CyberCore Final Stage

[Obfuscate]

Picked this game up and have been playing the last few days. Once you get the controls and weapon system it seems pretty easy to get to the final stage. Then you get those speedy as hell blue stars or whatever they are and I just can't seem to dodge them yet. Anyone have some tips on what to do with these things? There has to be some pattern I'm not thinking of otherwise maybe you just get lucky once in a while and dodge enough of them to clear the game? Any advice from those who have beat this one?

Just got to get better at the game really.  Stock up on shields and use the right weapon.  After you beat it, play the original X68000 version and really get your ass handed to you.

I haven't played it in a while, but is Cybercore one of the shooters where you can change your "ship's" speed by pressing "select"?

I think he's looking for real advice.

Thanks Superdeadite, maybe just need more practice. Hopefully I get more out of the game then as the first 7 stages are fun but easy after a few tries.

LOL @ Arkhan

Lost Monkey. Yes, the ships speed changes. I play on the mid speed on that level, tried to crank it to max speed but you lose so much control that you avoid some but end up ramming into something else. At least I do.

Anyone else with tips would be appreciated!

I think this exact question has been asked about 3 times, and the most recent was within the past month or two!

Anyway, the trick is dodging the enemies that "DIVE DIVE DIVE" right at you. They always appear at the same places (alternating right and left), so you simply have to force yourself to start dodging left (or right, as it were) BEFORE you normally would.

It actually is as easy as it sounds and you don't need a speed-up (although that certainly helps): DODGE LEFT, DODGE RIGHT, DODGE LEFT, DODGE RIGHT. Break. Fwweeeeww. CRAP! THEY'RE BACK!

I don't recall having a significant problem with any of the other enemies/sequences in the final stage...but I do remember having to learn to DODGE EARLY.

Thanks Esteban!!
