Nice Score!

I was thinking about asking the same thing!   I have only gotten to the 5th stage a couple of times.   I get stopped where you are at the top of the screen and have to make it to the bottom very quickly.  I think you need to drop a couple very timely bombs just as you exit so that you don't hit the fuel tanks.   If that's where you are stuck also!   ;D

No, it's the section in this video at 3:00 where there is just flying up and down in large square caverns.  I swear the video poster must have an easier rom or have easy dipswitch settings because the scrolling seems a lot slower - I never seem to have enough time to get all the way to the top or bottom (you have to basically hold the stick diagonally back and up/down and start RIGHT after your ship clears the barrier, like even touching your engine flame to the wall).

First game - 1370.
OK. So I shoot the fuel tanks, not try to pick them up.
Second game - 7200.
Third game - 12440.
I'll try again in the morning when I'm not half asleep.

Nope, still can't do it! That damn brick tunnel on LV5

24,460 <-on my 1st try
29,500 <-on 3rd try

(as PL noted, I'm being very humble right now!)

Hmmm, I thought this had been picked.....I used to play this on Vectrex till I got bored. The arcade version is slightly harder in that I haven't since I've been playing it in MAME been able to get past that quick zig-zag in the tunnel. Elsewise I'd probably play it till I got bored. You need a good stick, one that doesn't too easily register diagonals, which was why the Vectrex stick was awesome. Looking at how 90-degree-ish that person's movements are, I'm betting they're using a keyboard.
