was attempting to beat it I never played game one. I put it on game 3 and just kept going at it.

Good job on finding another bug.

This game has been out for so long I think it is pretty funny that nobody has the motivation to master it unless there is a contest.

This has to be one of the best selling homebrews that nobody plays

It is a bit hard, you have to admit...

I like the fact that you can't continue after losing all of your lives. That's kind of a lost art these days...

Well done!

Glad you like(d) it. Which variation was that?

[Happy_Dude]

Game 3.
I hadn't played it in about a month so I just sat down for a quick game and next thing you know I'v mastered it






Now it's time to master game 2

[bjk7382]

Congratulations Happy_Dude!

It is great to see somebody else finally beat this game

It would be nice to see this contest to get continued by happy_dude sometime in the future also Make it like an ongoing thing I am sure the next one would probly go even slower than this one though. I know it is an older game, but it doesn't mean it shouldn't be played

I'll believe it when I see it

I have tried, what feels like hundreds of times and I fail every time. I think it is as close to impossible as it could be. (Game 4 will make you realize how hard it is, once you hit the 5th level and your trying to get out of the bottom by the ball)
