The hardest parts of this game are: - figuring out that tapping the fire key will fire faster than holding it - fighting the boredom of this stupidly easy game Sure, it may be hard to keep yourself alive after the 4th run in the 3rd stage due to boredom... ...except if you use bombs. The game gives you So many of them, you can usually spend one to collect three or four. Seriously considering never getting the Lost Viking Gold achievement, it's just TOO BORING. | ||

Also use the side missiles, you'll kill more enemies = get points faster and also makes the levels easier (the bosses aren't that difficult except sometimes the terratron has annoying attack patterns). You'll use up more invincibility bombs on the zerg stage cause of all the scourge but you should be able to get through three runs no problem, and get the achievement before fighting the terratron the third time. | ||

I made it a small window and it became better. I have athlon x2 5400+ cpu (never planned on playing games). This should help. But I played on normal after and got the achievement even with the lag. You get used to it I think. | ||

It's rare that a keyboard can register more than 3. If you have a ps2 keyboard it should be able to register any number of key presses. this is because ps2 keyboards send CPU interrupts and USB keyboards have to be polled | ||

On my first few tries, I couldn't even get past the lvl 2 Leviathan, but after reading this thread and using Phenrei's script and this program http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Tutorial.htm, I did 500k in about 45 minutes without any trouble (finished on lvl 9, before reaching the third Terratron). I had 7 lives and 20 bombs left before I quit. I lost a total of 2 lives, both on the first Terratron, because I didn't use bombs, but since you have so many, use them whenever you're about to get hit! (When the screen is full of the green zerg bubbles or Terratron's helpers' bullets). It's easier to get back bombs than drones. I used 2x side missiles and drones for the whole time. | ||

know this is an old topic, but i found a slightly different way to get the achievements that take advantage of a glitch which i wondered if it was unique to my system or potentially could help everyone. basically in the zerg level simply don't kill both guardians and rack up kills (and powerups) on the scourge. eventually the guardians are supposed to fly away, but i found this aspect to frequently glitch allowing for infinite enemies (and thus powerups, points, and lives). often times the guardian remaining even stops shooting at you. this method still takes forever, but when you suck at killing the bosses as much as i do, this method makes the points achievements much easier (though you still gotta struggle through actually beating the zerg and terran bosses for the boss killing achievement). | ||

Shame there's no mac version of autohotkey. I tired writing a script in Applescript, which almost worked, but ended up almost blowing my computer up because I couldn't stop the spacebar spam or click on anything else. Had to force-restart. Does anyone know a mac alternative to this? (or a better way to do it in applescript?) | ||
