For maximum points you'd just drive your second through second-to last tanks straight into that 1000-point sprite, firing all the way. Use your final tank to destroy Kuhn-Lin for a sweet 52,000 point bonus.
My cousins and I played the HELL out of this. After we all beat it we started playing to see who could rack up the most points. I think we topped out north of 700,000.
See the point amounts sprites that pop up when you shoot something? Shooting that sprite again gave you the same amount of points. The 1,000 point sprite for the level-2 tank was the key... you had to hit it at a point where you could maneuver around its shot and the obstacles while firing continuously...
Whoah, great memories. I've never seen it played as smoothly as this. I would spend many summer days trying to beat this game, and it was one of my favorites.
Thx so much for uploading this video. A real trip down memory lane! I didn't actually enjoy this game very much - it took too long to get to the beach!! :)
Even without nostalgia, what an absolutely wonderfull game this still is. The gameplay in place for each of the game parts is very well realised with risk vs reward on the final tank section especially suprising
Something great will remain just that and here is a fine example
