Title: Help me! Space Battleship Yamato
Post by: Metalslug on October 29, 2005, 02:21:00 AM
I love this game but I am stuck on level 2 fight 3. I have to fight 3 purple ships then a big green thing and move to an x inside of a circle near a planet.  From there I don't know what to do.  There is a time limit and I'm not sure if im supposed to have some fat guy charge my ship- I don't know what that does, or send out my fighter planes or what.  Please help me.  I'm addicted to this game!

Your post got me singing:

We're off to outer space
We're leaving Mother Earth
To save the human race
Our Star Blazers...

I don't have the game, though, sorry.

I don't know of this game (I think, I might have saw screenshots for it before with that nifty program), is it a shooter? Your post interested me.

Yes, the game is an action simulation with lots of cinemas between battles.  You play on a grid and fire weapons at enemies.  Your weapons must then charge so you have to maneuver the ship to place the enemy in the range of your other guns.  The game plays a bit like Dive Alert for the Neo Geo pocket.

I have not heard of it either.  
Is it a HuCard or CD?

Hasn't anyone else played this or watched the tv series or movies?  I've tried everything but learning Japanese ;)

Oh, I grew up watching the U.S. version (StarBlazers), which is why I started singing the theme song.

But I've never played the game :(

Thanks for the info, Metal Slug. I think the game looks pretty cool, might have to buy it.
