DKong Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) Game 10: Exerion Rom: exerion Randomly selected from the MGL 9 game list, game 33 on the list http://www.klov.com/images/10/1057898860.jpg http://www.klov.com/images/11/1181242105212.png No Current Hi-Score Manufacturer: Jaleco Year: 1983 Class: Wide Release Genre: Shooter Type: Videogame Monitor: Orientation: Vertical Type: Raster: Standard Resolution CRT: Color Conversion Class: unique Number of Simultaneous Players: 1 Maximum number of Players: 2 Gameplay: Alternating Control Panel Layout: Single Player Controls: Joystick: 8-way Buttons: 2 [slow Shot|Fast Shot] Sound: Amplified Mono (one channel) Exerion Description This is a shoot-em-up game with parallax effects in the background and a nice simulation of inertia in the control of the ship. You have lots of enemies and two kinds of shooting, slow and fast. Cheats, Tricks and Bugs BUG: In the challenge stage, if you shoot all 40 aliens you normally get a bonus charge of 60. Sometimes a red hydra comes out during this stage. If you shoot it and all 40 aliens, you get a total of 41. The game seems to fail the test of 'hits=40' and only gives you a bonus charge of 41. HINT: Try so build your supply of bullets for the fast cannon so it can be used in critical situations. HINT: To get a high score, if you do not miss any shots your bonus score will keep on doubling to 10000 then reset to 000. When at 10000 miss a shot then bonus score will revert to 5000. Game Play In this game you have two weapon systems: one slow double-shot cannon and one fast single-shot cannon. With each enemy hit by the slow cannon you get one shot added to the fast cannon ammunition supply. After each stage there is a challenge stage where you can also build your fast-shot supply. (http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7731) Games are picked through a random generator from the list compiled in the MGL 9 thread. To have your games included in the pick you need to submit a score. You can add to this list at any time. Remember to make your score valid you need to post your score in the subject line and don't forget your screen shot, any troubles let me know. Mid week bonus of 10 MGL points are awarded to the highest submitted score as at Midnight Wednesday. The highest submitted score at the end of the MGL week will receive 100 MGL points. Your scores need to be in by next Monday 5th of October BY 8PM (NSW daylight savings time). DKong Edited September 29, 2009 by DKong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rat Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) 124,700 Cool game, I find the way it moves very frustrating, but fair, and different so therefore interesting. Not much time to play this week, I hope to find time to beat this score on Monday arvo. Edited September 30, 2009 by Rat slightly higher score 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKong Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 One of my all time fav's, maybe because I spent a fair whack of year 11 playing this in the common room instead of attending classes :laugh: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 145,700 Had a couple tries - I like this game, though I'm not that good at it :D Especially like the huge pixellated bird/robots, reminds of the good old days of C64 gaming :laugh: The inertia of the ship trying to avoid things can be interesting. Shudder to think of the winning score on this game - given the mad shmuppaz around here.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKong Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) 815,700 I was having a hell of time with this, for some reason the version of MAME I was using would cause the game to reset once I had passed 100,000 and lost a life, One game I had 300,000 + and died and the game reset :realmad::realmad::realmad: Went back to an earlier version of MAME and now it works!!:) Edited September 30, 2009 by DKong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionZ Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Nice score DK, Ive got the original board for this one, never really played it though, except to test the board, looking forward to having a bash later in the week.

Jed Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Huge opener :cool: Can I ask for a tip :) Should you use both fire buttons at once to get the triple shot most of the time, or just mostly the double shot ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly use the double shot, I only use the rapid when in trouble . First couple of screens I don't touch the rapid. You will see why ;) BTW its all in the tips and tricks in the first post:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kane Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 wheres the 1942 loop to loop when you get in trouble? I know what you mean, any vertical shooter like this one, whenever I get stuck I always go for the Pheonix shield button, in this case all it does is a double shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and use your double shot as your main shooter so you can stockpile the single shooter, which if you hold down becomes rapid fire. But only use in short bursts,don't use it all at once :067: :018: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were unable to resize your file so you will need to do so manually and upload it again. Your file is currently 224 x 320."<<< im thinking this size was acceptable?
