One of my old favourites - in the past I even managed to beat all 4 levels of this.

First try deep into Level 3: 144360

Some tips for the newcomer:

• Mines are useless
• Bombs are good to clear the path, e.q. kill grey blocks or green plants
• use the Seekers for the big green and red baddies that hang on the walls
• when in doubt use the Shield
• learn where to use which weapon
• the protecting stars affect the frame rate of the ST version - some spots are easier to master if you don't have them
• collect at least 5000 points worth of diamonds per Level (your mission is to retrieve them afterall)

The fourth level is crazy !
It's as long as the first 3 combined

[ThorN]

Great score, hope another Play through medal could be given away to you

Thanks Thorn and here my finale score : 224101 game completed

The end is disappointing but as in many games at that time...

[simonsunnyboy]

At least the game has an end and does not simply get so hard that you can't ever win....
I think there were titles with the latter behaviour too.

Now let's try if I can keep on your toes

5 before 12 - so to speak. At least i managed to reach Level 4.

Final score for this one: 209987

Concratulation Xerus, well done.

The game is made of only a few simple components, and they made a huge number of levels out of it. A real classic

Final table:

1. Xerus
2. SSB
3. Thorn

Yes, I agree with that too
Good conversion of a 8 Bits game, the level 4 is the new attraction for the 16/32 bits
Sadly, we can not listen the music during the game and the sound effects are too basic; it's the only issue in this version.
