Hadn't played this for ages and got right back into it last night. Anyone know how many "sheilds" per level you get??

 

By the way Amy nice discription on how to play...."shoot things" :lol

 

I don't think there is a set number of shields per round it just takes a few seconds to recharge - maybe 4-5 - but has unlimited uses per round?

 

I enjoy playing this game too but not sure how good I am in relation to others - will be interesting to find out - or embarrassing LOL.

 

Cheers

usually i find embarrasing, but i got a bit over 7000 last night. With a bit more practise hopefully more. the mother ships are tough with slow fire power. mashing the button endlessly doesn't seem to make it fire more quickly...hehe

Hey all,

 

Only joined Aussie Arcade recently and to my joy, found the gaming league. Great idea :) I have one of those xxxx-in-1 systems in a cab.

 

Here's my first posted score, 11,610 for Phoenix. The game definitely gets a fair bit tougher tougher from screen 11 onwards. The third saucer is tough. Never made the 4th saucer...

 

Welcome,

Have you ever got the 200,000 bonus in Phoenix

Secret Bonus in Phoenix

 

I never knew about the secret bonus in Phoenix. Googled it just now though. Will give that a shot ;) Sounds easy but I bet it's not. Will give this game another shot with that tip, cheers.

 

I'd say anyone that can pull off that triple trick shot, will take out the Phoenix challenge...

Okay, so I managed to get the 200K bonus. If it is decided that it's not cool to do this in MGL, then put me down for my previous high of 28,220 which can also be seen it the same screenshot there.

 

So here's what happened - Did it completely by accident, didn't even read up on how to do it, just doing what the instructions said, "Shooting Things". I was on the 1st saucer level and 4 phoenix's came down attacking side by side. They reached the bottom and then all 4 proceeded back up the screen all flapping their wings as they do. I shifted across them, shooting, and I suppose I hit 3 of them in a row and was awarded the 200K. Cool!

 

Good luck players :p

I'm going for my hi score, to me the 200k trick :lol is a bug in the scoring.

 

But it seems most info available suggests it's a bonus. (Mame history file tells it a little better).

 

I prolly should of posted one of these midweek, I got it twice on one of em while I was on 215k, score went backward - some bonus :rolleyes

 

WR is only 987K - 'smoke me a kipper'

22,680

 

Playing some of my best phoenix, seems to happen when you play the same game for a while similar to when it would of been stuck in the Fish and Chip shop for weeks, no other option.

Couldn't get a 200,000 bonus anyway IMO it is a bug and shouldn't be included in the scores:p

 

Score :Edit update from 46,690

 

46,690 now thats a good ( Fair dinkum) score, well done, How many times completed?

Love this era of games :D

 

The Golden Era!

 

This game is not fair with shield use! I press it and die when i shouldn't.

 

Yeah I try to only use the shield as a last resort and then its only 50/50 unless you are ramming some low hugging enemies that keep crawling along the bottom. Pity you can't move once you activate the shield.

I'd agree it's the golden age of arcade gaming for sure. The early-mid 80s when playability was king but they still managed to break new ground with so many cool games.

 

wingtip - at least you can still shoot through the shield! But having said that I'm always either too late to press it when relying on it - ie sitting under a load of fire to get that last hit on the enemy saucer with the alien inside - and so I die in a hail of Xs, ^s and /s - heheh the debris makes me laugh every time :laugh: Still an awesome score mate :o

 

World record near on 1 million - holy f***!!!!

 

Cheers

I found keeping the shield button depressed longer helped.

I had a few games on Galaxians inbetween games, but kept going for the shield button :lol
