Re: Tempest Gameplay Question

Thanks for the tips Eric! I'll have to try to improve my score after I
fix my Tempest's monitor, which just died. :-(

I eventually figured out on my own that the different types of tankers
actually look different, but I consider myself merely "good", not
"great". I've never gotten to the invisible levels, and that's playing
with five starting lives and a bonus every 10K. My main tactic is to
eliminate flipper tankers and flippers before they get to the top and
just dodge fuseballs and pulsars as best I can. (I take out pulsars
when there aren't any flippers to worry about.) I guess I need a lot
more practice shooting flippers that are already on the edge. I already
use the long-spike machine-gun technique, so now I'll have to master the
wide-angles strategy.
