Star Control II - Melee Deathmatch One (Part Three)

Recorded using DOSbox 0.65. The final minutes of battle. Alix was yelling at me at the end to just give up and let my Mycon die, but I lingered and regenerated just to spite him. Mwaha. I did end up losing though. Oh well.
Yes, battles in melee can sometimes take a good long time, depending on how skilled the pilots are. We're both out of practice.

why would you choose orz vs pkunk? makes no sense. druuge wasn't that good a choice either imo, you just had a lucky shoot.

We set the ships to be chosen randomly.

omg man, you suck! lol.

Both of you. The Spathi shoulda killed itself out of frustration =b

The Mycon should have used the planets gravitational pull to greater advantage. Orbit the planet and regenerate and use it as a shield and keep a smaller side of yourself exposed.

Please feel free to upload your own video of melee "should" be done.

0:34 hahaha crashed into the planet.

also Backwards Utilized Tracking Torpedo, B.U.T.T. for the win.

The best tactic for the Mycon vs Spathi is to utilize gravity assist for max speed, fly backwards and trail plasma balls behind as you pass in encounters. Cuts down on the embarassment of running into your own shots as well.

PLANET OWNED!!!!!!!!!!

I really really miss this game, playin with my buddies back at the computer club....

p.s. : nice recording, lousy play. Spathi could had won the mmrrrmmrhhmmm if only it didn't just sit there doing nothing. And the mycon, for god sake, use the planet more, don't bump into it... well, spathi always owns anyway.

p.s. 2: I think I know why both of u play that way, u must key jamming each other...lol!

As Mojojono said, the Mycon Podship in capable hands can outlast an Eluder, just by slingshotting around the gravity well. Turn earlier to back him off so that he can't tall you as he did around 01:50. Thanks for noting how you recorded this with DOSbox 0.65 - I'll be sure to post a melee or two when time permits! This really brings back the memories; I haven't played against a human since around 1993

[MOJOJONO]

man it'd be awesome if there was online multiplay SC2

Haven't played against a human player for ages
