The loss of your first ship or the loss of both AFTER obtaining the double fighter? You can get the double ship. You need to stop playing after you die for the first time.

You need to stop playing after you die for the first time. Just for the sake of complete clarity, if you get double ship and then get hit and lose one of the two ships, does that count as a death or do you actually have to "die" in the sense that it resets the enemy formation and respawns your ship? Which is it: A - Double ship down to one ship is when you stop and take a picture, or B - Double ship down to losing both and respawning is when you stop and take your picture? Galaga - Stage 31, Score 266,020 + 30k Commando - Stage 2-1, Score 19,650 Edited December 4, 2023 by Dr. Morbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One year, he couldn't get past the very first enemy he saw in the overworld of Challenger. Skinny playing Boulder Dash... seriously??? He's awesome at shooters, I'll give him that, but come on, man... Edited November 27, 2023 by Dr. Morbis 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, reserved for score... Losing both and respawning is when you stop and take your picture. You have to die and pause after the "ready" for your next life, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve done better. I will play more this week and get the hang of it. I played commando a few more times and I’m remembering more and more each time.

NESfiend | 1,515 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 There was once a time when I wasnt too bad at Galaga. Unfortunately, I played last night and quickly remembered that time was like 10 years ago. Never played commando. Should be able to pick up a copy tomorrow afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
