Tips and tricks?
- Practice for about 20 years to sharpen your reflexes and mind. I used to playEA at the North Rocky bowling alley in the 80's, when the rich kids were throwing their money away at Dragon's Lance and Space Ace.
- Just try to get through the levels, rather than maxing points.
- when coming down an elevator, always jump off and kick guys below you - they won't shoot.
- bring the elevator down far enough to get the guys to shoot, then go back up for a moment so that the bullet misses. Then kill them at leisure.
- when coming up in an elevator, jump up and shoot to get the guys waiting for you.
- crouch whenever possible, as this makes you a smaller target.
- when waiting, crouch at the end of a corridor, in front of the closest door. If that door opens, you can just kick the guy coming out.
Your dude has the equivalent of a 9mm semi-auto pistol, while the guards have the equivalent of muskets and only half a brain. Even my mother would know what to do. Tease them to shoot their loaded shot, then move in for the kill as they reload.
If you find that the controls keep f*cking you up, try setting your joystick to 4-way as the game is designed that way.
Neat tip about extra points in the dark, I had never realised before that it adds 50 onto each kill done in the dark. Explains away a confusion I've had over what points you get for what kill.
The end-level bonuses are worth it. Each time you finish it jackpots up another 1000 points, so by the time you are finishing level 5 you get 5000 points.
That's all for now!
