So by now some of you realize I've been looking for people that enjoy Robotron, so they can contribute to my little website experiment. And it has provided the pleasure of meeting some really fun characters in the hobby.
Have you met "(+_+)" from BYOAC, yet?
(If not, his robo-bio is under Introduction>Robotron Players on my site.)
The guy plays "extreme" master level robotron on difficulty 10.
Here is a tip he contributed that I've just gotta share. Crazy, crazy, crazy skill level.
BONUS TRICK- Nine Wave Special-
•This trick provided by "(+_+)" from BYOAC.
•You need to break out of the center on the grunt wave (9, 19, 29,... etc waves).
•Let's say straight downword, proceed into one of the corners.
•Let's say the bottom, right hand corner and then break through the grunts once again by going diagonally up towards the left.
•It can be insane especially on the harder difficulties since the grunts tend to "leap".
•If done correctly, it appears as though the grunts are melting up against you because you are shooting them at such close range.
•Sometimes it is easy, sometimes impossible and sometimes you experience a "Nine Wave Special with Meltations".

(Wave 9 starts at the 2:40 mark)
That is difficulty setting on 10! (using non-current version of mame which is over twice as fast a real machine no less...oi vay!)
