asteroids

I asked this very question nearly a month ago and no one responded. It's the very last post in that thread.

Anyway I'd like to know too. The way I understand it, is that there are multiple ROM revisions, and the people who hold the world record are playing on easier (earlier) revisions of the game. I can't say for sure though, as no one responded to my query.
 
My best is 42k so far, I think I could get better at the "lurking" technique if I put more time in, I have the second revision rom's as well.
 
There is a hiding spot on rom set 1 but that's not allowed by infamous TG standards, rightfully so. Then there is the hunt saucer strategy where you thrust across the screen and whack the saucers as they come out, never mastered the aim myself to do it very well. Then you can just play the game, more fun anyway. No major tricks just skill and practice on the aim. I will add that when just playing the game hitting the fastest asteroids first is the best strategy to clear the levels without getting flaked by a rock.

i generally follow that strategy of hitting fast ones forst, but those little spaceship blighters get me just about everytime grrr.

ill try the suggestioins and see how i go...
 
I don't claim to be an expert at the game, my high is around 100k but I've seen some insane player use both strategies, the aim on the saucer is definitely key not to mention escaping their shots. They will aim where you are on the screen so rolling to the other side helps there. Fun game, I should play mine more often I was just never really that into the game bitd.
