Keep this in mind if you are taking on multiple stations in one area. Enemy Stations can be oriented with the missile bay facing left/right or up/down.In addition, the pods fire back on your ship. To do this, though, means you will have to deal with more enemy missiles since you have to constantly loop around to hit the cannons. This method also enables you to get more points in the long run. The other way is to destroy all six cannons around the space station.You can easily destroy this missile with your ship. After round three, the station will fire a missile if your fighter is in the missiles path. By round three, the missile bay has a door which opens and closes to make it more of a challenge. This is easy to do on the first two rounds. The first way is to fire a shot directly into their missile bay.The Enemy Stations can be destroyed two ways :.Just keep in mind that the space debris doesn't return until the next round. You score points regardless of whether you hit the enemy, or if you use other means to assist, such as the mines or rocks. Use the space debris to your advantage.This means if anything is trying to 'sneak' up on you, they won't stand a chance. By that same token, your ship fires lasers from both the front and back.Just because they are lined up in a row doesn't mean that the missile bays are facing the same direction. Then quickly figure out a systematic way of destroying them since time is one's enemy in this game. At the beginning of the round, quickly look at your radar to determine where the Enemy Stations are.This means you will have to learn to use the joystick proficiently so that you can maneuver away from these enemy missiles attempting to commit suicide on your ship. Be aware that the enemy missiles are faster then your ship.Your fighter stays in the middle of the screen. The radar doesn't show, though, all the space debris all over the place and the enemy fighters (unless they are in formation). Your radar display will show how many space stations need to be taken out. The action starts immediately as soon as you start your game.'(c) 1981 NAMCO LTD.' will be added at the bottom of the screen. Keep B1 pressed and enter the following sequence : Up(x5), Right(圆), Down, Left(x4).(announced by synthesized voice stating 'Spy Ship Sighted')īonus for no-miss clear (completing a round without dying) - this bonus is given only when the game is set to auto difficulty : multiplier x number of bases, the multiplier starts at 100 points and increases by 100 points each time you get the bonus up to 1000 points. For example, the setup for Round 4 on the other versions is the same as the setup for Round 6 on the new Namco. This is also true regarding where your fighter starts at. Both versions have the same Enemy Base setups, but they are in different order as the rounds go up. In the NEW Namco version, the Enemy Base setup is different.
