Getting closer :)

8,844

Man, those AT-AT's get fast! Still, my biggest problem is avoiding their shots, but I'm getting better at hitting those bomb hatches. I try to draw the AT-AT's head up if the lower bomb hatch openes, and vice versa if the upper bomb hatch opens. I also noticed that you can hit the back bomb hatch from the front, as well as hitting the two front bomb hatches from the back.

I'm liking this game! Gets the adrenaline going :D

Thanks Fellow ;)

And now.... here's my latest score :

9,068 :cool:

Tip of the day : Always fight against the Empire with the stomach full :D

I think this is my latest submission for this game, a man must know his limits and I doubt I could make better... well okay my thumb is totally destroyed :?

Anyway I had a lot of fun.

I hope next's week game will be a Paddle's one.

Goodnight everybody...

If this is true, then you have given the most valuable hint possible for this game. :-o

My fingers hurt - enough for now. Good job y'all, I'm impressed :thumbsup:

Just for grins I tried using a rapid fire Sega controller and was able to get to 7751. However that's non-standard equipment, so don't count it.

Bah ha ha ha...I hadn't played this game in so long I had forgotten how slow the scoring is :D Thought all the scores were low the first day or two until *I* played the damn thing.

Anyway, not much competition from me this week, only had time for a couple of games. Oh well, happy 4th everybody.

I believe the Standings are based on the prior week, so you'll show up in the next week's standings for Solar Storm when they get added in.
