Haven't heard of or played either of the first two games, and after one game of each I think they are the sorts of games that I will suck at

[DKong]

Took me a while to work out what was going on, stayed on the opening screen and kept shooting Then went into a warp zone and completed a level and
thought WTF now so tried to land the craft on the blue things, oh OK they are fuel dumps you collect with the third button :roll eyes
Then was like how do I leave the mission oh OK just fly up :roll eyes
Love this game, would be an awesome original to have.

So 6100 so far

[JustAnotherRat]

Had 3 games of this so far (never played it before). Thought my scores were OK until I realised the number I was looking at was my fuel. I think I scored about 400.... not really liking this game (yet).

Never played this before...

Whoever picked this should be shot. Lol I have no idea what's going on

[John73]

I'm guessing we are playing this MGL in order of least votes to most votes as usual - I can't believe in a comp where we are playing "never before played" games that the first two games have had 2 votes for each of them, it will be interesting to see what comes up in the next 6 games.

Yes, curse those handsome devils...

Just getting warmed up, first solar system finished without the super bonus.



Love this game, the level of finnese required is something I've not seen in any other arcade game. Unfortunately the learning curve is quite steep so those who havn't played it before are going to have to work extra hard

Yes a stunning game, I will post some great pics when you guys get a little warmed up ...

One of the best posts in this MGL and will be hard to beat ...

After the games are selected, I arrange the order for max interest with variety and to avoid two or three consecutive similar games.

Oooh boy, he's right ...

A brilliant vector game and I am glad this came up for you guys to enjoy.
Asteroids + Lunar Lander + Vector Imagination (if anyone is good enough to reach it) = Good Luck!

i've nominated this heaps of times for mgl's in the past but it hasn't come up.

Some of the levels are crazy hard but patience and persistance pays off but yes the learning curve is steep as it gets hard very quickly.

But once you get the hang of manoevering the ship and mastering the gravity... you can have heaps of fun with this game. keep a light touch on the controls

Finished first solar system with full super bonus, crashed and burned on the second as usual...



Also, I recommend players change the beam to 1.3 and the gamma to 2 in the mame.ini file for super bright eye burning vectors.

[Barra]

Have played a tiny bit of this, looking forward to the challenge

Great score Kane. He is the man to beat, do you recall playing this in the comp at xxxx-1 years ago ? I have a vague recollection. ..
