Yes, those twin planes are a pain to take out, but the real death knell comes from the heavily armored boats on round 3. Your game essentially ends after your first life is lost on this round because you won't even be able to defend yourself without full firepower. One of my all-time favorite games, Darius, also suffers from this. While I have cleared the game before, I had to do it on a single life, because once you die, the game is essentially over.

The helicopter is definitely the best choice because you can 'waggle' in place and spread fire over about half the screen.

As far as I can remember the hi-score here is from @GtBFilms : 235110.

The @UDb23 's new Pang overlay made me play it again. And this is my hi-score: 238350 270270 340830

@twd Now the 'backup your data' lesson is one we've all learnt the hard way at some point!

I didn't get as far as the purple goo, but I did check out a YouTube play through to see what to expect next, and someone played through with that goo making the ship totally invisible. I thought at the time, there's no way I am going to make it through that! Seemed a bit weird there was then a whole lot more levels (including 'PRO' mode going through them all again!) when I reckoned most people would have run out of credits getting through that purple goo.

The fact it is meant to be transparent makes a lot more sense!

Was definitely more a fan of Space Duel. 4-D Warriors is a bit choppy and hard to figure out what exactly is going on.

I think I need to turn up the definition on my vector preferences, the little + shaped mines were really hard to see on a small screen.

@meleu
Yeah, I'm enjoying trying out some unknown games that I wouldn't normally know about, thanks for taking the time to organise this @meleu
