--- Quote from: GeoMan on April 28, 2014, 06:28:45 am ---Tip for better scores: 1. Try to always exit a level from the left or right side of the screen 2. As the bouncing ball uses the shortest path towards your player, you can use it sometimes to destroy any remaining robots by standing in a position so it will pass through the remaining robots. 3. Diagonals are deadly. Avoid positions where the robots can shoot diagonally at you. --- End quote --- Scoring Table: popsicle 20000 Comtek 09340 kixfan 08580 Geoman 08480 epetti 07140 thomas_surles 05710 pbj 03210 Generic Eric 02550 |

I've gotten over 7000 now but all I've seen are the dark cyan robots. According to Wikipedia: Two different versions of the game were released. In the original version, the sequence goes as follows: Dark yellow robots that do not fire Red robots that can fire 1 bullet (500 points) Dark cyan robots that can fire 2 bullets (1,500 points) In this version of the game, after 5,000 points, Evil Otto doubles his speed, moving as fast as the player while robots remain in the maze, and twice as fast as the player after all the robots are destroyed. The revised version, which had the much larger production run of the two, features a longer color sequence after the cyan robots: Green robots that fire 3 bullets (3k) Dark purple robots that fire 4 bullets (4.5k) Light yellow robots that fire 5 bullets (6k) White robots that fire 1 fast bullet (7.5k) Dark cyan robots that fire 2 fast bullets (10k) Light purple robots that fire 3 fast bullets (11k) Gray robots that fire 4 fast bullets (13k) Dark yellow robots that fire 5 fast bullets (15k) Red robots that fire 5 fast bullets (17k) Light cyan robots that fire 5 fast bullets (19k) At first I thought I was using the wrong set, but I double-checked my setup and the Game Information in MAME and I'm definitely on set 2. I don't see any dip switches that would change this. Any thoughts on what might be going on? Thanks. |

I have no idea what set I'm running on my Xbox, but what I read said the only difference was the speed of the bullets? I'm definitely getting white robots, though. I don't think anyone cares much about my setup as my score isn't competitive anyway. |

I was just about to post something about this too. I double checked am indeed running set 2 and can't find any robot color except ugly yellow, red, then the cyan/light blue ones that are the same forever after that. I played a game just now and one of the boards started with only ONE enemy robot, which made Evil Otto come out almost instantly and there was absolutely no way I could have made any exit. |
