449.0. "TWIN EAGLE" by RAINBW::BERTE () Thu Apr 19 1990 09:11

    
     Is anyone familiar with "Twin Eagle"?
     There is a hint in a previous note "Twin Cobra",
       but that discussion didn't go anywhere.
     I am interested in any hidden tactics or strategy(sp.) in the 
      program,
            or is it as basic as it looks?
     My brothers and I enjoy the game but have trouble getting to the
    sixth screen. Has anyone been successful in completeing this game?
     We found this on the rental shelf at a video store, is the game
    that old that no has an interest?
                                 Thanks

449.1I've got it...AURIGA::DIGILIOLou Digilio ADMS, MLO11-2/E83Tue Apr 24 1990 17:4813
	Hi,

	I also have noticed the reference to "Twin Cobra". I don't believe
	they are the same. I am going to try and save up 9 bombs and see
	what happens though... As far as hint go. I have none to give. I
	enjoy this game very much but find it frustrating when I get nailed
	with lots of accessories. It seems that you have to be well endowed
	with extra weapons if you want to succeed and rescure Joe's 
	brother. I'm sure there's a hint or some kind of hidden advantage
	somewhere. I have not finished the game....

449.2Is this a Hint??RAINBW::BERTEWed Apr 25 1990 10:248
    
     re. -1
    
     Through my experience "speed" is "weapon" needed on the last two stages.
    The game seems to put you into slow motion, forcing you into a no-win
    situation.
     
    
449.3Is too much speed too much?AURIGA::DIGILIOLou Digilio ADMS, MLO11-2/E83Wed Apr 25 1990 12:1611
     
    
	Too much speed can be detrimental to the cause as well. I find 
	myself flying into stray bombs that I would have avoided if I were
	a little slower...

	Maybe the object is to aquire an ubelievably large amount of 
	"speed" so that you are too fast for anything to hit you!

449.4If at first you don't succeed...RAINBW::BERTEMon Apr 30 1990 10:056
    
     Triple cannon balls and double speed has gotten my brother and
    I to the castle twice this weekend.
     But we have yet to survive long enough to "win".
    I love the challenge.
    
449.5how about rockets?AURIGA::DIGILIOLou Digilio ADMS, MLO11-2/E83Mon Apr 30 1990 10:1710
    
�     Triple cannon balls and double speed has gotten my brother and
    

	You havn't had any luck getting there with triple-rockets? These
	seem to eliminate alot of targets on the first shot.

449.6RAINBW::BERTEMon Apr 30 1990 16:127
    
     Re. -1
      
     Yes, they do eliminate a lot of targets. But the spread of the
    cannonballs seems to compensate for the lack of "visuals" when the
    screen is crowdws.
    
449.72 player????DECWET::SEVERNSMon May 14 1990 20:381
    Is this a two player game were 2 can play at the same time.
449.8Two with the Option of OneRAINBW::BERTETue May 15 1990 10:5014
    
     It is a two-player game with the "option" of one player.
    *If you select One Player, the game will only permit the left
    controller to operate. However, a second player can jump in at anytime
    before the first player is terminated.
     OR the single player can switch controllers during play to extend
    the game for a longer time.
     The game is set up with 3 sets of 3 men with a continue between
    sets (this is where you can switch controllers...but you only have
    a few seconds). You can aquire more men depending on your score
    & power-ups you collect.  
    *If you select Two Player, the screen allows the players to interact
    in the same field shooting at the same targets.
    
449.9THE P'sAURIGA::DIGILIOLou Digilio ADMS, MLO11-2/E83Thu May 17 1990 16:427
�    a few seconds). You can aquire more men depending on your score
�    & power-ups you collect.  


	Are the powerups the "P" objects you can collect?
