Arenafoot Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 Game Info: Starting in version 0.4 switch difficulty is active. Left Switch on B = Easy game Left Switch on A = Harder Game SWITCH A: Gravity is more of a factor Ball behavior is different Joystick up for both flippers is disabled. Wall hits are slightly different. The tilt is more sensitive. From title screen press fire to start. Pull back on joystick to pull spring back and press fire to launch the ball. Push left on the joystick to fire the left flipper Push right on the joystick to fire the right flipper Push up on the joystick to fire both flippers (in version 0.5 and up, this is only true if left difficulty switch set to Switch B.) Nudging the pinball can be done (version 0.4 and up). To nudge hold the fire button + up, down, left, or right. It is possible to tilt and lose your ball and bonus points. If you nudge too often it will tilt. At the end of game press fire to begin a new game. Scoring: Space Ship bumper point values - 100 - 200 - 300 (depending on their level). The moving space ship bumper when stationary - 5000 Hitting the right button will freeze the moving space ship for a time. While the ship is stationary the value is 5000. Spinner value - 50 - 100 - 150 - 300 (score depends on the level) Top rollover button value 500 per hit + 1000 bonus points After going over the rollover button at the top of the play field it will award a bonus point of 1000. The maximum bonus points held are 10. There is an indicator for the number of bonus points displayed. Bonus points are awarded at the end of a ball. The rollover button when hit will disappear but can be put back in play by hitting the right wall button. Once you get 5 bonus points, bonus values are doubled. Once you get 10, bonus points are tripled. Mother Ship pylon value - 1000 Space ship bumper and spinner values are increased by hitting both pylons on the middle space ship. When both are hit a ship is dispatched to protect the pylons from additional hits. This ship must be destroyed in order to hit additional pylons. For every successful completion of the pylon destruction an indicator will appear below the ship. Up to four indicators will be shown. On the fifth destruction of the pylons all bumper and spinner values increase, the play field will slightly change and the ship bumper colors will change. I have not placed a way to earn an extra ball yet. I'm thinking around 200k points but will see why you folks think would be a fair point value is. It's current form is NTSC only (sorry PAL). programmed by: winkdot http://atariage.com/forums/topic/235009-alien-pinball/ alien-pinball-08.bin Brian Matherne - owner/curator of "The MOST comprehensive list of Atari VCS/2600 homebrews ever compiled." http://tiny.cc/Atari2600Homebrew author of "The Atari 2600 Homebrew Companion" book series available on Amazon! www.amazon.com/author/brianmatherne
