From Wikipedia: Volfied is an arcade game designed by Fukio Mitsuji and released by Taito in 1989. It is a successor to Qix, with extra features and a futuristic science fiction aesthetic, rather than Qix's abstract geometry style; the player pilots a small spaceship named "Monotros" instead of a Stix, and the enemies come in the form of various aliens.
Taking place in another galaxy, a space pilot is returning to his home world of Volfied, only to discover that it is under attack by an unknown alien force. The few remaining Volfied inhabitants are in an underground location of the planet and signal the pilot to their aide. The pilot flies to Volfied using his ship's defensive weapons in order to eliminate the alien threat and save his people.
Competition ends Sunday, March 6th at midnight Pacific time.
Good luck!

Not a bad game, but there is too much luck involved.
I agree. Good, but random.

Yeah you must be really bored, :lol
I'm just going to put a complaint here, knowing that i am whining. Those star-shaped things that come flying from off screen at completely random times are bull-crap.
That is all, thank you. : )

This game is borderline impossible with an 8-way. The ship comes to a dead stop. :P
I don't know if you have a regular PC setup available to you, but i have played this on my cab with 4-ways, and on my keyboard. The keyboard is MUCH more accurate. This game really benefits from precise controls.

That is not random, they appear when you are in drawing mode and stay in one spot for too long.
Edit : I stand corrected. I just encountered for the first time ever a whole bunch of them in round three. They went away after they killed me.

Yeah, upon playing more, i realized that. I think it keeps a clock of total time stopped on each stage. Or at least that's what it seems like. Beginning on stage 2, I get a death by those things at least once per stage. There are just times when i can't seem to go anywhere, unless i want instant death.

IIRC you can kill those star things by clearing an area they are passing in same as the other obstacles :dunno
If you are just getting the one for styaing immobile too long, no problem, you just move to ged rid of it. I had a swarm of them, several of them onscreen at the same time, the whole thing lasting some seconds until I got killed. I don't know how long this would have lasted, but you definetely cannot kill all of those.

Also, isnt there a 1mil point bonus too?
Post by: acvieluf on March 01, 2016, 05:39:32 am
Havent tried this game yet, but looking it up, it kinda reminds me of jezzball, except you can go in any direction.99.9% gives you a 500,000 pt bonus. If there is a a million, it's not obvious.

I actually had a hunch, when you had been quiet for a little longer than usual, that you were going to come back with the score maxed at just under 10mil. I wasn't TOO far off! :)

I'll try to beat the game just for the heck of it, but rounds 12 and higher are really hard to do with my crappy gamepad. My highest round was 13 so far.

After much looking around (picking a game that hasn't been picked is hard) next game will be bagman.
do I put the thread up? And if so do I just copy the format of this thread?
Cheers.
